“At 9.22 the Brixton shopping centre appeared almost calm by comparison to Railton Road. Rubbish was strewn across the main A23 Brixton Road; burglar alarms rang vainly from looted shops; and knots of youths, black and white, drifted along in the almost complete absence of police.” – ‘Eyewitness: Looters moved in as the flames spread’

Yesterday, 10 August our vainglorious pm announced that the communities from which it is alleged the ‘rioters and looters’ emanated from were “sick”. But more on who is really sick in our society later. In the meantime I’d like to pick up on an aspect of the state’s response (or apparent lack of) to the uprising that I referred to yesterday, namely my assertion that the forces of ‘law and order’ deliberately allowed fires to burn and shops to be looted, as it served to demonize the people involved as well as justifying the use of heavy firepower and a complete lockdown (which happened yesterday).

Ed Miliband, the Labour Leader in the Conservative-Labour Governmental Coalition, speaking in the UK Parliament on 11 August 2011.
“ Can I thank the Prime Minister for his statement (on the riots in Britain) and can I thank him for his decision to suggest to you, Mr Speaker, that Parliament was recalled.
Whatever we disagree on week by week, month by month, today we stand united, condemning the violence and vandalism we have seen on our streets.
The victims are the innocent people who live in many of our cities, who have seen their homes and businesses destroyed, their communities damaged and their confidence about their own safety undermined.
There can be no excuses, no justification. This behaviour has disgusted us all. It cannot be allowed to stand. We will not allow it to stand.
I want to join the Prime Minister in mourning the loss of life we have seen, including those killed in London and Birmingham. ”
And how many, amidst the general criminality of our ‘House of Commons’, are mourning the loss of life we have seen, including those thousands of innocent victims killed by the US-NATO-EU war machine in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya ?
There can be no excuses. There can be no justification.
How many of them are disgusted by it all ?
How many will still allow it to stand ?
