In the news

I remember Toxteth after the Liverpool riots and the devastation that was still in evidence many years later. It served a perfect reminder of how bad things actually were in that area, however the issues that affected the people of Liverpool (not just Toxteth) are miles away from the reasoning behind breaking and entering a Jewellers in Enfield for bling and then fighting with the police when they broke the looting up. That is not a riot with any underlying reasons, it is simply theft by cunts. Yes, cunts. Tottenham was, and possibly will be the only place so far where there is a vague passing resemblance to what happened in Liverpool, Brixton, Handsworth, Moss Side etc. in 1981 where the looting was secondary to a protest using significant violence against the Police.

There was I recall a fair amount of looting in Moss Side in 1981, though not as much as has been apparent in Tottenham. This was mainly due to there being fuck all of note in the way of shops in the area then. It's exactly the same pattern, a protest by some against perceived injustice from the police, escalates and other less savoury elements join in. Shocking really, people wanting something for nothing, who do they think they are MPs ?
