@MRaverz 'awsome' LMAO That's a new term to describe the Lib Dems. You must be the only person in the UK that actually believes that, well except the Lib Dem politicians of course. I understand there was only one real option, but that doesn't mean they have to vote on Tory policy, which they have on almost every key issue.
The next GE will decide if they have been 'awsome' or not, lol. I think we already know the answer.
@MRaverz OK, you keep believing that all you like. The Lib Dems have failed their supporters. The Scottish election on May 5th has shown their support has crumbled, the council elections in England and Wales had similar results. By the next GE they will be a non-entity once more, and you can put that down to them propping up a Tory govt.
@MRaverz 80% of the Lib Dem manifesto are now a reality? Would you care to highlight some of the more important ones? My point about the tuition fees is that Clegg vowed not to implement high tution fees. It was his grand stand policy in the lead up to the election, not an improved system but no further fees, and yet he and his party voted in favour of the Tory policy. They made it possible. There's no way you can tell me it is now better to pay £9000 p/a.
@MRaverz They're really doing a good job eh? They have voted FOR most Tory policies, not against. They have failed on almost everything they said they would stand up for. The biggest U-turn ever in regards to tution fees, one of the main reason people voted for them. They sold out for a stupid AV referendum which they didn't even campaign for. The Lib Dems are a waste of space, and are showing themselves as snakes. I'm glad people are seeing that.
Clegg take a bow? He got it spot on. He knew the Tories would do exactly that, and he knew people would be pissed off and start rioting, and yet he still joined a coalition with the bastards and has helped them put these policies through.
Shows how out of touch Cameron was that he thought it was "silly". Then the first thing he did was cut everything for the poor and try to sell off all public land to his rich landowner friends. This silver spoon tosser doesn't give a fuck about anyone but his rich friends.
@RichardElden But with a couple conservatives going rouge, maybe something would work... but if no one joined eachother, then no one would have a majority, what happens then? O_o
@RichardElden Fuck that! Fuck it!!!!! Of course there was! Coaless with Labour, then it would be two parties without enough votes! Then conservatives would have to join labour and labour would fuck us over in a nicer way! :)
I'm loving this! Labour spends too much, people are unhappy, they vote conservatives, Clegg dislikes tuition fee rises and believes riots will occur... Shouldn't have joined the conservatives then should ya? :/
A banker, a public sector worker, and a private sector worker were sitting in a cafe with a plate of 12 biscuits. The banker ate 11 then said to the private sector worker "Hey, that public sector guy wants half your biscuit!"
I love the video description. Ironically, despite being right about the riots and events actually proving the uploader quite wrong, Nick Clegg still is a piece of sh1t.
The thing is, Nick's comments about this were in relation to political issues and political protest. What we have seen on our streets recently was nothing to do with and cause or poltical protest. It was sheer opportunism, greed and crime - because the could, not for any poltically motivated reasons!
Tessa Jowell's comments seem so imperialstic in that video. Almost suggesting that poeple of Walthamstow and Britain are more politically and socially aware than the Greeks. Sad, but they all got proven wrong, apart from Clegg, who Ironically made the Tory power bid possible!
@Fraser J90 "OK, so all of this violence is a product of one year of government? Unlikely. These riots are a product of 10-15 years of previous government (i.e. labour). These deep set social problems are not made overnight." Try going back a bit further. To 1979 in fact. i.e. Thatcher.
HOW DARE THIS CRIMMINAL CARRY ON BEHIND OFFICE. THIS MAN HAS CUT THE PUBLIC SERVICES. HE AND THOSE BEFORE HIM HAVE PUT A STOP TO ALL THE RELIABLE INCOMES THIS COUNTRY ONCE HAD. NOW EDUCATION IS UTTERLY SHAMEFUL AND THIS IS THE RESULT YOU MADE MR MINISTER! WHEN A COUNTRY CANNOT MAKE ITS OWN MONEY EXCEPT BY THE FORTUNES IN TAXES YOU CUT DOWN ON THE THINGS WE NEED FOR A QUALITY OF LIFE. THUGS/YOUTHS WHO ARE NOT TAUGHT ANY BETTER BY THEIR OWN PARENTS/THE STATE SHOULD HAVE ATTACKED YOU! IT TAKES TWO!
@FrancescaSivyer It's not a generalization. The Brits depend on their govt. for almost everything in their lives. If you weren't so dependent on the govt. you wouldn't be rioting right now.
