I've come to realise of late that I have had some trouble getting the more nitpicky definitions of certain terminolgy straight in my head.
"Political Protesters" are burning shit that sits on land underneath which are found vast oil supplies, gold mines, diamonds or rare earth minerals, which are currently under the control of a politician or politicians who won't pander to the whims of the IMF and S&P.
And rioters are burning shit in areas in which the London and International Olympic Committees wish soon to see a load of well heeled, ticket holding tourists accommodated in stylishly appointed medium density housing which will lend itself nicely to "gentrification" type schemes after the event.
Silly me.
And here I thought a lot of educationally and socially disadvantaged people had got sick of watching the neighbours gunned down in cold blood by a violent and inherently corrupt Police Force. And lacking the luxury of an erudite and literate leadership (or any leadership at all in fact) which might express their justified anger in words to the general public (which may in turn have taken enough note of it to ask that the Met make at least a show of investigating the shooting) they acted out in self destructive and powerless rage. ie: They smashed some shit up.
Which at first small scale smashing of shit, the authorities deliberately allowed to escalate into utter chaos and then degenerate into a frenzy of looting by opportunistic criminal elements (and quite possibly agent provocatuers).
Of course it had to be done. Unpleasant though it may look. This is a necessary first step in the all important Pauper Relocation Program, so essential for the smooth progress of preparations for the world's biggest (and most profitable) sports carnival next year.
A brilliant scheme in fact. Conceived of by the geniuses in the Property Development Sector and the Olympics Administration, engineered by the social policies of a morally bankrupt coalition govt and orchestrated by their jack booted and murderously inclined lackeys in the London Constabulary.
You watch them clean out Stratford et. al after the smoke has cleared. There won't be a Council Estate left in inner London with it's residents unscattered to the far corners of England.
It's a GEOPOLITICAL fucking issue, innit? Location. location, location is all that matters to the definition of such esoteric labels as "Political Protester" or "Social Justice Campaigner" ....and the more pedestrian "Rioter"....aka "violent little gobshite".
Silly me.
Check that first link...they knew...the cunts knew it was about to go tits up..."Something may happen around 7pm"...yeah...that's what it said on Blackberry Messaging as the call went out to come and party...Guy Fawkes Night has come early. Parades and bonfires in the street.
They weren't exactly surrepfuckingtitious about their plans.
.....so why weren't the Filth waiting in force to quell it?
No... they granted all the riot squad boys a reprieve...and forbade the fire brigade to enter the worst affected areas.
They wanted it to happen. Risk to life and property was not their primary concern, it would seem. The need for a swift demolition phase to an urban renewal program would appear to have taken precedence over any sort of lily livered bleeding heart preoccupations with protecting the populace.
