Riots, riots everywhere in England, possibility of spreading further inland into small towns and cities. But as of now Wales and Scotland have remained calm, excluding the ever present and ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland about which I should be writing shortly in my blog. Coming back to the current riots in London and elsewhere, it does not seem to be settling down, sporadic riots is ongoing since the past four days.
What could be the reason for such a large scale spontaneous riots in different parts of England. The shooting of a young man by police cannot be the only reason. Looking at the pictures on TV the rioters are made up of overwhelmingly White youth, as previously such riots were blamed on the minority communities like Blacks and Asians. So what has changed in today's Britain, it is a welfare state as before, what welfare state means is everything is free in the UK i.e Education, Health care etc and if you are unemployed then the government will pay money to you till u find a job, if disabled then again benefit is given, single mother has more benefits then anyone else including money for childcare and a free council house., if you don't have a place to live then the council will provide it. So in simple words your care is taken by the government if you are a British citizen. The basic needs of Roti(Food), Kapada(clothing) and Makaan(housing) is being looked after, so you don't have to struggle or worry about the basic needs as you do in countries like India.
So why riot then?, its the strict measures taken to curb misuse of benefits and the growth of White Ghettos, with large number of families having just on parent, mostly single women with several children from several different partners, leading to a generation of teenagers who have taken to the streets and their benefit seeking mothers and fathers being their role models, they themselves have taken to a life of crime and drugs. Interesting to note is these people are mostly White Caucasians rather then men of minority communities. They have taken to drinking alcohol big time, a one litre bottle of Cider is cheaper then a liter bottle of mineral water in the supermarkets. Binge drinking, casual sex and no intention to work has led to the current situation, the youngsters mostly have looted the stores looking for latest gadgets.
So in conclusion God save the Queen and her once mighty Britain. If things are let go as it is then Britain is destined to be doomed. The attitude of the youths towards life, the culture of binge drinking should be changed sooner or later.
