I’m surprised Boyle didn’t have a lengthy, inane dance number at the opening ceremony to publicizes the poor economy in England. He must have run out of money.
I know what they mean, it’s economic inequality that forces me to hand over the paycheck to the wife every payday. (Ducking, running very very fast, now!).
I would like to tie this bolshevik worm to a chair and tell her the story of my family, who arrived as migrants after world war two, the men sent off as labourers regardless of their trade or professions, the women and children left behind in migrant camps in the middle of no-where in army camps until their husbands and fathers could find them a place to live in some small country town - there was no accommodation provided for dependants and no welfare.
In the town where we ended up (my mother worked as a live-in cook on a farming property) while my stepfather lived in a construction camp, the men built huts in a wooded region near the town tip without plumbing or electricity.
And no one spoke the language when we arrived, we came from all over europe, couldn’t even talk to each other, and I recall clearing thistles and picking tomatoes on my hands and knees after school, to earn a few shillings.
Did we riot? Did we steal? Did we burn down the shops in town? Did we blame anyone?
Of course we didn’t. We were, man woman and child, without exception, grateful for the basic shelter we had, the plentiful food, the FREEDOM!
We weren’t marxists, and that’s got to be the difference.
Steaming Pantload of Leftist BS Alert!
The trigger event of the 2011 riots - the shooting of Mark Duggan - is still mired in controversy a year after the event. The official Home Office government report of the Riots, Communities and Victims Panel goes to extraordinary lengths to state that the 2011 riots were not racially motivated, nor were the nationwide looting and arson that followed perpetrated exclusively by the black underclass.
The fact is, Mark Duggan would be best described, in America parlance, as a "gang-banger". Unnamed police sources claimed via The "Daily Telegraph" that Duggan was a "well known gangster" and a "major player and well known to the police in Tottenham". Operation Trident, a London Metropolitan Police unit responsible for gun crime within the black community, had Duggan under surveillance.
On August 6th, 2011, Duggan's relatives and local residents marched on Tottenham Police Station. The demonstrators wanted information from police about the circumstances of Duggan's death. A chief inspector spoke with the demonstrators, who demanded to see a higher-ranking officer. A younger and more aggressive crowd arrived at the scene around dusk, some of whom were carrying weapons. Police responded strongly to a 16-year-old girl who threw a missile at them. This was the flash point which led to the nationwide riots.
And yet, that wealth doesn’t trickle down anywhere, you know?
Yes, it does trickle down.They’re bitching about not enough trickling down to deadbeats. Too much trickles down to deadbeats everywhere is the problem
Keep fanning the flames, NBC, and they will end up with “Economic Equality”.
