Bloody Hell, just a Sherk in a Fock! the lot of you!

(Shrek in a Frock -  British Slang term from one of their famous exports, Mr. Gordon Ramsay. Simply translated it means someone who is acting out of control and being loud and obnoxious - screaming and shouting)

The british government seem to be twiddling their thumbs saying woops what do we do now.
Mean while the police are unleashing suppressed anger






And most of the world like the roitors dont really understand what is happening just that it is happening.And comedians are having a blast:

AND everyone looks a little shocked that civilised Westerners have degraded them selves to roiting and looting:

But there is really no suprise or shock.
How long do they really think people would just sit back and take it for?

People have always protested and fought for what they beleive is best. But only when peole are ignored, belittled, under valued, and not taken serious then things start to get out of control.
did everyone note that thess riots actually stated from a protest. A way that people for years have made there problem visible and literately a 'scene'. Until a man was shoot and it became clearer, they really don't care.

I read a fabulous article by a law teacher at Waikato University. I didn't agree with all of it, but he does shed some light on the underlying issues no one want to talk about. ( burning buildings, fighting rioters and police make better new items). worth a read.

"Every generation likes to riot or react against the status quo. It almost seems an innate human characteristic.
The question is why do they revolt?
The peoples of Egypt, Libya and Syria are fighting to throw off tyrants.
These are revolutions based upon identity as citizens, under the mantra of freedom.
The temptation will be for those who are currently wearing the mask of liberators, once they have achieved regime change, not to seize the reigns of power for themselves.
To align the principle of freedom with the values of equality, liberty and the rule of law is a process which took the Western world 200 years to achieve since the onset of our Enlightenment......
The difference now is that the riots in the West are more about identity as consumers than the riots and revolutions of the past, which were about identity as citizens.
The shallowness of those who already possess the rights and liberties that others are fighting for is even displayed in New Zealand where we prefer to give more of our attention to our identity as consumers and the price of a rugby jersey than our identity as citizens and the fact that many of the children in this country, which provides food for the world, are too hungry to function in schools."

I did a quick survey of my facebook friends to see who would riot, why and would they loot (in the context of home countries).
Every person under 50 basically said they wouldnt never riot or loot because it is voilent, its just plain stealing and they just couldnt come up with a reason we would ever need to. But everyone would protest which was what orignaally the london roits were, funny that.
but then came my Nana a very vise profound person and commented this: "We all think we are "real cool" can stand back ,not be involved BUT in certain circumstances we have a button which can be activated in a flash, we identify with a cause, injustice,inequality, whatever ! and we are part of it. A crowd with a purpose becomes a living, moving mass, without thought of consequences,the thrust coming from people who are free to circulate, gathering momentum as excitement grows others join in. There were always two of us ."

EVERYBODY fits into this category.
When group becomes a living moving mass, when it becomes unified. it only take something to happened to ONE person for the mass to react. Like the the young man who got shot and sent this mass into an uncontrolable frenzy.

We are not immuned to it. New Zealand also has a widening gap between the poor and rich. We have Brown Poverty which is aparently a bomb ready to blow!.
So what do you think NZ next in line for out of control masses?
