  • Does anyone know the guy at 14.27? The guy who was born in South Africa. I'm writing something on the riots and would like to quote him. Cheers

  • @ponyup7 yes, if you send us a message to the fliplifetv account we can put you in touch with him..

  • equal rights and justice!

  • let down my arse. i f u guys studied in school instead of fucking around and being in detention and acting like the gangster then u wouldnt have to loot or riot.

  • Debates are fine, in my opinion, but when you don't let someone speak, which is what a lot of them are doing to the guy who was 'born in a war torn country' i think it's unfair. He's made a few silly points and a few clever ones but when they've made their point, he should be able to make his...

  • The Heart of the street.

  • -to be honest right, i LOVE the girl that had the massive afro! because her questions have a good/fair point. these people are trying to fix this problem &the fact that they went out there to try and get peoples opinions about the riots i give them respect because of that.

    IT IS things like this that government should be watching &getting their solutions from.

  • As a young black man I realize that our youth are in a dying or dead state right now and need to be lifted up. But it's only one part of the problem. It starts with us black people coming together and lifting ourselves up economically, socially, politically and otherwise. We need to build an economic base owned by blacks in black communities hiring blacks; aspired by Marcus Garvey & his UNIA. We also need to have a political base to get strength with our vote; aspired by Malcolm X & his OAAU.

  • I watched the whole thing.. reminds me of how it is in London

  • big up pside tv....inspiring public media....more bruv...forwardzzzz

  • That guy at 19:00 is a cunt! All pumped up for nothing

  • Questime time live from Clapham junction

  • lokk girl at 13 20 her haircut is very funny

  • That fag in the timberland shirt should have been bitched slapped

  • What did Martin Luther King die for? Gold chains, BMW's, popping caps in people's asses and slapping their bitches upside their heads?

  • @SteveArpo And it's thinking like this that causes stereotypes and other bad messages. Every race has their idiots. But it's just everyone focuses on them primarily rather than the other blacks that help to make the black community's image better. Do we always just focus on rednecks when we think of white people? Hispanic drug lords when think of hispanics people.

  • This video is absolutely pointless. They can't debate properly and 85% of their points are invalid.

  • Shut up. Just scummy people making an opportunity to rob shops after some poor fucker has just been killed.

    Using his name to loot shops is a disgrace.

  • Better than any professional Documentation

  • This is just so typical! Look how the guy in the black top, who is actualy of a greater understandingis being shut down! and!! the so solid dude who is chating pure shit is giving his opinions with such ignorance!! makes me sick to think a generation actualy grew up listening to him and his cronies.

  • I feel sorry for the guy who came in at 1:44 who was the manager of the shop they were standing outside. He made made some excellent points but the others just dismissed what he said. Only in a country as tolerant as this could you hear people moaning about inequality. I don't pretend for a second that things are perfect or that everyone has the same start in life here but some of the claims about social deprivation in this video are just warped.

  • @Ndugu82 UK is one of the most unequal contries in Europe...that is just a fact.

  • @daveruda I never actually said anything about the level of tolerance in the UK in comparison to Europe, you made that limitation. There are many countries where it is illegal to be a homosexual, even punishable by a death sentence. In some countries you can receive the death sentence for apostasy, lose a hand or be mutilated for the act of theft and be stoned to death for adultery. Women are considered property, half the worth of man, deprived education, brutalised and forced to cover up.

  • @daveruda cont... Now people who live in countries like this have every right to complain about how hard things are. People in the UK by comparison have little standing in their way and many refugees who have come to the UK to escape such regimes would agree with me. Now you said it is a fact that the UK is one of the most unequal countries in Europe which I don’t actually think is true, what proof do you have to support this?

  • @Ndugu82 And a quick search on google will show how London is " The most unequal city in Western world ".

    "The UK combines high income inequality and poverty, with only Ireland and the USA falling below it in the United Nations’ ‘human poverty index’ for 18 industrialised countries."

    "the richest 10% of the population are more than 100 times as wealthy as the poorest 10% of society."

    Its quite well documented accually. UK is in serious trouble.

