But a 23-year-old council worker, who had just been evacuated from Hackney town hall due to fears of further rioting, said he was concerned tensions between communities could increase.
"It is just going to make matters worse. I would hate to see this turn into a generational or racial battle."
It may not be as nuanced and polished as an official ruling class document would have read, but the guy is 23 years old, so give him a break.
Defending your property is only going to make matters worse and could lead to racial and generational conflict.
Things will be better if you just let the "youths" have their way. Got it? < / sarcasm >
Too late. By its very nature, Socialism is a generational curse.
As Lady Thatcher once said, "The problem with Socialism is that, eventually, you run out of other people's money."
The racial component is added in simply as a diversion. Socialism cannot survive without scapegoats.
A 23-year-old council worker (job unspecified) would, I suspect, be more than somewhat startled to find himself described as a member of the ‘official ruling class’.
Is that the British version of “Lay back and enjoy it”?
