#2 British Degeneracy on Parade, can we be far behind?

At the same time, his expensive education will have equipped him for nothing. His labor, even supposing that he were inclined to work, would not be worth its cost to any employerpartly because of the social charges necessary to keep others such as he in a state of permanent idleness, and partly because of his own characteristics. And so unskilled labor is performed in England by foreigners, while an indigenous class of permanently unemployed is subsidized.

The culture of the person in this situation is not such as to elevate his behavior. One in which the late Amy Winehousethe vulgar, semicriminal drug addict and alcoholic singer of songs whose lyrics effectively celebrated the most degenerate kind of life imaginablecould be raised to the status of heroine is not one that is likely to protect against bad behavior.

#3 When you invite Papio Hamadryas to the table and he pissed in the tea pot, who is to blame?

#4 Had to google Papio Hamadryas. He comes off looking like a noble creature compared to the rioters.

#5 Any video of not yuppy white kid in sweat pants sectors? To be fair on critique, the police need some line discipline and some good chants with buckler thumps. Honestly I've seen worse on a Friday night in Albequerque (not overall, just this video footage).

#6 I sort of feel like I am watching the halfway point of "A Clockwork Orange"- a movie Kubrick despised having made...

#8 As a former protester type I have this to day: the London police have no idea what they're doing. First, those riot shields are a joke compared to the full-body shields the SFPD Riot Squads use. Second, their tactics suck. They should be forming slow moving lines of two -- one for clubbing, the second for cuffing - with paddy wagons following slowly behind.

You get two three of these lines moving up different streets, forcing the bulk of the rioters in a particular direction -- usually a dead-end street -- where you've got a third waiting for them. Then it's beatings for everyone!

Mobs are dumb. Your tactics don't have to exactly be Alexander The Great level stuff.

#9 Second, their tactics suck.

Such things atrophy when your cops sit and watch CCTV feeds.