@littleseabass1974 AND may I add, the riots did not cover all of Britain, the riots were in England (although it's pointless me saying this as you probably won't know the difference - and yes, if you do know the difference then I am generalising). There were no riots in the rest of Britain, so even by saying 'the Brits' you are generalising. For someone nearly twice my age, it amazes me that you have half the ability to comprehend.
@FrancescaSivyer You've got so many different names for that pisser of an island I don't care what you call it. England, Britain, United Kingdom or We are the Country with Free Healthcare but Our Teeth are Still Jacked. Whatever. It's no different than you calling us Yanks, except that Yanks are only from the north. Did you know that?

I always had a gut feeling that in times of turmoil cleggs instincts would be the downfall of his supremacy above the liberal scum and what has he done ?? absolutely nothing. giving us reassurance that the cobra meetings were successful yet since these developments more and more innocent citizens are being physically harmed and killed. Clegg OUT !
talk about product placement how much are mcvities hob nobs paying him and sky news for that spot....shit i feel like goin out and looting oops i mean buying a pack of hob nobs.....
well i'm wheat intolerant but thats nothing compared to the verbal shit that flows from the mouths of these politricians
for fucks sake people its not the torys fault its the bloody retards who are bored out of their minds to the extent that they think its a good idea to trash up or brilliant country!
People u need to remember that this govement are maggies political descendants and don't give a Fuck about the working class . The rioting well shall we say is out of order when they destroying non commercial property and peoples homes, Fuck shops they insured .but This just plays into the conlibs hands and takes the spotlight off their thatcherised cuts on spending . Remember the 80s this gonna be worse Bcos there more self made millionaires now who won't and don't want pay more tax
We can't really pin this on any government. The riots have nothing to do with government cuts and thus joblessness. To be quite frankly stereotypical, those rioting are 17-21 year olds who are unemployed. You only need to see what they are wearing to realise why they are unemployed. I understand perfectly that I am stereotyping, but let's face it, it's true.
Sincerely, a 17 year old working two jobs to pay for uni. Thanks Clegg.
@BassDudeBear what about the primary school teacher caught looting or the adults in manchester handing bricks to others to throw at windows... i understand your point but they are not all young and not all unemployed. the problem is a mentality and attitude, not a government or an age group.
@codelocator Yes, Joe Blogs, aged 19 on Job Seekers cares about education cuts, he cares so much that soldiers in Afghanistan don't have the most secure vehicles to protect them from IED blasts. They care so much that they didn't go out and vote. They claim they can't get a job because there "are none". Would you like to employ the people throwing bricks in Birmingham and London? No, because the majority are yobs that are unemployable due to their attitude. But that's their excuse!
@BassDudeBear If all you have to aspire to is working in McDonalds, yet in one night you can steal more stuff that McDonalds pays in a month - it pretty understandable why they are looting.
The simple fact is that successive governments have failed young people in Britain - particular those from inner city deprived areas, are this is the result. the gap between the rich and the poor has been moving wider and wider in the last 20 years, and those left at the bottom have had enough.
I don't know why you're talking about soldiers? Bt of a tangent that. There aren't jobs for them whether they're unemployable or not, that's the truth, there just aren't jobs. There aren't jobs and there's even less space, no housing, forget it. A simple flat costs 250k in London. You need to earn what, 70k year just to get a mortgage on that and all the social housing is long gone. They all live in cramped family shitholes and see no way out.
"all this could be avoided if Nick Clegg ends up hobnobbing with the Tories in a coaltion"??????????? what exact;y have they done to slow down or curtail the tories? thanks for the warning over the VAT bombshell as well Clegg, you are the Cassandra of backstabbing cunts.
Tories or no Tories. The economic deterioration dates of a couple of decades now. Would be extremely ignorant to blame it on either party, all the while budget deficits hit new sky-high records every year.
Maybe a nice first step would be to focus cuts on the resources spent on killing harmless people overseas, like Iraq and Afghanistan. Better yet, as Dave Cameron proves to incredibly off-track on this one, maybe defer all surpassing issues to their Majesty, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
You've missed the point... that guy then went on to form a government with the Tories without a 'proper mandate', introduced 'slash and burn' cuts. And now look.
