London Riots: An Explanation, not an Excuse.

submitted by Ryjkyj

1 decade 3 years 3 months ago

From: dangerousminds.net

"To all the moronic idiots quick to jump down the throats of people looking for the causes of the English riots with the meaningless soundbite “That’s not an excuse!” acquaint yourself with the angry wisdom of London cab driver Mark McGowan. At a time when public discourse has been overrun by a sea of armchair pundits (many of whom live nowhere near riot stricken areas) it’s refreshing to hear the opinions of AN ACTUAL Cockney geezer. GO ON MY SON!

And if you still don’t get it, if you still think that people bringing up issues of social inequality are somehow “excusing” what the looters have done then ask yourself this - how long are YOU going to keep on excusing and endorsing the acts of the criminal classes at the top of our society who allowed this to happen? Because by sticking your fingers in your ears and parroting that bullshit “not an excuse!” line YOU ARE."

This guy seems Miffed.

Very good points he makes, especially about them (government) robbing us all blind. Although I still don't believe that it's the whole explanation it's definitely worth a *promote

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Saturday, August 13th, 2011 11:07pm PDT - promote requested by alien_concept.

What the fuck was that bit about the teeth? When he yells "It's not about my teeth!" I laugh my arse off because i never thought i'd hear that yelled so emphatically. What a great comeback to an insult about your teeth, just put it immediately back on topic - this guy is no nonsense.

God this video should be in comedy for that moment alone, i'm howling with laughter and really can't watch the rest; upvote for the teeth.

Edit: Fuck me i'm glad i listened to the rest. All i can see is his teeth. This is comedy gold, i'd give this guy his own show he's a whole new karl pilkington. Man this guy sustains a high rage level and even raises his rage by notches as time goes by. Wtf was the bit about the socks!? And he even says "you donut", i didn't think we had any of those kind of cockneys left.

Do you know who he is, does he do a lot of those, where is it from?

That was a great rant.

damn good rant, and on the money
