    Yeah, every year they run another race war, and only people like you can help them stop it. Start packing things and get off there, they need you!

    I am in Sweden actually, but I've been following the news in the UK. Friends say it's been really intensive.
    As I understand it, the riot started because police shot a man who was a minor gangster and happened to be mixed race.
    His friends and family went to protest but others tagged along and a riot started.
    Everything else that happened after that is just opportunism. Poor and stupid people think it's a laugh to paralyze society and they get the opportunity to loot stuff that they want, like electronic gadgets, computer consoles etc.
    They're not protesting against anything in particular, only that they don't have enough money to buy the stuff that they want.. It's the rule of the mob, really. There are quite big class differences in the UK and the people in the riots are at the bottom of society.

    There is very little problems with racism against black people (or anyone) in the UK. That is not the reason for this. There are so many immigrants and the UK has a very long history of being a colonial power. All the immigrants find their little niche in society and hardly anyone cares. The only thing people don't like is illegal immigrants/criminals from the middle east, or moslems who continue living like they were in a Pakistani village, even though they are in the UK.
