British rioters the spawn of a bankrupt ruling elite

and they continue to make statements based on their simplistic stereotypes, and display ignorance about their own major cities.

 

I moved on to more up to date threads and discussed the handgun found at the scene.

Do you actually have a comment on the OP, or are you just chasing me around the board?

Ah, leaving the original bollox lying around without apology or retraction. That's what I'm highlighting. Why ?

Certainly. My comment is to ask why you would feel comfortable about posting another thread of opinionated bollox when everybody has now seen at least one previous thread of your opinionated bollox which has proved to be based upon falsehood. How many more such ' threads ' must we suffer, people will be asking . Let's examine the latest opinionated bollox;

No, it isn't ' apparent to all '. It's only ' apparent ' to anybody interested in opinionated bollox. As for ' brilliant '....well.

 

I have nothing to apologize for. I didn't write the article.

I see, you have nothing to say about the OP, yet it bothers you so much that you can't stop complaining in it. LOL!

Yes, you do. Disseminating misinformation is objectionable. Refusing to withdraw it and apologize - when collared- is odious . Now's your chance to clean your sheet.

You don't actually have anything to say about your OP yourself.

 

Still sponging off your dad huh? And I suppose your mummy still irons your boxer shorts.

Grow up mate!

 

Wow... Sorry to hear that. Um... I guess I'd move to Ireland if I was in your position.

 

I made one sentence. You made a lot of assumptions in return.

I posted what I did to make a point. Consider the source. There is likely some truth in what the columnist had to say, but there's clearly a heavy bias involved. The OP quotes an editorial, not a factual article.

 

There isn't any work in Ireland!

 

Good point... Still, I hear it's beautiful over there (the Republic of Ireland).

 

Yeah it is. Bit expensive though.

 

It seems like England is pretty expensive in its own right though.

I don't know... Canada might not be a bad choice for a UK citizen looking to relocate. They still have jobs and are much cheaper in most cities.

 

Yes , I suppose , its true , England is "expensive " it depends where one's income come from . If your income is from US Dollars , then Yes , if its from EUROs , then England is NOT expensive. Most of our tourist nowadays come from the Continent ,
which amply compensates for American tourists.

RE - relocation, one of my son's friends recently move to Ontario, so far - so good for him + his young family.

Being much travelled , I've reached a stage where I'm as happy as can be , to remain here in our s green and pleasnt land , for the rest of my life.

Unlike Canada + US ,(with its beautiful national parks - some I've been fortunate to visit ) our country is compact , all its beauty is within a short distance - it take no more than one or two hour's drive out of London or any other city to reach , some of the most beautiful counryside on God's earth.
On top of which , within two hour flight , one can be in any Mediterranean paradise .

However , I would'nt have been satified going through life not having visited/seen Grand Canyon, and most of America's National Parks. Frankly , that's all america has ever meant to me.

cheers.

And the Irish are great peeps overall. I wish I were in Bordeaux right now (currently crowded by Irish folks for the Rugby game against France). I would have happily competed against them for the third half, and most likely lost

 

Couple of snags with this post. It is clearly written from a right wing point of view, but it is the right wing who have run the country since the 1970s, who deregulated banking, who precipitated the crash and the riots.

Also, comparing Lenin with a rioter - Lenin was the bloke who organised pulling Russia out of WW1, a war which had cost 3 million Russian lives, and who wanted to give peasants the right to farm land (feudalism had been formally abolished, but the cost of the land made it impossible to buy, so that meant massive debts). He was not a rioter. His aims were the opposite. A rioter wants to destroy and to grab. Lenin wanted to create and to give. His brother by the way was a terrorist and was executed, so Lenin learned a valuable lesson early. Only organised mass action is useful.

They weren't just allowed. Government begged Jamaicans to emigrate to fill jobs Brits no longer wanted to do.

 

That's because most of the Irish emigrated.

True, which is poor social planning, primarily in a couple of senses. Firstly, this is deliberately creating an underclass of immigrants who should be be assisted in reaching their own individual potential. Secondly, importing labour on a permanent basis during boom times, unless employment availability can be permanently maintained, is social suicide.

 

Trashing local businesses and looting is such a waste of a riot and downright greedy.

They should turn their attention to the people with actual power in their country, that is, if these looters are not just common criminals.

 

All rioters are common criminals.

 

Ah! But they can't.

A right wing extremist is someone that disagrees with liberalism, naturally. 

 

It'd be a great way to "thin the herd" of deadbeats and malcontents, though, if the shopowners were allowed to have guns.
The local unemployment rate would drop precipitously after a good culling of the rioters. 

 

Farmer's shoot vermin. Just sayin'
