I DO NOT CONDONE LOOTING ... but I support wholeheartedly any protest against the sh*t we are all suffering now - and the sh*t that we will ALL be suffering as it all gets worse - which it will - witness the financial markets of today - these are the short-term financial "decisions" that are killing people's savings, people's pensions, people's futures. Yes - unemployment will rise, and IS rising (despite the ridiculous figures/lies that the "government" are spewing out) - but the global financial crisis is gonna hit more than the 18-25 year olds in this country - it's gonna screw the 50-60 year olds as well - we're already being told we've failed on our pension contributions (NOT OUR FAULT) - we're being made redundant after giving faithful/loyal service to companies (NOT OUR FAULT) - goalposts are being moved all the bloody time (NOT OUR FAULT) - we've done what everyone told us to do from age 18/21 - now - at age 55+ we're being sh*t on - meanwhile the government is telling peeps to work until they're 90 or something like that - and so the 18-25 years unemployment continues to rise ... the powder keg is there ...
Meanwhile - on message boards/Orange/BBC/comment options we still get the "hang the b*st*rds" vitriol from the "I'm All Right" sector - who are mostly clueless about what's really going on in this country (and 95% of 'em can't even bloody spell - just goes to show who are actually running the asylum) - wait until some of these self-righteous b*st*rds get sh*t on as well - it WILL happen ...
London today ... the rest of the country to come (a shame that a REAL protest WILL be hi-jacked by the low-life who have spent their life screwing benefits out of the country - this is where it all goes wrong). Don't forget though - we do have a government that condones this sort of rioting when it happens in Libya/Syria etc ...
Quelle est la différence ?

Mike - many of the young unemployed don't want to work. There are thousands and thousands every year who come out with nothing having dicked about for years and they think someone is going to give them £20k a year on a plate (McDonalds? - I'm not working for six quid an hour). Either that or two years in college doing hair and beauty courses and then a long lucrative career sponging child benefit for their feral offspring. I've been laid off from highly lucrative jobs no less that THREE times since 2001, never failing to bounce back through hard work and determination. Yes, it makes me a "self-righteous bastard", but in my mind, the only answer to a bleak financial climate is to go out and make even more money. You can either whine about the injustice of it all, or get off your arse and do what you can to improve your lot.
Yeah right Anonymous, just how many jobs are out there?
I suggest you spend a few hours in the real world away from the comfort of (I suspect)home owner ship and a few quid in savings and have a look at what jobs you could get that pays a REAL living wage.
Plenty of jobs Trotsky, if you're not too particular. If one doesn't pay enough, then get another part timer. Be prepared to WORK for your money and you may just get somewhere in life.
I left school at time of record unemployment (1980). Yes, I own my home, yes, I have a few quid. I worked for them. Sick and weary of listening to the bone idle whining about how hard life is. (It's always someone else's fault).
You get out what you put in, so you've no-one to blame but yourself.