  • @daveruda First you compared the UK to Europe and now you are singling out London which has different demographics to the rest of the country. You change what I said to suit your own argument. Also, the fact that the UK has disproportionate wealth is a symptom of any capitalist democracy. As Churchill said “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others”. You work for what you get here and people have a fair chance at that unlike in other countries .

  • @Ndugu82 London was directly affected by riots and as stated in previous post Uk is one of the worst examples of inequlaity in the developed world. The connection between crime, violence, health and social problems and unequality within societies are statistically strong. Yes you can even single out these issues to local communitites within cities. Born in rags..you most likely stay in rags in the UK. Its not equal opportunities for everybody...they are inherrited. Makes sence right?

    .

  • @daveruda No, not at all. The UK is an extremely tolerant country and people from all backgrounds here have a really good chance of making the life they want for themselves. There are all kinds of government policies and programs to encourage and assist people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The 'born in rags..stay in rags' mentality you have unfortunately holds a lot of people back and gives them an excuse to stay in a vicious cycle of poverty.

  • @daveruda My main point was how tolerant the UK is, for example towards asylum and immigration which is in part why there is such disproportionate wealth particularly in cities like London. Essentially you are calling this inequality therefore confusing it with our fundamental principals that all races, creeds etc must have equal rights.

  • "we couldn't afford SHIT now everythings' free so we 'LOOT'/please dont shoot when ya see I'M TAKIN' FROM THEM CUZ FOR YEARS THEY WOULD TAKE FROM ME/now the tables is turned around ya didn't LISTEN until the niggas BURNT IT DOWN" - 2Pac

  • Im 3 mins into this video and im already stopping it, theyre trying too hard to give a reason to these riots and looters.

    Let's face facts here for a moment. If each person who felt they had been let down by the governments when they were growing up, went around trashing shops, injuring people and looting, then the uk wouldn't exist at all.

    Every single person who looted or took part in the riots i really hope get what is coming to them. Theyre low life scum and a waste of space.

  • The poverty program was not designed to eliminate poverty.

  • The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.

  • why is it that as soon as someone has a different opinion in a "debate" they get angry and don't want to listen to his views, how are we meant to listen and understand and cater for peoples needs, when those same people are not willing to negotiate or listen to anyone else?

  • @DreamerRaver i thought exactly the same when the shop manager started speaking. these people think that their owed something by someone. i am from yorkshire i have never been given anything by anyone, they think people outside london are given everything, bullshit!

  • it's simple common sense that there will be less black people in high paying jobs, the same as ther will be less in any other job for the simple fact that there is less black people than white people living in the community?

  • LOL that guy on the left from like 5:00+ looks stumped.

  • “Riots are the voice of the unheard.” - Dr. Martine L. King Jr

    Until the global system of white racism white supremacy is destroyed, nothing will ever change for non-white people on the planet!

  • @walkingbear2 lazy is lazy no matter your race. point blank.

  • @imsocool215

    Then white people in amerikkka must be the laziest people on the planet they had made Black people do all the work for nearly 400 years.

    By the way are you suffering from psychological projection also called projection bias?

  • @walkingbear2 get over the black and white thing. the same blame game

  • @imsocool215

    Why are you so quick to defend [white racism] white supremacy?

  • @walkingbear2 black people will never get anywhere with people like you. whos only fight is "becasue im black" its not 1920.

  • @walkingbear2 I like cheesecake

  • @walkingbear2 This has nothing to about being black or white. Its about your own government who counldnt give a shit about anybody. who go around invading countries black or white, stealing, rioting, and killing innocent people. The rioting in London is nothing when you compare it to what America and the British empire has done down through the years and will continuously to do so. I believe the next time there is a riot police will be paid to worsen the situation by.......

  • @walkingbear2 wearing normal clothes so people don't know that they are the police. This why the police where told to stand down and let the rioting go on for almost three days they want the think to spiral out of control because by doing this it gives them so much more power to do what ever they want and bring in new laws. We really haven't see anything yet. Thinks are going to get worse and I mean a lot worse. Its the banks we should be

  • @walkingbear2 targeting, it is them who has put in this situation. People need to stick together black and white and all religions because that's the tools they use against us divide and conquer. The people have the power they just don't know it. Years ago the people told the government what to do its the other way about in today's world. If you understand what money is and how it is being created then you understand almost everything...

