Could you honestly say you would not have joined in?

Greedy, incompetant, rechless bankers, financial speculators, bond traders have bankrupted the world economy - you wont see that lot helping themselves to a looted shop - because the looted economy has far greater pickings.


Corrupt politicians have used tax payers money to bail them out and now seek to pass the cost onto ordinary working people by slashing our hard fought-for public services and welfare benefits. Our schools and hospitals are being left to rot.

Prices are going through the roof whilst wages are being cut.

Thousands face uneployment and eviction from their homes and yet the bankers are getting their massive bonuses again.


This is the real looting that is going on.

Our public services and pensions, our schools, hospitals, care homes and youth services are being looted by a millionaire Tory government to line the pockets of the "sick feral scum" in the City of London.

Cannot disagree with much of what you say, but to get back on topic, it does not appear to be "ordinary working people" that are doing the looting.

Left wing sh!te. Justification for nothing that has been happening in recent days.

I think it depends where you grew up / who you hung out with / how much you hated 'the establishment'.

. . . or whether you had any moral fibre and backbone. Just because your peers act in a certain way doesn't mean you have to follow suit, especially if it's against your understanding of what is 'right'.

[MarillionFan]

No I wouldn't have.

But from previous 'stories' we know that EternalOptimist would have done and RichardCranium is presently in
police custody.

Stealing food because your family is starving is not the same as stealing a TV because it's bigger than the one you currently "own".

If we're playing the "name and shame" game, aren't you the one who lacked the backbone to remonstrate with a group of 12 year-olds?

True - don't disagree with that.

It might be left winged, but it's not entirely tulipe. There is a disturbing trend of 'kleptocratic management' in some parts of the economy and often a serious lack of empathy on the part of some of those who've done very well out of economic freedom. People who do not risk their own money, unlike the shopkeeper who mortgages his house to start his business (and now has to rebuild after some chavs set light to it), yet happily take huge bonusses from their employers while making thousands of people redundant. I'm not saying that big bonusses for capable people are necessarily wrong, I'm not saying that directors should be personally liable to the extent of their full personal wealth, and I understand that sometimes it's necessary to make cuts in staff, but the combination is rather distasteful and I'm convinced that it damages society.

Well it appears I am not alone in remonstrating youngsters. FYI i've had to do quite a few times over the years, in that case they were clearly out of control and I restrained myself because I knew I would have to have clipped a couple round the ear and in this stupid liberal state that means me getting arrested.

I had to have a go at a group of 4 16 years old who littered and were vandalising the park the other night. In their case they apologised, tidied up, i thanked them and they fecked off, the difference being I was more than happy to give one
of them a smack as they were old enough. My point stands about this under sixteen who think they're untouchable.

Have you ever heard the expression "Two wrongs don't make a right"?
