Analysis: Riots shake faith in UK austerity, stability

[Ravi]

The riots that turned London and some other English cities upside down this week have undermined that model, raising questions about the sustainability of spending cuts and a widening gap between rich and poor.

From many of the dealing rooms and offices in the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf, traders, wealth managers and analysts could see billowing smoke in several directions this week as rioters torched buildings and looted shops.

Order was restored in the capital at least on Tuesday night with a massive show of force by police, but they too face the drastic spending cuts that will affect everything from the military to social benefits and inner-city services.

Seems like the Republicans want to take us down this same path.

Third world people = Third world country

 

[Ravi]

Exactly, Tank. Republicans are third-worlders. They want us to be Somalia.

 

[whitehall]

Wish for the good old days of Ayer's weatherscum ravi? The only time radical lefties are happy is when they are torching a corporation.

 

[Tank]

Exactly, Tank. Republicans are third-worlders. They want us to be Somalia.

I don't think Samalians are Republicans

 

[ShackledNation]

I guess these people are going to realize the hard way that debt is real and has to be paid back.

so if the evil rich refuse to hand over their money to you, you're gonna act like a heathen and burn the joint down? is that what you are saying?

This is what the Left is already doing in the USA. Look at the WI riot.

The American Left is going to out with their version of the "Arab Spring"

Government cannot continue to take from the producers to fund the lifestyle of the non-producers. If you have a propensity to be in fear of those who suck at the taxpayer tit going into a riotous frenzy if we don't continue to feed them free stuff, it is YOU who are the problem.

This is typical lazy reporting and editorializing of the news.
The violence in the UK has ZERO to do with the UK economy or jobs.
These acts of savagery are being perpetrated by thug criminals who were thug criminals to begin with.
Anyone who sympathizes, makes excuses for, says they disagree "but"...is an asshole.
Political correctness allows mob rule to exist by using political pressure to tie the hands of law and order.
I will be the first on here to say that if anything like this ever happened near my home, I would not hesitate to use any means necessary, fair and unfair to vanquish my enemy.
If the law will not protect me, my Constitutional right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness kicks in at that precise moment.

You need a history lesson. Every time in history that the income gap gets so wide, there are wars, revolutions, etc.

Isn't it ironic that this inequality is occurring during a period in which government has grown more intrusive?

I know your probably used to handouts, so you won't understand this. The thing we can learn from London is giving entitlement do NOT provide incentive to change one's situation. In fact it does the exact opposite. It gives them incentive to get public assessance. Once entitlement become permanent, then they are hard to take away. The entitlement receiptant becomes to have a self-righteous to the entitlement! Once you take it away, this self-rigtheousness comes out in a destructive way!

Yep. Part of the reason I don't object to contributing to the poverty stricken. I'd rather they eat than riot.

I bet you are more of an entitlement junkie than I am. How'd you pay for your college?

Nobody objects to contributing to help the poor. The objection arises when the poor are automatically entitled to funds obtained through coercion from taxpayers.

That is a result of an irrational fear you libs have of mob rule.
Most public assistance DOES NOT go to the poverty stricken.
Please come with me to my County Social Services building. In the parking lot you will see cars and SUV's that most responsible middle class people would not purchase or if they did, placed a substantial down payment.
I am sick and tired of seeing well dressed people handing over WIC coupons to grocery store cashiers. These people eat way better than I do...
I would say that at least 2/3rd's of all social entitlement recipients are gaming the system.
Don't hand us this bullshit about handing money over to the poor to keep them from rioting.
BTW, those fucks over there in the UK are not the poor. They are common fucking criminals who are too God Damned lazy to get a job. They are also teenaged thugs who think it's fun to destroy other's properties.

I view your insistence we continue to fund the public trough as a direct threat to our economic well being. And you threaten to take food off MY table.
Ok, Mr My heart bleeds for the poor, come get ya some. Better bring reinforcements.
Or you can avoid embarrassment and write a bigger check.
I am sick to death of you do gooder socialists foisting your brand of compassion upon the rest of us while dipping your greedy grubby fearful paws into our bank accounts.

Yes yes yes...When all else fails you libs insist your opposition is not telling the truth.
Thing is you're too fucking lazy to have a look at the type of people who are drawing social entitlements. You just assume they are all downtrodden pure as the driven snow simple folk who need a helping hand. WRONG....Most of them are 3rd or 4th generation recipients of taxpayer funded permanent vacations.