  • @walkingbear2 Watch the documentary Money As Debt it should make things a lot clearer, you will find it on YouTube, and as well spread the word because a lot of people are beginning to wake up and seeing how we have been lied to and manipulated for years and how the whole system works.

    Take care

  • "2 out of 10 [blacks being employed within a black man's business] is not representative of an equal society"

    Sorry, but that is absolute bullshit. Since when has 20% of the UK been black? These youths have been instilled with anger, have been brought up with bad parenting, and their morals and values are obviously missing. They only have themselves to blame.

  • @whufc4life1 Thats the sort of attitude that sparked this reaction blame it on them turn a blind eye cos its not affecting you... Now the riots have come and gone you wanna get angry...

  • @DRaSTiK1979 No, let's be perfectly honest: there was absolutely NO political agenda to the rioting. They are not rioting because they are the underclass! They are rioting because they lack education and good parenting! I'm from a poor area, and a relatively poor family; I don't have a 60" TV but, hey, I'm gonna work my butt off and try and move up in life! In this video, they make a point that blacks are discriminated, etc., so how does this explain the retarded white kids for rioting?!

  • @whufc4life1 I watched a video of someone who was part of the rioting and they admitted they were being opportunists but its something that has been brewing for years and as someone coming from that background you should understand how they feel but they don't have anything to lose... those with nothing to lose will gamble everything

  • @whufc4life1 My point is there isn't one thing that caused this but a COMBINATION of things and it will take time and effort to resolve...

  • @DRaSTiK1979 I agree with you that we're not in the most equal of societies (if that's what you're insinuating). But I'm pointing out that they didn't riot because of this; moreso, they rioted because they're scum and don't value freedom.

  • @whufc4life1 Yeahh thats basically wha I'm saying... But I will say its a shame its taken something as drastic as this to get the government to realise how there are a more than a few youths in need of help (lack sense of direction).

  • Also, a point made abundantly in this video... 'They are hungry' - hungry for what? Plasma TVs? In life, if you want to live like the Joneses, you gotta work like the Joneses. I know your comment is well-meaning, and that is your genuine belief, but for you to say I have an attitude? This is precisely the reason for the riots; they hate the police, and have negative attitudes towards them. It's almost fashionable to hate the police. It's not just black youths, it's white kids hating aswell...

  • @whufc4life1 Hungry for attention... Its like you get a bad kid at school and thats what most see - the surface of it. Just a kid misbehaving (blame it on bad parenting etc) instead of thinking why he misbehaves and getting to the root of it (or at least attempting to). If you don't he'll eventually turn on you and all those that didn't listen and didn't pay him any mind. 'Riots are language of the unheard' - Dr Martin Luther King Jr

  • @whufc4life1 And to your comment bout mine saying you have a bad attitude?? Yeahh you do if you think ALL black people who partook in rioting were raised badly and have noone to blame but themselves then that is just ignorant... And THAT is the exact attitude that separates us young people from society as a whole (MOST of the time) you see riots and think they're all yobs blah blah but I can gurantee some will say they're getting back at the police... Some the government... Some are just angry..

  • P.S these people can't even debate with out getting agressive and throwing insults, and they wonder why their kids are showing aggression ? lol.

  • so destroying local buisiness, mugging and beating innocent passers by is just a venting of hungry kids ??

    yeah right.... go and loot a bank or a supermarket if your starving.... not widescreen fucking TV's ...

    vent your anger towards government buildings and corporate buisiness, not innocent civillians. Criminal Hooligans.... and nothing else,

    probably orchastrated by the rich bankers to destroy our legitimate rights to protest. and those kids had a ball !!

  • what about the bankers, these white untouchable thieves who have stolen billions, from each and every one of us, They powers that be get all upset about things being stolen at the lower levels of society is only a reflection of what is being done on a much grander scale at the higher levels. Cant expect good morals if not moral at the top. does not work like that. People plz blame the correct level of society and not the ones on the receiving end of the mega thieving

  • these black youths these black youths that

    there was black whie asian mixed race rioting in junction that day its absoutley taking the piss that they aim this at black youths

  • The blueprint to life begins at home, parenting skill, respect....you cannot always blame the schools. Immigrants cross safe countries to get what the UK has to offer. Education, health care etc.... if you waste your opportunity you have only yourself to blame...if you haven't got your shit together by now you never will. Other cultures manage to get organised.......stop blaming others and start to look at yourselves.