There are no words to describe how pathetic a specimen this cretin Clegg is. Cunt, wanker etc just aren't enough.If i was him I'd seriously kill myself.
hahaha i just love your swear words and as a 68 year old disabled senior citizen it is ok as ive heard it all before...this goverment WILL go as thats all part of the plan and i agree with you 100% well done
@kmburss OK, so all of this violence is a product of one year of government? Unlikely. These riots are a product of 10-15 years of previous government (i.e. labour). These deep set social problems are not made overnight.
@FraserJ90 Labour didn't help, choosing 'steady and sustainable' growth of the service/banking sector over equality and looking out for the working class, but New Labour were Thatcherite, and the social problems started under her leadership.
He sold the country down the river for a seat on the front bench. The Lib Dems want out but they haven't got an exit strategy; they would get slaughtered at the subsequent election. Cameron has stitched them up for a generation
Ha ha, if only they had listened to Nick "I predict a Riot" Clegg, instead of Theresa "I Don't Predict a Riot" May, who said in September 2010 (when announcing the shedding of 2000 police jobs) "The British public don't simply resort to violent unrest in the face of challenging economic circumstances".
It's all a part of the new world order - the riots have been orchestrated, and the puppets are dancing to their tune... conscious though, strategic thinking and foresight is the way forward - this behaviour is only going to trigger more restricting mechanisms and an excuse for more cameras, bugs and tags!
"Oh yes were not like Athens or any other Greek city, here people is more resonable.." And...... let's see what is going on right now......... Yep! Lots and lots of reason here if I might say. Laughs better he who laughs last...... We are very reasonable people here in Greece too.... but our politicians are NOT! I think yours too.......
if you take young people's chances of work, further education and training away, what are they supposed to do? Lets not kid ourselves it's about thuggery, the real thugs are ruling the country. Plan B, look at the consequences if public services disintegrated even more. It's not working and will just get worse, why should the young just accept having no opportunities?
@letiger42 You don't get given opportunities handed out to you, you have to go out and earn them, not complain about how hard it is to get a job whilst your trashing many of your local employers premises, how can others help them when they won't help themselves? its a two way street.
This is all so scary, I'm terrified this will spread to my area. I hope these Idiots sort their lives out and realise they're making everything worse. Most of them are living in areas and making them absolute shitholes, so well done you all of you, our country is on the brink of a double dip recession and no doubt this is going to cost A LOT of money to put right.
@masbrey uuuuuuuughhhhh. What a joke.DO you guys have that nonsense where political parties can be funded by corporations too or is that just an American thing?
Also to Dendio; Australia hasn't scrapped public spending at all and we're doing fine.
He didn't have a point, its all tactics to win. However all these cuts were needed due to the mess left by the Labour party! Blaming the Tories for mindless youths and morons looting is just silly.
you don't think austerirty has any role ot play in this at all - do comfortable, happy people riot? Its far too complicated to rule any drivers in ... or out....
Ok, lets be clear. The recent riots in London are NOT reactions to austerity. They are oppotunistic thugs. This started off as a group of people not liking the fact that they could not get more infomation on a police firearms incident from a non IPCC source. It then turned into the raging of thugs who wanted to loot things because they saw other people being viloent. It is NOT I say again NOT the reactions to austerity.
@SFRobertsDickClarke There have been repeated statements about how this doesn’t appear to be politically motivated but…how is this not political? Not only have there been numerous comments from the rioters about the police, but the looting…you’ve developed a permanent underclass that for the last 3 years in particular has known nothing but privation. Taking shit? Destroying things? That’s a statement. Maybe it’s not accompanied by an articulate philosophy, but I don't think it needs to be.
@redkubikrazy If its an underclass, how come it was being co-ordianted in part, on facebook, by people with access to high quality computers, mobile phones and the internet. Please. These people arn't prolitariat uprising people. They don't care about the plight of the working classes. They are thugs. Pure and simple. I agree that there have been issues and concerns about economic issues, but these people arn't examples of protesteors. They are thugs.
@SFRobertsDickClarke Oh please. Anyone can get access to the internet in this country. Where do you think we are? Do you honestly think having a mobile phone/internet access constitutes being part of the elite? And they are the plight of the working classes. It's happening directly to them. They're reaping the consequences of years of neglect and mistreatment both from the government and the police alike. And you can keep repeating that word "thug", but it still carries little meaning.
