England Rioting

[Vogue Star]

Anyone else keeping up with the rioting in England?

I personally think the reason for this, is a lack of discipline. This has nothing to do with money in my opinion, nothing at all to do with the "poor" and anarchy. It is just kids that have an easy life, with no punishment in school, lazy parents that don't give two f**ks about their kids, and the fact that parents can no longer punish their children without being viewed as abusive. Political Correctness is a load of bollocks. I am really frustrated with today's world (UK, no idea what it's like in US/Australia/Other Countries).

It's the thugs, drug-pushers and lazy people that are bringing the world down and causing these riots in Britain.

Yes, the Government are partly to blame with their HUGE cuts, and total lack of care for the country, but all in all, when people say "there aren't jobs so I won't bother doing anything except steal and cause an uproar" ... they should get off their asses like the rest of us and find a way out of poverty!! I am nowhere near middle-class, I am fully working class. I spent my childhood in a house of 10 people, with only £20,000 coming in to support us. My parents were disciplinary in a loving manner, kept us in check and taught us the greater values in life, like respect and hard work. I, and many others like me, have actually gotten off our bums and WORKED to get where we are, not just sponge off the Government, then blame the Government for ALL our problems (even though they are responsible for some of them).

First off I completely agree with everything that has been said so far regarding this completely disgusting behaviour. Nickness89, you touched on an important point above, which reminded me of something I saw on the news this morning. There was a woman being interviewed last night as she was helping people mindlessly destroy and steal. She claimed the reason she was looting etc, was to "get her taxes back". Let's see... does a law abiding tax-payer act in that manner...? No, I don't think so either. Funny thing was, she had her face covered the entire time. If she's so adamant, and if this is what she believes in, then why hide her identity? Because she's a coward like the lot of them. My family is working class also, and I am one of five children. My parents worked their balls off to look after us, my dad worked nonstop until the day he died. Like you, we were taught to respect our elders and work hard. So, it make me physically sick when these mindless scum crawl out of the woodwork to voice their opinion on a matter that is nothing to do with them. It's any excuse to create havoc for attention. The EDL did a protest outside where I work earlier this year, I've never wished for a bomb to drop on my town so much in my entire life

The whole reason this rioting got out of hand is due to the softly, softly approach that England's police force has been made to adopt. There is no discipline, and no deterrent. Out of the hundreds that were arrested or detained very few will face a serious charge. Suspended sentences and tiny fines are already been handed out left, right and centre. The prisons are full, so there is nowhere to put them.
I agree with Rowan on giving them their just desserts... Machine guns and tanks is what we need! If Afflex's palace in Manchester gets burned down, I'll be so pissed off!
