London Calling or Working for the Clampdown

London Calling or Working for the Clampdown?


from King World News:
My Blog:

“There aren’t just one or two flash points, there are hundreds of flash points at which people are going out and smashing down doors, looting, setting fire to buildings and you literally, this morning, have millions of decent, law abiding Londoners who are very, very frightened indeed.  And we have a government who are mostly on holiday, who appear not to have a clue what to do.

I just feel that we’ve got to get a grip pretty quickly and whilst it may sound a radical thing to do, the police aren’t big enough to cope and I think what the British government needs to do is to call in the army pretty damn quickly.  Let’s put soldiers on the street, let’s give people a feeling that they can’t just run riot everywhere and allow the police to actually get on with their job. "

When asked if people have lost trust in the West in their governments Farage replied, “They haven’t got trust in the governments, they haven’t got trust in the banks, they haven’t got trust in their own currencies and we’re witnessing a massive shift in power from West to East in the world, aided and abetted by appalling governments in the West. Difficult to say exactly which way things will go, but they are going to get worse, a lot worse before they get better.”

Sources report the exact cause for massive riots, now in their third day in London, is unknown. While the trigger may be a deadly shooting by police, I believe the cause is social-breakdown fueled by rising unemployment, loss of dignity, and a desperate realization that hope for a better future and for government to do something responsible about jobs and rising food prices is fruitless.

Boston.Com, The Telegraph, and The Guardian have stunning images of massive riots in the UK.
