London Riots

Do you think people check sizes when looting clothing? You know you have a bad business concept when it can't even get looted in London.

I also want to comment on how much better the BBC news is compared to ours. By now, we'd have 20 pundits talking about who's the blame, and giving their political views on the situation.

Yup, we would have Fox blaming Obama and MSNBC blaming G.W. Bush. And they probably wouldn't report much on what was happening.

I like what Uncle Jimbo has to say on the topic:

London is burning and the search is on for a way to avoid the bleedingly obvious, the welfare state has created a class off looters and moochers. (http://www.blackfive.net/main/2011/08/the-progeny-of-a-welfare-state.html)

May even be deserving of a separate thread....

And on another positive note:

Just hours after thugs left cars and buildings burning and streets littered with shop-window glass, thousands of volunteers from London to Manchester have turned out with to reclaim their streets.Broom army: Hundreds of residents turned out in a rainy Manchester centre to clean up their city


The negative side to a positive note:

Lol!

This is ridiculous with the American media. No live coverage of Vancouver and no live coverage of London. I guess someone has to riot outside the CNN or Fox News studio to encourage American outlets to cover crap other then American Idol ratings and JLo's divorce.

Heck even BBC America didn't switch up their programming during the riots.

Jlo's divorced? oh no... i mean... oh yes!
