"This is the uprising of the working class. We're redistributing the wealth," said Bryn Phillips, a 28-year-old self-described anarchist, as young people emerged from the store with chocolate bars and ice cream cones. (Full article at link.)

America England has a permanent welfare-class, mostly black white, which is very resentful of immigrants and anyone with a bit of ambition (birthplace of the football soccer louts). They also have an agressive, isolated muslim community (birthplace of homegrown jihadists). The two groups hate each other with a passion. Sandwiched in-between are the law-abiding working class anglos and the hard working, entrepreneurial immigrants, who are scared of both groups. Recipe for disaster.

The palace has actual armed guards who will kill them if they try it.

Those shiny guys on horses? They drive AFVs and carry assault rifles when they’re in their “working clothes.”

The Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters) aren’t pushovers, either.

The Tea Party doesn’t riot.
They are not violent.
They don’t even use harsh language (much).
When they have rallies or protests, they clean up after themselves, leaving the area cleaner that whey they started.

If the Tea Party ever does get violent, it won’t be a riot.

You are correct.

It is not clear where the ‘tea party’ quote came from.

Please accept my apologies.

"This is the uprising of the working class. We're redistributing the wealth," said Bryn Phillips, a 28-year-old self-described anarchist

Anybody want to take bets on how much work Mr. Phillips has done in his life?

In classical Marxist economics the working class are those who are exploited for the benefit of the owners, with the value of their production essentially stolen from them for the benefit of others.

Somehow the term has morphed into applying, in both UK and US, to economic parasites who produce little but crime and illegitimate babies. They are supported in their lifestyle by value expropriated forcibly from those who actually continue to work.

Phillips claimed rioters were motivated by distrust of the police, and drew a link between the rage on London's street and insurgent right-wing politics in the United States. "In America you have the tea party, in England you've got this," he said.

Actually, he's got a point.

UK people upset with the government riot and burn.

US people upset with the government peaceably protest and vote.

Tells us volumes about the relative values of the two societies.

One of the comments at the Daily Mail article on last night’s riots said, “30,000 police on the streets for the royal wedding, 6,000 last night to protect the citizens of London from rioters and they wonder what we’re angry.”
