https://www.youtube.com/watch?featureplayer_embedded&vweGEv_BhjNw Unless you want some cheap Nikes or a plasma TV. Cos ransacking JD Sports is SO revolutionary! Liberate those Sweatshop Reeboks! Westfield to the World! Ironic the revolutionary anti-capitalist anarchists bigging the kids in the hood looting for gear to maintain their profile; mainly because those kids would laugh at their ideas, being the perfect Thatchers (grand?)children. Yes the revolution will be televised on my nice 50" TV! As of writing this, Tottenham and Wood Green had The Riot Tour 2011 yesterday, and tonight disturbances in Enfield, Kingsland Road, Ponder's End, Edmonton Walthamstow and Brixton kicking off, althougn not as dramatic as Tottenham still very stony burny. And of course looty. Sad they never learned the lessons of '85 isn't it? The SUS laws, the no jobs, the unemployment, the Big Society That Doesn't Include You. Still disappointed that their idea of revolution is raiding and torching the local Aldi, though. And about the police shooting of a bloke who was far from squeaky it seems? Not exactly Blair Peach nor Ian Tomlinson, I do have some sympathy for those having to stop hardened or armed criminals, however bad they are at communicating - an impossible task if the community shields them, and calls them 'elder'. Really places like Tottenham have to face up to their dark side too, rather than just blaming the police - who are bad - for everything. The black on black shootings and kids accidentally getting in the firing line are testament to that. (Maybe they need some Violence Interrupters like in Chicago - a great idea and I'm going to see the film tomorrow thanks Dean for the link). Even turns out I might be wrong about this Chav Gangsta Knees Up, that Mark Duggan didn't shoot as the Guardian report the bullet in the radio was police issue (although I still maintain that no 'honest geezer' pulls gang signs in photos or talks of the 'feds' following him - or can spot same)? If so, gonna be a Summer of Hate, don't mind the Long Hot Summer bit, but you do need the sun bit for that. Looks like no-one trusts the police anymore anyway (have to say I lived in Wood Green in 1999 and the speciality of the local coppers was to tell you to fuck off and not give answers at all (my crime? Wanting to walk down a road towards Tottenham!) and strong arm tactics, so not really surprised. The area is weird though...but it seems to be spreading. *sigh*) I did say end of last year on Twitter that 2011 was the year of protest and riot...scarily correct in that assertion, really. If you need me I'll be behind the door with a baseball bat. Oh and ver Kids really should listen to ver Bragg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featureplayer_embedded&viNcygbTNJyE Up in the morning and out to school Mother says there'll be no work next year Qualifications once the Golden Rule Are now just pieces of paper Just because you're better than me Doesn't mean I'm lazy Just because I dress like this Doesn't mean I'm a communist The factories are closing and the army's full - I don't know what I'm going to do But I've come to see in the Land of the Free There's only a future for the Chosen Few At twenty one you're on top of the scrapheap At sixteen you were top of the class All they taught you at school Was how to be a good worker The system has failed you, don't fail yourself Just because you're better than me Doesn't mean I'm lazy Just because you're going forwards Doesn't mean I'm going backwards
