Update: sirens goin off in distance i think its more a precaution than any trouble. The riots seem to be calming down but the shops are all still boarded up just to be on the safe side. Hopefully it is all over and we can resume normal life.
Also i would like to submit my view on the "race blame game" I work in Birmingham city center and i have seen riots and the people in them. it is a fair mix of whites, blacks, asians, young and old. It is definately not the majority black as you say in the two posts above mine. Unless you have been there please dont assume anything even if you feel you have seen more blacks on the news the news appears to be slightly biased so it is unfair to assume such things. Please if you have stories to tell please do but dont go blaming people or groups of people on this thread as i dont want some race battle going on.
I do not want any group blamed on the news either especially youths as not all of them are youths and only a tiny percentage of all teenagers are in the riots. On fb i have around 300 friends and not a single one are in the riots and most of my friends are youths. in fact most of them hate the people doing it.
I do like an idea going around on the e partician sites which is to cut all those who are caught's benefits. I would imagine most are on benefits and this would force them to finally get a job.
May i also point out that these people complained they were out of money for food, clothes etc yet how did they mainly communicate? BBM thats strange but wait... doesnt that mean they have blackberrys and have spent all their money on that instead? thses people need tto spend money wisely, stop rioting and get a job!
Ferrari it is ramadan isnt it? i thought that meant you cant swear!
BTW for those who dont know me i am white.
Wait... does this mean im not human?
