Eric Ayoola 

For once I disagree with you.  Are you saying they should be shooting and killing people like some 'third world' country will do?  Why is the UK, France, USA and co in Libya?  Is it not for the same reason that the govt there is suppressing its own people's 'protests'?  Why is it okay to protest violently in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Syria, and not in Europe?

I think what is up is that the lies are coming out.  Some of us warned them when they started pontificating about Africa.  Indeed many societies in Africa are much better than these European societies which have largely ridden to prominence and dominance, on the tears, sweat and bloods of the peoples of African nations (I admit our own ignorance and stupidity too, which is still ongoing).  

When these protests started in Tottenham, they said it was a black thing. The guy that was killed was  Jamo (Jamaican) guy. WWII was triggered by this kind of violence too, occasioned by the killing of Marinus Van der Lubbe.  Hitler used the opportunity of dealing with the Communists to start a pogrom against the Jews in 1933, dovetailing into a World War later.  I saw several postings on BBC and other websites, where people came out of the closets and started abusing NIGGERS and asking foreigners to return to their countries.  So much for modernity and political correctness, it seems we are all still savages at heart.

But it quickly morphed.  There is anger in the land.  There is poverty, serious poverty in the UK.  There is an ever-present air of despondency and hopelessness.  I lived there in 05/06 and was depressed for most of that time.  I know what it is like. People take to alcohol.  The pubs are the thriving businesses.  Football is thrown in the mix to make people forget their problems.  But for only a while.  In fact people spend the little they have on alchy and supporting their teams.  It is a silly life through and through.  People are quite snobbish, minding their own businesses, but the furnace in the minds of people have been seething, and have now burst into the open.  We should have known.  The last mass protest organised in Central London, easily dissolved into a looting spree, with protesters entering restaurants and fast food joints.  Even the Ritz at Green Park Station was not spared.

So in quick succession, we have seen the Turkiyes of Haringay on the streets.  They own Wood Green area.  They are not fighting the blacks but the state.  We have seen the Indians and Pakies of Walthamstow come out in great anger.  Birmingham too, with the large immigrant population.  In Liverpool, English (Liverpudians), have joined in expressing their frustration.  The one that freaked me out was when I saw the Hasidian Jews who dominate Stamford Hill in London, confronting the police in their Jewish garb, skirts and hats all intact!  Jews?!  I thought they had all the money?  So Jews are broke these days too!!?  Wow...

The UK has a serious problem on its hands.  So also does the USA.  In Europe, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, in fact the whole shebang is in trouble.  Serious social and economic trouble.  The age of lies is petering out.  The mass media will not be able to save them this time.  And even when calm returns - as it will soon - the poor people have seen that they could discard the illusive toga of being 'first world citizens' - who barely survive from hand to mouth - and take to the streets to show to the whole world that their govts have been living a lie, prosecuting wars abroad at great cost, while the aristocrats pocket even the proceeds of those wars.

What is at stake is the total cremation of Capitalism.  The process whereby a few people continue to acquire and acquire, is one of the greatest frauds ever invented.  The 'invisible hand' which we were promised will 'redistribute' wealth once the rich have made it, has failed dismally.  In fact, it is called 'invisible', simply because it doesnt exist.  So also the social order based on snobbery and self-centredness, has unravelled.  At least we have some of that left in Africa.  It is called social capital, and it is measured by how long a person could survive without money, if dropped in any city, from the skies.  In Africa here, there are people who survive of food they gather from 'owambe' parties, and their skins are glowing.  Apart from that, anybody from your village is your 'brother' - ask the Igbo people - and could generally branch in your office on his way to Kaduna, just to 'greet' his brother.  Woe betide you if you dont find him 'something'.  In Europe, everybody works on a budget, and many people die in their rooms, or in the open where they sleep, with no one caring a hoot!

It is therefore high time for us to elevate and reexamine our current social and economic systems, and see if there are a few things we can lend Europe as to how systems should be run, not to acquiesce and kowtow to their shenanigans and accept that our systems are inferior through and through.  Much less, we should never egg them on to start brutalising and by extension, killing their people, in the name of ensuring peace; the peace of the graveyard none the less...

Have a great day.  And stay out of the trouble spots.

I fully blame Boris Johnson, David Cameron and Nick Clegg and the whole leadership of the coalition government for their soft and non-chalant approach to the situation. Why are we not calling the army in? Why are the police using ineffectual batons and shields? What about using water canons, rubber bullets, CS gas, taser guns etc etc. This soft approach is crazy, it is irrational and it is non-intelligent. These people are animal, they ar criminals and they should be treated as such. The copy cat criminality will continue all across England, indeed the UK, if this soft approach is carried out.

And they want to cut police number.

Cameron, Clegg and Boris all ought to resign.
Eric Ayoola.
