The REAL cause of the totenham riots...

Post Reply New Topic

I don't live in London so I do not know all the details. But I do want to point out, I do know what it's like to be frustrated living in the lower gap of society. Here in America there is a lot of prejudice attitudes toward the poor and the gap between the wealthy and poor is getting bigger. Even people who were once in the upper middle class are losing their jobs and experiencing poverty first hand.

I'm not sure what I missed. I've read all of your posts and I still do not see the excuse for what is happening right now. I do not have the tendency to take either sides too quickly. I don't know what the corruption from police is like over there but I do know that despite what has happend, this is not a protest but theft and robbery. I don't believe for one second these guys are protesting or doing the right thing to get their message spread across. There are much better ways of protesting without burning buildings and cars and stealing a bunch of stuff out of stores and people while cowardly wearing masks. All they are doing is making themselves look bad and frankly I don't blame the people in London who are angry. These guys are acting out in the most childish ways. Maybe you're ok with it but if worse came to worse and one of these kids starts attacking someone or robbing another person just because they want to get their "message" spread, don't be surprised if these people they rob from should have to defend themselves with any means necessary. This kind of sh*t happens to all countries regardless of race or creed. In the end most people get hurt. I think the Egyptian protesters did a much a better job than these half wits and my hats off to them. They united themselves no matter who they were with few bad apples. Nevertheless, they united and tried to get rid of this division that these kids are helping perpetuate.


Be great if you could expound on these differences you're talking about. I hate racism as the next person and it does exist. I hate poverty and it exists and it's not just a thing that happens to people of color but of people of many creeds including whites. If you want to bring these issues up, at least bring them up in a way that makes sense to everyone without resorting to this crap. This is not a protest this is robbery. Had it occurred to you that perhaps the very stores that're being busted and robbed are the very jobs people are working at? Has it not occurred to you that those who are trying to better themselves are now having to pay what little they have because of these guys? All this is going to do is prove that many of us who are "commoners" are nothing but criminals who want to leach off everyone else. All this is going to do is anger people who had nothing to do with what has been provoked.

Something to add: How can you call these people parasites when it's the rich who are keeping all of the money and cutting off everything to the poor including money and decent education? If you cut these things off then how are people going to get decent enough jobs like the rich?

Its the government and the media that spin the poor on benefits as parasites. The Tories as the same old Tories thinking about the rich. Labour were the same back in the 90s under the New Labour (Pseudo Tory) BS. You know today in the news it was said that the bankers got another pay rise, a great day to cover that up now!!

Don't trust the Tories as after the Toxeth riots back in the 80s they did say that they would resolve the social issues that riot pointed out, they did jack sh**! ! Its taken my city 20 years to recover from the '81 and '85 riots.

No, I don't trust them. It was just that post on here that spoke of them being parasites and how great it was for where they live where they have more guns than people.
