Miliband Nonsense

[xoggoth]

We have got to avoid simplistic answers

Not any one answer certainly as there are at least 3 separate issues:

a) Black gang crime
b) Chavs/welfare/rights culture etc etc (actually lots of issues here but can't be @rsed to list em)
c) Leftist anarchists

As I said before, I think the last is considerably underestimated. Who were the whites involved in initial riots, as opposed to chavs who got in on the subsequent looting? These people were involved in the student's riots and it seems most unlikely, given their daft global society/all the fault of rich people views, that they weren't involved in this.

BBC News - Riots: Miliband blames 'me first' culture

"I deeply regret that inequality wasn't reduced under the last Labour government. But we did great things to tackle inequality in our society," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

If the things you did (over 13 years) to tackle inequality didn't reduce inequality then I hardly think you can call it "great things"

He urged the prime minister set up a public inquiry in the next few days, adding: "We have got to avoid simplistic answers.

"There's a debate some people are starting: is it culture, is it poverty and lack of opportunity? It's probably both."

Straight after saying that simplistic answers should be avoided, he then gives a simplistic answer.
