the link's all over twitter, so you might have read it, but Peter Oborne, despite himself, writes some good articles. Not earth shattering, but hard to disagree with,
- first time since this thing started that I read something that makes at least some sense.maikel
- Thanks, F_B.detritus
- beautifully written. sadly the culture of greed is part of western philosophy. As an american, our royals are movie stars and 2nd generation rich idots (so says the TV and tabloids). It's a sad state of affairs.brandonp

@fadein11
MATE, I often tend to disagree with you, but that's fine. Not that I mind much.Are you all for the rioters and such? How do you like you flat roasted? Medium rare or well done?
Are any of my comments offending you? Maybe you are a Gangsta from a council estate, or an 'artist' (let's say bum) living in a squat with a deluded illusion of reality which thinks that committing criminal acts (not as in smoking a joint but as in burning somebody else's home) is fine. Or perhaps you listened way too many punk bands saying let's fuck the police, where, in reality, you never had a problem with the old bill.
I do my nine to five and pay taxes - maybe that offends you.
I know that under the copper's riot gear there is bloke who probably isn't very happy about being there. Do that upset you?So what is it, fadein11 my friend that makes you think I'm from 50's America?

Malaysian student robbed in London by Good Samaritans gets stolen PSP replaced and £4,000 is raised for him
:)
Ashraf Haziq had a broken jaw and was missing some teeth and had his mobile phone and wallet stolen by yobs posing as Good Samaritans.
"I was cycling with another student to visit a friend when a gang of about 20 came towards me. I think some had knives. The youngest looked like he was primary school age. They came in a group, they didn't attack at first, they wanted the bicycle.
"And then there was someone who put a hand in my pocket to take my phone. He pulled the bicycle and I don't know what happened, I fell, and my mouth was bleeding.
The incident was filmed and then footage posted online.
It prompted widespread anger and the British Prime Minister David Cameron said the incident on Monday night left him "disgusted".
Doctors had put metal in his jaw which was broken in the incident.
PlayStation UK, offered to give the student a new PSP and games.
Haziq even plans to remain in Britain to finish his study despite his horrific ordeal and family pleas for him to return home.
"Britain is great. Before I came here I was very eager and I haven't got any ill-feeling about what happened.
"I feel very sorry for the people who did this. It was really sad because among them were children."
Asyraf, who lives in Barking, East London, has been in Britain only a month after coming to study accountancy.
He is one of eight students on a Malaysian government-backed scheme.
But his family still had to save for years and borrow money to fund his dream.

trying to understand why the situation isn't justifying crimes.
you really are coming across like a tabloid simpleton.
- sorry boss, you are overcomplicating things. Britain is no place to talk about oppression.maikel
- People steal because they can, and because they are uneducated... hate to say it but I find not much hope...maikel
- if you brandish violence and looting as a way of express freedom, certainly is not the kind of freedom I'd fight formaikel

Oh yeah. Here we go. Some in-depth cultural analysis here. Short attention spans be warned...this written piece only starts picking up steam at about 6 paragraphs in (the horror!). Of course everyone's got a right to their opinion, just try getting through the entire piece before firing off darts and arrows:
