What is going on?
I have been an anarchist, philosophically, all my life. But I am not a nihilist. This looks like nihilism. If that is what is going on in our cities, why has no one noticed enough to write about it.
I can only assume it is because the media are run by the rich conservatives on agendas that have little or no relation to the lives and needs of the ordinary people.
I find myself feeling like an old conservative myself, demanding special forces to smash one of these groups of rioters to show the rest that they cannot get away with this.
If something like that does not happen I can see it getting worse; much worse.
Darcus Howe is brought on as a voice of the rioters and accused of being a rioter himself by the BBC. He seems to think it is racial oppression again. I am not so sure.
Already it is not just Tottenham and other historical riot spots. Even the police killing is not enough of an excuse.
Ealing is comparatively rich and affluent.
The time the Prime Minister is supposed to speak this morning keeps being put back.
Indecision and dither instead of decisiveness there then.
I shall post and watch to see if he comes on the air at the third time of asking or rather offering.
