they missed a real opportunity

i thought there would be something about it but not heard much thought something might be said on the marcus show last night but nothing youd think nothing happened - it was pretty fucking weird listening to the show carrying on just as normal - feels almost like pirate/semi pirate radio like...

read bits of what the speech and discussion in parliament was about and its pretty dissapointing that most of it is merely reactive and about the police not being up to par rather than anyone talking about dealing with some of the broader concerns. obv law and order should be restored and a...

MIA would fit in well on dissensus i feel. i think grizzelb has made some of the soundest points.

saw more of it yesterday than before. one birmingham guy said on ch4 news that theyre doing it cos the police dont like black and asian people (in the same area where the black/asian riots were ironically, i somehow think he added the asian bit to appeal to the asian reporter interviewing him)...

seen a few interviews with rioters today where they seem to be trying (not very well tbh but hey that doesnt mean the anger isnt real, not their fault they cant articlate it, its michael goves) to ascribe political reasons to what theyre doing. but instead of the police, they should say theyre...

well here they are doing exactly that posing a challenge to the police to show they dont care about them and will do as they please in the face of the riot squads this is a riot about the police ppl keep forgetting doesnt mean their actions arent that of scum however no matter how justified...

http://kenanmalik.wordpress.com/2011/08/09/five-quick-points-about-the-riots/ I am writing a longer and more reflective piece, but in the meantime here are five quick points about the riots in London and elsewhere: 1 This is not a rerun of the inner city riots that shook Britain in the late...

theyre just igniting businesses with no care whether theres a home on top of it or not. ultimately i think theyre burning businesses rather than homes. at least thats what id like to think. but it doesnt make it any better really. esp when theyre - from what ive read/heard - assaulting firemen...

no matter how much i think the causes are legit, and need to be looked into, and im dismayed that tv news barely seems interested in examining this in depth, i am seriously thinking the police need to go hardcore on these little fuckers. yes cos all their other targets make SO MUCH SENSE...

the fact the guardian say the bullet in the radio was police issue is pretty dodgy sounding but im gonna wait til theres confirmation of what happened. but it wouldnt be surprising if the police reacted totally disproportionately.

http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/08/07/7292281-the-sad-truth-behind-london-riot LONDON -- As political and social protests grip the Middle East, are growing in Europe and a riot exploded in north London this weekend, here's a sad truth, expressed by a Londoner when asked by a...

they might not want it to be, but it is. if you consider most kids arent likely to have weekly travelcards riding around london (then again kids do get discount travel rates) theyre likely to spend more time in their local area. plus a lot of kids seem obsessed with their local areas/ends now...

"Another thing that I find interesting is why non-police brutality doesn't get people so excited." um, cos they are paid for by the public to protect us?

dont think you can look at the destruction of the chains as political - mcds is bloody cheap. its just riot behaviour. it has no rules. you can look at it as being unable to take part in consumerism lashing out at the agents of capitalism that make them want stuff they cant afford but looters...

the cause is the same issue thats been deeply entrenched in the black community for decades - police brutality. the later events, im not so sure about. ive heard its cos a 16 yr old was hit by police but this is the sort of thing that is never going away and just boils over every so often and...

surprised all you armchair revolutionaries arent advocating they go and burn and loot more well off areas instead. surely that would make more sense. but then i suppose theres only so many delis and cake shops you can get stuff from.
