Is this the new 1981???

We have all seen the riots spreading across London, and a possible civil unrest in Birmingham,  The riots are reminicent of the ones in 1981.  In fact I am sure that Tottenham was one of the places involved in both cases,  I have previously likened this year to 1981, with rising unemployment, uncertainty with the economy, a royal wedding.  We sort of had the the seige when Bin laden's compound was stormed and the twat was excuted.  I cant really remember 1981, as I was a 3 year old.

Ok, alot of the riots happened in deprived innercity areas, full of ethnic minorities, who felt that the police was persecuting them,  alot of these people we ruled by the gang culture.  Ok now look at the ones happening today and yes, the same causes,  gang and drug culture are rife in these areas.  Ok, the event that sparked it all off happened on thursday with the shooting of a man, who was in a minicab. 

I am sure the tension was there before the shooting, and it was just waiting for a catalyst to spark it all off.
However in these situations what can start of as a peaceful protest can escalate when the rentamob brigade get involved, they are happy to travel anywhere with the sole intention of starting trouble, turning people against people, making hell for those trying to live their lives.

London has far too many people crampt into dense spaces,  take a load of rats and put them in the same cage and they will turn on each other.   Society is interwoven, and one tug means the whole thing starts unravelling.  We are at an interesting time, and yes I do not like the government, I do not really trust the police, and I believe things need to change, but you cant change things by damaging property, putting normal peoples lives in danger.  There is no easy answer to this, Society is to blame, we created this culture.  The culture that allows crime, drugs arms gangs and so on to thrive, the young people join these gangs because they want a sense of belonging.  territories are defined by post codes.  So wrong.

Things are looking very Orwellian, unnecessary rules and regualtions are brought in, people going about there everyday business are targeted because they are doing slightly differant things to everyone else, and being individuals.  Again things get like this because we as society let it happen.  So I look at the footage, look at the news about the global recession, and come to the conclusion that we all reap what we sow.  We are all to blame. 

You may not agree with me, but I have said my piece, we all have individual thoughts, if only we were allowed to carry out our individuality the world could be a wonderful place.  just thing about the picture taken from the moon of the earth.  Then we will truely understand the world we live in. 

That is all for now TTFN
