What will be overlooked is the main reason why the riots took place and what motivated the mob mentality. These rioters are the children of the State. Raised by parents on welfare, housed by councils, schooled by government run schools, healed by socialised healthcare and completing the cycle by graduating to the dole queues. The welfare is funded by the very people that these rioters attacked; the hard working taxpayers in this country.

The Welfare State is the cause of the inequality people seem to be rallying against. But no one will mention it. We have one part of the population (taxpayers) made to serve the 6 million people on benefits, yet what this article is suggesting is that its not the fault of the rioters, its the fault of the taxpayers. The taxpayers should be handing over even more to make things more equal!

Frankly, I don’t think its fair or equal that the taxpayer is made the servant of these people. As long as Britian maintains it status as a Welfare State, the cycle of dependency will continue. London has had riots in 1958, 1981 and 1985. We can add the riots of 2011 to that list.

Please do debate my post because it’s actually on the subject matter and it’s not a Spartist rant about my pet subject.

So, go on, do it.

As I said – it is ironic that many of the people who say they believe strongly in social responsibility, hard work and not milking tax payers are often the last ones to criticise such behaviour by the super rich.

I guess there are still many people who aren’t ready to wake up to the fact that they’re being taken for a ride by the very people they’ve been looking up to.

How utterly moronic to make this an issue for the “rich”. The richest 10% pay over 40% of all income tax and have some of the highest tax-rates placed on them in the G20.

They don’t break the law, they provide for their families without need or recourse to the State.

You are another leftie that seems to have removed the word ‘morality’ from their lexicon and if you think that you solely have the answer by giving these people more taxpayer’s money – you haven’t got a clue.

Knowing right from wrong costs nothing.
