The political correctness needs to stop.
The scum are able to hide behind it and get away with murder, literally.
The police are powerless right now, they are criticised for standing off because it's not stopping it. If they moved in and really dealt with these morons in the proper way (rubber bullets, kettling and more riot tactics), they'd be abused by the middle class liberals and the inner city scum that dislike the police and think they're all corrupt thugs.
They cannot win.
I pity the police right now and I am ashamed that this country has come to this.
It's things like these that should show you that organisations like the EDL are not as bad as the lefty media portray them to be.
It's going to get worse and an awful lot of it is a racial issue.
This entire thing stemmed from predominantly black gangs in the Tottenham area. Based on live pictures more than half of those youths involved in all of this nonsense are ethnic minorities. There is clearly an issue here and it is incredibly risky to ignore it for as long as we have done in the name of political correctness.
People on this very forum are jumping on any little comment and calling people racists. Yes, some are crossing the line, but most aren't and yet they're still being branded racists. This exact attitude is contributing to the mess we are in now.
The police have already been called racists on the news today and they've literally done nothing but stand there passively as mostly youths are throwing bricks in their faces, chairs, planks of wood, bottles and more.
The Guardian are using this to moan about the government and cuts, like the youths are standing up for us all and we should bring Labour back etc. It's ridiculous that they say this and just another example of how far we have fallen. The police that these youths are abusing are facing cuts just as large as any other part of the public sector, yet they are out there, doing their jobs to the best of their ability, facing life threatening situations hour after hour with minimal rest periods. They are heroes, not villains.
The youths are costing the country millions upon millions right now, mostly tax payers will foot the bill here, our insurance premiums will go up, our communities are being destroyed. This has nothing to do with cuts, police oppression or any other political nonsense.
This is ridiculous and over the top violent disorder by lawless youth who have no respect for society, other people or even themselves in many cases.
