| Bt the look of things some of these rioters are well educated. Maybe they need to be locked up until they have written 5000 words on "what ever made you risk mucking up the rest of your life with a criminal conviction". But going back to the original point does Cllr Govindia have the right to say he will evict the parent of a looter. He cannot evict a home owner who lives in Wandsworth. This is all about power and the "higher up" some people are the more they think they have a right to hurt people and the further down people are the more they get hurt. If I, or anyone else, objects to this we should not be accused of having chips on our shoulders. Grudges can be good if they save you from being a whimpy doormat. Starkey was paid by the BBC to cause a stir and he did. Very apposite name. The programme was about a book called "Chav" by Owen Jones. I have only read the Amazon site and in this Carol Midgley of the Times and Polly Toynbee of the Guardian give very interesting reviews. This is not the first book of its kind. Michael Collins wrote "The Likes of Us" which is also very supportive of the working classes. The fact of the matter is that Cllr Govindia is hoping to kick a working class mother out of her home but is it really because her son looted (allegedly) or is it because the toriers say that her flat is worth £225,000.00. Well, actually, no it is not. Not whilst it has a sitting tenant in it. This eviction is just about ethnic cleansing of the poor out of Battersea and I will say it again, Cllr Govindia came here because he was ethnically cleansed out of Uganda and he came here to get CHARITY which I do not begrudge him. Another book some people might like to read is Alone in Berlin by Hans Fallada which is horribly long and horribly dismal but warns us all about what can happen if bullies take the helm |
