Another Oxfordshire Wedding. Good to witness something far removed from the recent riots

Overexposed in Denver
In England we see rage and malice in the faces. Here there is only resignation
The Story Listener
We are yet to hear the stories of the rage and despair of the people who rampaged through England last week
But the Government wants to punish first and listen maybe later

Sleeping Homeless Demo
looks like the pain of the world staring you in the face.
As you know, England went up in flames last week. I don't think any of us here will ever feel the same about England. Maybe the damage was done years ago, by Thatcher and her "no such thing as society", and then Blair, the leader as war criminal.
Either way, the people of many of our cities rebelled, for no better reason than to loot and burn our stores.
If you worship mammon, Pluto, he will take you to his underworld.

All His Worldly Possessions in a Cart
I guess things hot America before they hit us.
Our social security prevents most homelessness.
It also provides a disincentive to create useful lives
and simply makes for angry resentful ungrateful young people

Denver Keys to the City
and in London in the streets where I used to live we just have a culture of rap and violence.
It was a safe place to live forty years ago
there was a community spirit
Since then the schools where I worked were taken over by the Government after failing.
My step sons live there now, with their father
Joel already had to change schools after he was mugged by class mates.

Hackney burning
Living in Cameron land is not too threatening at least right now. My boys are in France for the summer, but they live a few hundred yards from the Hackney riots. Thirty years ago I lived there myself. My nephew now lives in a flat almost directly above the riots.
A young man of 22, he seems to have no connection to the young people who are looting and fire bombing. He felt both frightened and excited.
We may see him on Thursday. What else will have happened by then? What else does a 22 year old man think about this stuff?