  • @sleezy06 not everyone was raised like you, you dont even know if some of these youths are in foster care and mistreated. props to your mother for raising you right though

  • man in the purple ecko top speaks the most sense of all.

  • that tall guy says at the time 3:13 'despite the fact they were robbing shops they still had time to come and say hi to my dog, there'll not bad people really' lol what a ledge!!

  • @mrmanjump LOOOOOOOOL

  • forgodsake,....

    next time do NOT record near a constructionyard!!!!

    dammed anoying fucking saw noise!!!

  • Love this. There's so much community in this half an hour. More please. Would love to see how we feel we can turn things around, and how to look forward. Turn that passion into building for the future.

  • Who is flicking the zippo in the background fu8kin ANNOYING !!!! AAAAAAAAAAA

  • the guy in the purple ecko top talks a lot of sense

  • What fucking opportunities are you going on about? you fucking lipstick!!!! i joined the Army straight from School its called getting off your fat arse & if you are a person with integrity, people will believe in you & maybe just maybe? they might give you a job! & if for some reason they dont give you the job? its not always because of the colour of your skin......

  • @mrmanjump You joined the army of fortune. Your a paid mercenary. Paid to kill for Queen and country. You've been had dummy.lol Killing people for there home land nobody paying them to protect whats theres. Your disgusting, but your brave to expose your involvement in murder just for resources. sick

  • Comment removed

  • @rockbusta I never got personal with anyone so why are you? but its interesting, how now i am the bad guy? because i dont follow your opinions? you blame everyone but the rioters for their actions, you are waiting for something to happen or someone to hand you something, it is'nt coming, wake up because life will pass you by and you will have done nothing but winge about everything, get off your arse and get a job......

  • @rockbusta You are a bad man you kill for money. Your army that pays.. you are like the boy helping a granny across the road. but the boy was only disguising his true objective. which is to steel the granny hand bag with out being seen. That is what your pay master are about. I feel sorry for you when judgement day comes.. Now your going to help loot Libya so we all in the UK can purchase looted petrol. Diabolical Britain. It's not personal it's political

  • @rockbusta do you think Libya is better with Colonel Gadaffi?

  • @mrmanjump Yes 

  • Comment removed

  • My man in the echo top was talking A LOT of sense, that shrieking black girl with the camera on her hand who said she's a youth worker was fuckin awful! impossible to have any type of debate with someone like that....

  • Do u actually think police cudnt protect the city centres from kids?? This happened so that they cud change police policy and get more power for all the peaceful protests to come, cuts havnt bite yet. Think about it they will only change policys and give police more power but wont do shit about the problems facing britiah youth.

  • "WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUSH A DOG INTO A CORNER? HE LASHES OUT!"

  • ONE OF THE REASONS PEOPLE IN LONDON SHOUT SO MUCH IS BECAUSE ITS SOOO F....IN NOISEY !!! you all live in a permanent building site it has a huge effect on the brain.

  • My mother raised 3 of us. house with no heating all i owned was a fishing rod and a bike, ive never robbed anybody would never hurt anyone, its the breakdown of community and family value expect nothing from government keep your own family shit together,

  • this is bullshit, there are no excuses for any of the behaviour seen in d riots,regardless of upbringing,or as he keeps saying;the socio-political historical cultural journey. my parents were immigrants to this country who started off with nothing, i was raised with nothing, the government never gave us anything, we had nowhere to go, nothing to do. But discipline and hard work, with a mentality that if i wanted something worth having, i would have to work for it and i'm in a better place for it

  • @chubid fuck you mean you didnt have nothing and had nowhere to go? explain your situation properly. did you sell your soul to the devil to live in a better place? cos "discipline, hard work, with mentality" wont get you a house and a better job. OPPORTUNITIES and dedication to whatever you want to apply does.

