I do like what the song's trying to get across. But I feel that at the end of the video, when all the young people pick up brooms and sweep stuff up, it's almost admitting "Not all young people are bad because not all young people rioted", when most of the people that rioted were good people, just going about getting their anger out in a confused way.
@rustymcnally Doing it in a 'confused way' doesn't inspire me to DEFEND it, simply to UNDERSTAND it. From the moment riot clean up happened, ALL sides of the political spectrum tried to claim it or bash it. It was sickening. I'm against demonising PEOPLE which is the point of the video. Once you use words to seperate yourslef from members of society it's dangerous. While I can see political and social reasons for the riots, I wouldn't personally defend anyone smashing up shops etc.
@rustymcnally There really isn't enough characters to do this justice. If you'd really like an explanation / discussion I can do it on my blog. Email me on barney@sonicboomsix.co.uk Safe x
@pRaIrVkEoRur No one said they were. I didn't even suggest that. If that's what you got out of that, that's what you got but that's not what I said or meant.
@SB6Manchester Ahh, appologies that I missunderstood then! Like, I think government is responsible for essentially everything, but I still think we can judge individuals for the choices they make. Btw, your music is awesome :)
@DangerousMoz Sure, ones that choose a culture of violence and agression. I refuse to say that someone has inherent value just because they conform to the criterea of 'human'. Our actions are a better criterea of judgement than the accident of birth don't you think?

I think it's silly to swap one extreem for another. Government is awfull, true, but chavs definatley aren't missunderstood heroes either.

@pRaIrVkEoRur Totally agree mate, thanks! My point was really, in context, about the nature of blame.

@pRaIrVkEoRur no, "Chavs" are people, same as the rest of us.

a world with only one culture and one frame of cultural reference would be like eating only one meal for the rest of your life, and a shit one at that
and personally i like my food in plentiful variation
long live multiculturalism!
