    Right, it looks like at least in London things a little steadier now.
    On the aftermath I am still surprised that some people justify the act of those filthy thieves and brainless vandals.

    I give a shit about how looters feel and I have no sympathy for them. I will invite any of you that call a council estate a 'ghetto' to visit "La Rosinha" in Brazil or Fuerte Apache or Ciudad Oculta in Argentina for a reality check.

    In Tottenham they DO have:
    + free housing
    + running water
    + food paid for (aka allowances... Britain is big on these, specially if you are from a so called neglected minority).

    Most of these kids wanting some justice have a better phone that I have. I mean, I had to save for 3 years to buy my first laptop! How come? just for being a British you are entitled to some bling? I think the part where 'working to earn your means' kicks in was forgotten.

    And don't give me any bullshit about crisis. I survived to countries were more than half the population was unemployed or sub-employed, and found a way around. Instead of sitting on my ass complaining and go rioting to have a larger TV, I worked my ass off to earn qualifications, learned more languages and emigrated.

    I don't think these kids realise how fucking easy they had it. I could easily do without that kind of scum.