@redkubikrazy No, I'm not saying having the internet/mobile makes you part of the elite. I'm saying it makes you above the underclass. These people, intercepted phone/facebook content, shows nothing political about it. This isn't anything to do with neglect of the working classes. This is people being opportunistic thugs. People who think that because some other people have burnt down. If it was political, have a march. Burning down 140 year old businesses isn't going to get you a job.
@SFRobertsDickClarke Seeing as phones cost as little as a fiver to come by nowadays, it makes no sense to assume that by owning one, you can no longer be considered a part of the "underclass". The social networking thing is a convenient distraction. bbm (a free service) was used a hell of a lot more than facebook would've been.
& yes, while marches are a form of political rallying, they aren't the be all and end all of politics. You clearly have no grasp on what the term "political" means.
@redkubikrazy 1. Facebook is free. I wasn't suggesting that it cost money to do the networking, I was suggesting it costs several hundred quid for a computer. These people are not underclass.
2. I'm a political science PHD and I know what political means. Yes, people CAN have political motivations to tear up a shop, but these people don't. They are opportunists, not revolutionaries
@SFRobertsDickClarke 1.You don't need a computer to access the internet. 2.People don't act out for no reason at all.
I'm not claiming that their actions were just. I'm saying that their actions are the consequence of being let down by the system. These are people who receive no support from the authorities, which is why it was so easy for them to act out as they did. And by referring to them as thugs, you're re-affirming the fact that no one cares. The blame does not lie entirely with them.
@redkubikrazy 1. You either need a computer, or an expensive smartphone. Neither come cheep. 2. Given the rubish justifications, I'd say they do. The blame lies entirely with them. No matter how much the system may have failed them (which it hasn't) it never allows for riotousness. The people they are attacking (businesses) are the people who potentially would give them jobs. This isn't poltiical. Of course people care. We want people to have jobs, but guess what? Riots won't make things better.
@SFRobertsDickClarke Smartphone's are not hard to come by, at all. Jobs for young people on the other hand...
It's especially true for those who are not a part of the education system/who are constantly portrayed in the media as worthless and thuggish (e.g. ethnic minorities/youth/poorer people)/who have limited support from the government.
What makes you qualified to assess whether or not the system has failed them? You're clearly too far removed from these problems to understand them.
This isn't about jobs. I've been out of work, I've been frustrated, I haven't burnt down buildings.
If they don't want to be called/treated like thugs, they shouldn't behave like thugs
There are problems but these riots aren't a response to them. They're just people acting out, because they've seen others doing it, think its cool, a laugh and if asked by journalists, will say "urr its the government urrr and busniess" with no actual argument
Cos Clegg is now a Tory. Funny old world.

@BassDudeBear what about the primary school teacher caught looting or the adults in manchester handing bricks to others to throw at windows... i understand your point but they are not all young and not all unemployed. the problem is a mentality and attitude, not a government or an age group.

@codelocator Yes, Joe Blogs, aged 19 on Job Seekers cares about education cuts, he cares so much that soldiers in Afghanistan don't have the most secure vehicles to protect them from IED blasts. They care so much that they didn't go out and vote. They claim they can't get a job because there "are none". Would you like to employ the people throwing bricks in Birmingham and London? No, because the majority are yobs that are unemployable due to their attitude. But that's their excuse!

@BassDudeBear If all you have to aspire to is working in McDonalds, yet in one night you can steal more stuff that McDonalds pays in a month - it pretty understandable why they are looting.
The simple fact is that successive governments have failed young people in Britain - particular those from inner city deprived areas, are this is the result. the gap between the rich and the poor has been moving wider and wider in the last 20 years, and those left at the bottom have had enough.

I don't know why you're talking about soldiers? Bt of a tangent that. There aren't jobs for them whether they're unemployable or not, that's the truth, there just aren't jobs. There aren't jobs and there's even less space, no housing, forget it. A simple flat costs 250k in London. You need to earn what, 70k year just to get a mortgage on that and all the social housing is long gone. They all live in cramped family shitholes and see no way out.
Vote for what? lol, grow up...

Tories or no Tories. The economic deterioration dates of a couple of decades now. Would be extremely ignorant to blame it on either party, all the while budget deficits hit new sky-high records every year.
Maybe a nice first step would be to focus cuts on the resources spent on killing harmless people overseas, like Iraq and Afghanistan. Better yet, as Dave Cameron proves to incredibly off-track on this one, maybe defer all surpassing issues to their Majesty, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Ok, lets be clear. The recent riots in London are NOT reactions to austerity. They are oppotunistic thugs. This started off as a group of people not liking the fact that they could not get more infomation on a police firearms incident from a non IPCC source. It then turned into the raging of thugs who wanted to loot things because they saw other people being viloent. It is NOT I say again NOT the reactions to austerity.
