Is it just me, but are the media being unfair, the only people they appear to be showing that are looting, rioting, burning and pillaging are predominately of the Afro-Carribean persuasion?

Thats because that is mainly who is rioting. There are plenty of whites there as well, but don't forget they are mainly showing London, which has a huge percentage of ethnics.
Here in Liverpool a black community worker said they are rioting because they are deprived. So they have blackBerrys, (which they use to organise the riots ), state of the arts TVs and games, designer clothes and trainers, can afford drugs and loads of alcohol, but they are sooooo deprived. Poor things, how my heart bleeds for them.:mad:

It's obviously no laughing matter, but...............

Did anyone else see the little gangsta wannabe with laughable 'Jamaican Yardie' accent, telling Boris Johnson it was all the fault of tax rises meaning people like him couldn't afford to eat.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I don't know what was most hilarious, the thought of him ever having paid taxes in his life, or the fact that obviously well fed, lad in all his designer 'gangsta' gear and bling couldn't afford to eat because of those nast Tories. :rotfl:

They are all just thieving little morons who know full well that IF they are ever caught they'll get some total joke of a sentence that will leave them laughing.

Thank goodness we can still find some humour in these very bleak times.

Regardless of the rioters ethnicity, they're all scum.

how does I don't care what colour the scumbags are ..............use water cannons, rubber bullets (hell use real ones if they want to) and tear gas if needs be.

There how anti-racist is that?

Whos fault is it?

It's our fault.

The governments reduced the individual councils funds, the councils removed the youth centres, play areas etc so the kids have nowt to do, so they grow up thinking its all there is, the government allow us to have such wonderful immigration policies and so on and so on.

We voted the government in.

Somehow - sat in my armchair - I just knew these riots would be all my fault.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the rioters are throwing empty bottles, rather than Molotov cocktails? See, they are so poor, they can't even afford petrol :rollseyes:.

Oh come on, if kids NEED youth centres to stop them being little !!!!!!, then society is already ruined. Only youth centres I saw as a kid were those that other kids had trashed.

If brzillian slum kids can make years of fun out of having a single ball and a patch of dirt in which to play with it, our kids dont need youth centres.
