But eventually they cracked as well, and for much the same reasons.<br /><br />As for no prospects of jobs, who would employ these people? I wouldn't, would you? And besides, with the nanny state paying the bills, why would they want to work anyhow?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-37591419969172974572011-08-12T15:45:37.631-07:002011-08-12T15:45:37.631-07:00the reasoning displayed here is false, the root of...the reasoning displayed here is false, the root of the issues that have caused the riots are less to do with the welfare state and more to do with conservative policys of the early 80's that were designed to 'eliminate' the working class, these policys were admittedly continued by unapologetic Thatcher supporter Tony Blair under his extended run as a labour prime minister, although with a much more liberal slant towards creating jobs in the public sector.<br /><br />The idea that we can exist as a nation without maufacturing and industrial jobs on a large scale is a fallacy. <br /><br />The service sector cannot provide the stablity, community and political envolvement that these unionised professions offered. This is why we have large groups of people (who are no longer just young) that are acutely aware they have no real future and little to lose in a system that ensures them a life of near poverty and rubs it in their face with a heavily publicised consumerist and celebrity culture.<br /><br />can you imagine any of these people tunring out to loot if they had a secure job down the pit or on the line with their dad, uncle, brother mother etc. <br />That provided them with a political leadership with their interests in mind and ensured their furure was cared for with a pension scheme.<br /><br />as it is they are politically ignored and left to find their own way as individuals. We are responsible for breaking up the communities that would have prevented this behaviour.<br /><br />There is a lot of talk in the uk that these riots are plain crimminality and not politcally motived.<br />That statement is true, but not complete.<br />while they may not be politically motivated, they are the result of politcal polices from the last 30 years.Cronhourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00764383734266565584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-44952131837682685792011-08-12T04:13:22.960-07:002011-08-12T04:13:22.960-07:00Clearly, a lot more abortion is required to pre-em...Clearly, a lot more abortion is required to pre-emptively prevent the creation, on a massive scale, of mobs of yobs with perfectly pointless, worthless and meaningless lives. <br /><br />Trouble is, it's not so nice to kill them off after birth, and the poor Brits need a solution now. <br /><br />ABortion is the best long term solution, and a total cessation of the appalling practice of encouraging breeding by those who cannot afford it and will only give to hopeless, useless and valueless humans, but what is to be done in the meantime? <br /><br />But of course, it wasn't just the yobs living off charity! So Coulter's analysis is pretty much worthless, too. <br /><br />Perhaps a simpler, more obvious (and therefore denied?) truth is that it's just another manifestation of normal human nature - murder, rape and pillage when given half a chance! <br /><br />And if Coulter is seriously suggesting that it requires a welfare state to create riots and the like, she is more clueless, deluded and blind to historical reality than I've often suspected. <br /><br />I'm no fan of the welfare state, but neither am I a fan of mindless, blind faith in ignorance and deceit.Felix Quihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329873729547811306noreply@blogger.com
