Speaking in the House of Commons Thursday, Prime Minister Cameron's “explanation” for the outbreak of street disturbances across England demonstrates a total ignorance and poverty of understanding on his part of the nature of the breakdown in his society. He blames it on “criminality pure and simple” and “pockets of sickness” and “lack of individual morality and responsibility”.
This view is largely echoed in the British political establishment of all parties and the media.
The looting, thievery and lawlessness that Cameron so condemns is but the reflection at the street level of British society of what is taking place on a much greater scale at the upper echelons of government and the economy.
Despite the appearance of pinstripe suits and well-groomed accents, we can, if we are honest, see decades of looting and thievery of economic and financial resources by corporate elites aided and abetted by Labour and Conservative governments. The taxpayer bailout of corrupt banks initiated by Labour PM Gordon Brown and now overseen by Cameron, paid for in large part by austerity in public spending cuts, is but the latest manifestation of official robbing of the majority to swell the already outrageous wealth of the ruling elite class.
Cameron and his gang of plumby-accented thugs are gunning for $150 billion in public spending cuts to pay for the criminal enterprise known as British banking. This is racketeering that a street gang in London’s east end can only marvel at... and indeed, in a very real way, only emulate.

Yes. Troughing bastards the lot of them.
Mmmm time for another glass of sangria methinks. Cheers.
You are quite right DL it is HIS society and not mine.
I like you have never ever signed up to be members of his unnamed society so there is nothing to leave. We aren't member but every time I bring this simply truth with friends and acquaintances they shit themselves because to them the opposite of society is anarchy, to them anarchy means chaos not an absence of government.
Therin lies the rub. As shitty and as useless as the Eu satellite HMG is, as shitty as the establishment is, as shitty as the banksters are, as shitty as the police/nhs/schools are, as vile as the taxation burden/welfare state burden is these people will simply accept it all.
It's nearly enough to make me move to Scotland!
Tiger, sangria, do you not mean Chateau de Rothschild '54, gifted by your banking pals. Or are you at my house in Spain, you bastard!
Bill, therein lies the rub! People are too scared of change. As long as they can get through their miserable lives and leave some dosh to their kids, they're happy. A very poor aspiration for the most intelligent species on the planet! You'd be welcome in Scotland. You can take my place, when I emigrate to Spain.. Keep it warm for me, in case I come back!
Banned, I don't know if you saw the latest, 'Law and Order UK', which I think was on tonight on Channel 4 or 5, (I had it taped), but it was about gangs in London and was actually very informative. They were just there most of them for the craic as they would say in Ireland.
No I didn't, I don't watch telly; I expect it told you all about the scumfilth chucking trainers over telegraph wires, marking their 'turf' like animals who piss on trees.
Banned, aye I've seen that all over the country, quite a lot in Scotland as well. I was told it's where a drug dealer comes to sell his poison.
I think you will find that the gangs mark their territories in that way. It would be a bit obvious to the buzzies for a drug dealer to do that.
Banned, you may be right. What gang are you in?
