THE riots in London and elsewhere in Britain are a backhanded tribute to the long-term intellectual torpor, moral cowardice, incompetence and careerist opportunism of the British political and intellectual class.

The view from Australia, the writer used to live in Britain.

“Relatively poor as the rioting sector of society is, it nevertheless possesses all the electronic equipment necessary for the prosecution of the main business of life; that is to say, entertainment by popular culture. And what a culture British popular culture is!

Perhaps Amy Winehouse was its finest flower and its truest representative in her militant and ideological vulgarity, her stupid taste, her vile personal conduct and preposterous self-pity.

Her sordid life was a long bath in vomitus, literal and metaphorical, for which the exercise of her very minor talent was no excuse or explanation. Yet not a peep of dissent from our intelllectual class was heard after her near canonisation after her death, that class having long had the backbone of a mollusc.”

Communities use social media to take back the streets from mob as police get water cannons

24 hour notice for the British Police to get water cannons. Frankly, I don’t think the rioters have the patience to wait.

Read the article, the areas in the cities that didn’t burn, where the people came out to defend their homes, businesses and places of worship were the Arab, Asian, Indian and Turkish communities. Does this quote remind you of the English Yeoman of yore;

“Hundreds of people outside a Sikh temple in Southall, south London, stood shoulder to shoulder yesterday to defend their place of worship from young rioters.”

The Anglican houses of worship in England are empty these days (attendance at services 1.9%) , an entire generation has been raised without spiritual or moral guidance. No man without belief can stand before those filled with faith. The men without belief in Britain are the ruling class, the rioters were never educated but taught self-esteem and the majority of the immigrants hold strong belief systems and family ties. Come back in twenty years and how do you think this is going to play out?

Where are the Englishmen? Churchill weeps.
