The Riots in London are a Culmination of Decades of Failed Social Policies
WinstonSmith33 Blog Spot ^ | 8/9/2011 | Winston Smith

The underclass are rising up. No longer content with simply burglaring and mugging the decent law abiding working classes that have the misfortune to dwell amongst them, they have now decided to torch and terrorise the very communities they come from. What we are witnessing in London and in other cities across Britain at the moment is an attack upon the decent and law abiding citizenry of the country. Their places of work have been attacked, looted and even burned down. Opportunisitic burglaries have occured and violent attacks upon the police and innocent individuals are widespread. Fear is endemic and people are anticipating a fourth night of chaos and disorder. The once great nation of Britain is being brought to its knees by a festering parasitic underclass that has been fostered by decades of failed social policies in the spheres of education, criminal justice, social services and welfare provision.

The abandonment of effective discipline in schools, the namby-pamby non-judgementalism that pervades social services and the youth offending service and a compliant state that funds dissolute lifestyles are all contributory factors to the chaos on our streets. The forces of law and order that are putatively the guardians of the peace are stymied in their efficacy by a political class that eschews robust policing when it is needed. This morning on Sky News, the Home Secretary, Theresa May, dismissed the option of using water cannon when she said: "The way we police in Britain is not through use of water cannon...the way we police in Britain is through consent of communities."

Interesting, well-written analysis by a man who has spent time working in Britain's juvenile crime bureaucracy.

Could it be that even some members of the British left are turning against what the state has wrought?

And that is why the riots continue, this could have been shut down the first night......

Watching that liberal moron Bob Beckel on Fox News’ “The Five” keep saying he isn’t defending the rioters, BUT (insert defense of rioters here).

The American left is not as bad as the British left, but it’s not for lack of trying and/or arrogant stupidity.

Yep, after years of criminalizing the law abiding and kissing the butts of the criminals(muzzies included)the system has finally broken down. You can’t expect people who have no respect for the law to obey it.

Does the Irish Republic want Northern Ireland? Now is the time to take it back by breaking a few windows and burning a car or two. They can probably pick up Scotland too with two boats and a few bricks.

Why do liberals think you can reason with savages? This is the same approach they take with Jihadists.

Naw. Between the police and the armed citizens, the anarchists (read students and hippies) will go home very quickly.

Maybe in Wyoming the law abiding gun possessors in the majority, but that is not the case in any major city in the US.

I wonder if the lunatic Mike Malloy will be calling for the same thing here.

Turn the “underclass” loose on Theresa May. Maybe she can bake them cookies and sacrifice a goat in a voodoo ceremony.

Until the elites get the full-force of their Frankenstein creation in their faces, they won’t understand that people are slightly upset with commie multi-culturalism. Another target should be the homes and offices of the fascist BBC.

Hey, Brits. So sorry we took your best citizens and landed them in America. Deal with it, you wankers. Check the ash urns of your ancestors and see if there’s any balls left.
