UK Riots: young, ethnic, criminal, uneducated underclass to blame.

[silverlining]

46% ethnic, 76% criminal convictions, 40% claiming benefits, 33% excluded from schools, 90% lacked even the most basic educational qualifications.

 

Durr, really?

 

So, as most if us knew, it was no social movement or protest.

 

It was mainly a load of illiterate, feral scum underclass nicking consumer products because they could.

 

The watercannons and tear gas should have been cracked out on day one.

In fact, the police should use the Kercher water cannons. The entire Kercher range comes with soap reservoirs, where you can add patio cleaner, car shampoo, Radox, Head and Shoulders, any of that stuff. It would be a win win. At least if your shop gets ransacked you're not going to have to put up with the rank odour as well.

Patio cleaner?

[stringvest]

Patio cleaner?

 

it's a product quite distinct from it's brothers, garden path cleaner, moss guard and brickwork renovator. I believe the entire Kercher range is compatible with those products too.

And your statistics came from which source?

[Paulie Dangerously]

The University of Truefacts

 

Heard this on the radio the other day actually. No great surprise from looking at the FUBU thugs at the time. Their collective IQs probably don't add up to much more than a bag of Tesco value basmalti rice

[stringvest]

And your statistics came from which source?

 

The Kercher website.

Out of interest, how does everyone pronounce this? Most of my mates say 'pa-ti-o' sort of like Matteo with a P, I say it more like 'ratio' with a P... who's in the right here?

I'm not saying you are wrong, but your mates are definitely right.

The Swedish pronounce it as hoedstayndink.

Much like yourself, I'm not surprised about those stats. Surely you have to ask though, why does the UK have such an underclass? Why are 7 million people functionally illiterate? Why do so many lack basic educational qualifications? Why are so many excluded from school? Why are those on benefits stealing?

 

When you look at social democratic policies in other countries and compare their society with ours it goes some way to telling us the answer don't you think? Much higher unionisation, teachers given more autonomy and responsibility to develop their own curriculums (which don't revolve around rote memory/obedience), restorative justice, egalitarian welfare state, etc.

If it's pronounced pa-ti-o why isn't it spelt p-a-t-t-e-o?

[brucespanner]

If it's pronounced pa-ti-o why isn't it spelt p-a-t-t-e-o?

 

From the French inflection on the I.

 

Like most of our words it finds its origins in the romantic languages.

[TheResonator]

So why isn't 'ratio' pronounced 'ra-ti-o' then?

[brucespanner]

So why isn't 'ratio' pronounced 'ra-ti-o' then?

 

Greek, different alphabet and grammatical rules, which we basterdised.

It's a sad day when we've got an Aussie lecturing people on the use of the English language.

Inevitable side-effect of the way our welfare state is set up, isn't it. Why bother expending any effort when the state will supply you with everything you need to survive from other people's effort? And at lower levels of pay, it's scarcely worth working because of the benefits you'll lose. Consequently you have an entire generation with no work ethic, which believes it has a right to be kept by the productive majority.

[mattyq]

Straight from Central Office, SD. Dave will be so happy.

I kind of agree with you but it's only part of the picture, innit. No mention of massive discrepancies in weath, health and education and nothing about he complete lack of opportunity for the underclass.

A lot of them are vermin but they know nothing else and certainly have never been given the opportunity to stop being scum

[Mustangt125]

That's what you get in the welfare state. Young people that expect to be completely taken care of and I hope we steer clear from that in the US.

Don't agree with this. The welfare state has been around since the Beveridge report. Post world war 2 employment is much better than employment now when we had the welfare state so I doubt the welfare state has caused this underclass. Also, Swedish society creates more equality through greater distribution of taxes and benefits. It goes further than the British model and I don't think you'd find such a class there. Unfortunately, I think things have gone tits up since the 80s thanks to you know who and neoliberalism in general. As another poster said the 'scum' don't know any better. Taking away welfare won't help it'll just lead to crime. Society has to intervene to readdress the balance. Regarding education, I think schemes like this are the way forward...

Yeah it's boss growing up on a council estate, and of course your average state benefit affords you a wonderful lifestyle, in fact many of them like to go skiing in Gstaad. I don't imagine there's anyone out there on the dole who'd rather be working or living in a nice gaff.
