“...rabble-rousing and ultimately silly English punk group, The Clash, recorded its stirring riot-anthem, “The Guns of Brixton.”
-
I found 3 Clash songs in my audio files, and that ain’t one of ‘em.
I found it on youtube and I understand why not.

Are these rioting yutes primarily blacks, mooselimbs, whites or what. I haven't been paying much attention to U.K. riots lately.

(Please don't say, "Amish", that's starting to get stale).

The soccer hooligan's favorite sport: boxing a few ears. Yep, when you're tired of the old lady's nagging, watching telly, biffing the young'uns, and shy a few quid for the off-license...a bloke needs a little excitement in his life, and the riots are made-to-order. Here is Theodore Dalrymple's explanation of the thug's life and the women who love him:

One reason for the epidemic of self-destructiveness that has struck British, if not the whole of Western, society, is the avoidance of boredom. For people who have no transcendent purpose to their lives and cannot invent one through contributing to a cultural tradition (for example), in other words who have no religious beliefs and no intellectual interests to stimulate them, self-destruction and the creation of destructive crises in their life is one way of warding off meaninglessness. I have noticed, for example, that women who frequent bad men - that is to say men who are obviously unreliable, drunken, drug-addicted, criminal, or violent, or all of them together, have often had experience of decent men who treat them well, with respect, and so forth: they are the ones with whom their relationships lasted the shortest time, because they were bored by decency. Without religion or culture, evil is very attractive. It is not boring.

Thugs. I like saying that word. Thugs. The reasons for the riots in Britain have nothing to do with anything, except thugs out for a rant. Well done, thugs.

“Today’s Swinging-a-club London has been wracked by inbred street criminals with a sense of entitlement.”

Coming soon to the USA. We’re already seeing the early stages of this in cities across the country over the past few months. Intense “cultural” and economic forces at work that are going to manifest themselves as mob induced violent rampages. It’s going to be a lot more intense than most people think IMO.