SFRobertsDickClarke 6 months ago
@SFRobertsDickClarke There have been repeated statements about how this doesn’t appear to be politically motivated but…how is this not political? Not only have there been numerous comments from the rioters about the police, but the looting…you’ve developed a permanent underclass that for the last 3 years in particular has known nothing but privation. Taking shit? Destroying things? That’s a statement. Maybe it’s not accompanied by an articulate philosophy, but I don't think it needs to be.
redkubikrazy 6 months ago
@redkubikrazy If its an underclass, how come it was being co-ordianted in part, on facebook, by people with access to high quality computers, mobile phones and the internet. Please. These people arn't prolitariat uprising people. They don't care about the plight of the working classes. They are thugs. Pure and simple. I agree that there have been issues and concerns about economic issues, but these people arn't examples of protesteors. They are thugs.
SFRobertsDickClarke 6 months ago
@SFRobertsDickClarke Oh please. Anyone can get access to the internet in this country. Where do you think we are? Do you honestly think having a mobile phone/internet access constitutes being part of the elite? And they are the plight of the working classes. It's happening directly to them. They're reaping the consequences of years of neglect and mistreatment both from the government and the police alike. And you can keep repeating that word "thug", but it still carries little meaning.
redkubikrazy 6 months ago
@redkubikrazy No, I'm not saying having the internet/mobile makes you part of the elite. I'm saying it makes you above the underclass. These people, intercepted phone/facebook content, shows nothing political about it. This isn't anything to do with neglect of the working classes. This is people being opportunistic thugs. People who think that because some other people have burnt down. If it was political, have a march. Burning down 140 year old businesses isn't going to get you a job.
SFRobertsDickClarke 6 months ago
@SFRobertsDickClarke Seeing as phones cost as little as a fiver to come by nowadays, it makes no sense to assume that by owning one, you can no longer be considered a part of the "underclass". The social networking thing is a convenient distraction. bbm (a free service) was used a hell of a lot more than facebook would've been.
& yes, while marches are a form of political rallying, they aren't the be all and end all of politics. You clearly have no grasp on what the term "political" means.
redkubikrazy 6 months ago
@redkubikrazy 1. Facebook is free. I wasn't suggesting that it cost money to do the networking, I was suggesting it costs several hundred quid for a computer. These people are not underclass.
2. I'm a political science PHD and I know what political means. Yes, people CAN have political motivations to tear up a shop, but these people don't. They are opportunists, not revolutionaries
SFRobertsDickClarke 6 months ago
@SFRobertsDickClarke 1.You don't need a computer to access the internet. 2.People don't act out for no reason at all.
I'm not claiming that their actions were just. I'm saying that their actions are the consequence of being let down by the system. These are people who receive no support from the authorities, which is why it was so easy for them to act out as they did. And by referring to them as thugs, you're re-affirming the fact that no one cares. The blame does not lie entirely with them.
redkubikrazy 6 months ago 3
@redkubikrazy 1. You either need a computer, or an expensive smartphone. Neither come cheep. 2. Given the rubish justifications, I'd say they do. The blame lies entirely with them. No matter how much the system may have failed them (which it hasn't) it never allows for riotousness. The people they are attacking (businesses) are the people who potentially would give them jobs. This isn't poltiical. Of course people care. We want people to have jobs, but guess what? Riots won't make things better.

@SFRobertsDickClarke Smartphone's are not hard to come by, at all. Jobs for young people on the other hand...
It's especially true for those who are not a part of the education system/who are constantly portrayed in the media as worthless and thuggish (e.g. ethnic minorities/youth/poorer people)/who have limited support from the government.
What makes you qualified to assess whether or not the system has failed them? You're clearly too far removed from these problems to understand them.

@redkubikrazy Smartphones/computers are expensive.
This isn't about jobs. I've been out of work, I've been frustrated, I haven't burnt down buildings.
If they don't want to be called/treated like thugs, they shouldn't behave like thugs
There are problems but these riots aren't a response to them. They're just people acting out, because they've seen others doing it, think its cool, a laugh and if asked by journalists, will say "urr its the government urrr and busniess" with no actual argument
