A caller on LBC Radio came out with a interesting remark...

"It's better to be at the top as a criminal and not at the bottom in sociality".

I wonder.

I don'T. In Germany, many would say: "it'S more beneficial to be on wellfare than to work in a low wages job and get less money."

I think that the cuts announced in the social sector not only hurt some who get really little aid indeed, but also makes angry some who have made themselves comfortable inside the wellfare system and do not plan for own acchievements anymore. Planned cuts threatens their chosen exile from solidarity with the social community that they abuse, and so they turn noisy.

However, this should be checked for in every individual case. Else you also cut many honest and innocent people whose only fault was to have had no or bad luck while you try to clean the system of the parasites that intentionally abuse it. But said honest victims of circumstances should single out and hand over the parasites amongst them, because the latter give the first a bad name.

But anyway, the roots for the decline in cultural integrity that we see, go deeper than just money. Which again cannot be an excuse - just an explanation.

And again: by far not just the poor disadvantaged social low class groups went to the streets, but also quite some members of the middle class and the educated as well. Which reminds of football holiganism, where in case of British hooligans it is known that here also brokers, academics, doctors join the weekend fun and give and taske blows alongside or agaimnst socially lower located holligan gangs that revive some form or archaic tribal culture that is about defending own ground against every foreigner wearing the wrong colours. Football is just the welcomed starting shot, the real fun these people crave for is the beating-up afterwards.

I wonder to what degree this hooligansim and its middle class customers may be compared to the riots there have been right now.

Let'S face it, some people simply enjoy to smash things into pieces and beat up people and have a real good fight, an the comfortably living middle class broker may also enjoy to have his little secret weekend adventure when stealing something that is not his own and afterwards celebrating his hidden act of rebellion and social protest in the pub, feeling cosy when imagining that he is "one of them". That's so cool, you know. Some people just enjoy this. And that is where you do not need to try to explain anything anymore. Instead you need to hit them so hard that they freeze and fall down. Then you can pick them up and bring them to court.

The best of a rotten bunch who got the job. That tells me British politics is about as useful as putting your shopping in a Brown wet paper bag.

Time to get the yard broom out and sweep this rubbish away.

Its lucky "call me Dave" didn't ship over the water cannon.
It kicked off in Derry during the apprentices.
3 vehicles were burnt, an attempted arson on one building plus a few petrol bombs and a pipe bomb thrown at police....a very quiet weekend really and they didn't have to use baton rounds or the water cannon at all.
You can see why Orde thinks Cameron is such a pillock
