Britain faces summer of rage - police
The Guardian ^ | Monday 23 February 2009 | Paul Lewis

Posted on 02/22/2009 7:08:03 PM PST by dr_who

Police are preparing for a "summer of rage" as victims of the economic downturn take to the streets to demonstrate against financial institutions, the Guardian has learned.

Britain's most senior police officer with responsibility for public order raised the spectre of a return of the riots of the 1980s, with people who have lost their jobs, homes or savings becoming "footsoldiers" in a wave of potentially violent mass protests.

Visit the link and check out the picture. I wonder what ethnic group is being represented there. Could be just 100% British juvenile examples of the working class or... hard to to tell with their faces partially covered.

It looks like the one closest to the camera is covering his face with a Pali do-rag. In my opinion it also looks like he is wearing a white skirt.

It will be muslim youth using the economic downturn as an excuse.

As I look closely at the pic, it looks like the same mob we had here in Canada screaming about the Israelis going in to clean up Gaza.

Its the same bunch every time.

Looks like Britain is about to experience a full fledged ethnic race war.

I zoomed the image to about 300 percent and there are quite a few Pali rags being displayed by that mob.

If the Brits want to know how to deal with this, they need to review the movie ‘Zulu’.

Sadly, now would be the time to show leadership in the UK, Brown nor Cameron seem capable of expressing such competence.

It should be wondered how many of the “anti crime” cameras will be suspiciously out of film or in disrepair in areas where the rioting happens.

Heaven forbid scenes of disaffected Britons in general, or muslims specifically be shown in a bad light on the TV machine.

Strike Guadalupe off your vacation plans, the Brits are catching hell there too:

Britons Flee French Island Of Guadeloupe As Rioters Turn On White Families

By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 3:17 PM on 19th February 2009

Britons are among thousands of tourists fleeing Guadeloupe after full scale urban warfare erupted on the French Caribbean island.

Trouble broke out on the island earlier last month after protesters began rioting over high prices and low wages. But the situation escalated this week after protesters began turning on rich white families as they demanded an end to colonial control of the economy.

The troubles come at the height of the holiday season, with thousands of mainly British, French and American tourists on the paradise tropical island.

Not that many Brits there; mostly French families on holiday.

It's not like it isn't easy to see it coming on Guadeloupe.

I was just there last week. More than 20 million adults are not working.

Among them many disaffected mooslimb yoots, no doubt.

Probably 2 million, not 20 million.

The entire population of the British Isles is only approx. 60 million.

Time will tell, but Europe is a basket case. Absolutely anything could happen.
