Britain is paying for the Biblical Saying in Proverbs, “Spare the Rod and spoil the Child.”
Human Rights should be respected but they should never reign over authority especially in the case of children as rules are drawn for a reason.
It is so wrong to stereo type. The riots aren’t about age, gender, race or status.
Charity begins at home. For an 11 year old to be involved is so wrong. Where were his parents? What advice/guidance have they imparted on him this far. That goes for everyone who was involved.
“The LOVE of money is the root cause of all evil.” The 11 year old’s mum a care assistant was out at work looking for a buck. The people who got involved impulsively were out for quick money. And that goes for the other copy cat ‘riots’ elsewhere in England the motivation was with no question the quick financial gain.
Social Networking sites are a necessary evil. The same channels that were used to create quorum for the riots were also used to bring people together of the cleanup of their communities.
The western media has focused on the Malaysian student who after being attacked in the riots; got on to be mugged instead of getting help. I ain’t as shocked as other people cos in good old Uganda, after an accident onlookers will quickly get to the scene not to give first aid but to ransack the victims for money and other valuables. It is very sad but what can one do; other people look at other people’s misfortune as an opportunity.
David’s Cameron’s 1st year as Prime Minister has been dominated by cuts, cuts and more cuts. I am no economist here but with a cut in the police budget supposedly coming is it justified or is he merely cutting for the sake of it. The cuts are definitely getting back at him .
There is a big gap between the rich and the poor. With parliament in recess most of the politicians were away on holiday. Sunday morning we wake up to the shock of what happened in Tottenham. London Mayor is nowhere to be seen and so is the Prime Minister. Both PM and mayor only canceled their holidays after the 3rd night of violence. I bet you most of the people involved in the riots have never been on a plane and to them the word holiday means creating mayhem as a way of keeping themselves busy.
Before these riots I was one of those people who advocated for, ‘ home is were the heart is.’ Well am changing my tune now. There have been so many racial hate responses online; almost 90% of the comments on the riots are out to get black people in general. Clearly the integration of races in this country is a cosmetic one. So if you can still call the place where you come from ethnically home ,i think it is good to have something there for the rainy days.
By day 3, about 415 arrests and the police cells in London were bursting. With legal aid amongst other benefits, Prison here is like booking a vacation with a self contained unit, gym, library and courses offered .So clearly these kids haven’t lost anything, the only people going to pay for these riots are the tax payers.