  • i understand the looting i understand the clashes with police the firebombing on peoples home i will never agree with having seen what some **** did in croydon destroying peoples homes i counted 26 homes razed to the ground and another 15 homes made unsafe because of smoke damage or structural damage.. poor peoples homes. but if there is one thing that must be done it is to listen to the people. before it happens again because it will.

    good work on creating the video! bless!!

  • Respond to this video...  The whites are the ones having their country taken from them by the non whites,Whites should be the ones tearing shit up.

  • swiss im so proud of you right now

  • This is really intense to watch. It's amazing how people live inside little bubbles, even within their own cities. These kinds of things don't just happen for no reason. The "worst" members of society are created by society itself. Local and ...State government tries to attack the problem by attacking individuals who commit certain acts against society, but the problem has to be attacked on a much larger scale in order to change conditions which produce these kinds of individuals. - New York, NY

  • Swiss held it down though.

  • This is a joke! You're not talking about under privileged youths here they've had the same opportunities as the rest of us to do something. How is it that some of us can go to school/college/uni & work hard to make something? Yes we're black, yes there is racism/discrimination EVERYWHERE that's the more reason to make an example of our people. Burn down your local cos that guys richer than you? he's not rich, he has more money because HE WORKS. Arson & Manslaughter isn't the way to make a stand

  • @dbridgeman387 completely agree with you man. I'm glad people are starting to see sense

  • @dbridgeman387 EXACTLYYYY! x

  • The idea that 'the rich worked hard' is it seems 9 times out of 10 a load of BS

  • 34:30 i'm sorry but that it is a terrible generalisation. "alot of the people you're talking about alot of the people you're talking about " Bitch go look up some statistics

  • 26:42 that is the main point that will destroy most arguments. Anyone who tries hard enough can turn their life around. Its time people stop blaming the government, the police ,white people(trollolol) and start asking themeselves "has anything they've done made their life better?"

  • @nameless12345 lol but u talk about blaming white people,aint no one asking white people for handouts cus whats a white person gonna do for us,nothing,the government sets policies rules and laws,but yet they treat minorities as them and us,yet we are not allowed to dictate and choose our own path,we have to adhere to their guidance,which for the most part does not serve to benefit us,yet we pay taxes but the taxes dont help us

  • @okonla24 Like i said " haa anything you ever done made your life any better?" I got through school and college with no problem and i came from a council estate in fact i still live in one. You've imprisoned yourself mate.

  • @nameless12345 you see most whites dont understand that they are in priviledged positions due to the past,ie the british empire robbing an stealing from others,you all are very oblivious or choose to ignore,ur wealthy not cus whites are anymore hardworking or smart but u stole,ur making assumptions about me also,claiming i imprisoned myself lol,how is that so,i have a job,businesses abroad,a degree and nearly finished my masters,so pls dont stereotype,which is very common among white people

  • @okonla24 i'm not white your moron. you completely contradicted yourself this argument is over and you completely missed the point. "yet we are not allowed to dictate and choose our own path" now suddenly you have a job and a degree? I think you should just focus on the very first comment i made and i realise that that is exactly what you did with your life.

  • @nameless12345you dont have the capacity to fully grasp the point which am making,they say we are all equal and same,but when a crime is commited by a minority they talk about trident,the muslim community,that in itself creates are an absolute idiot,the governmet talks about equality but yet go to the most deprived areas in london and go to the areas where the politicians live and tell me there is equality,but its them making policies,they dont live in our communities,read a book asap

  • @nameless12345 and the fact that ur not white means nothing,ur still a brainwashed fool that gets all his education and news of the world from the sun and skynews,lol and u sau all of a sudden I claim i have a degree and a job,did I ever state i didnt or was it just your ignorance and stupidity that led to that assumption,jus like ur media assumes stereotypes for every one based on colour,i dont brag abou having a degree,am almost completing my masters and soon to start a phd,what have u done

  • @okonla24 You have made the most assumptions out of anyone here. The only reason is said i wasn't white was because you kept referring to me as white. You say things are hard and then you say you are about to start a phd. Do you see what i'm trying to get at here? You are the one showing off your academic credentials here. I am not going to tell you what i have done because it is completely of the point and i don't want to seem pretentious. Life is hard and there are alot of fucked up.....

  • @nameless12345 ,U claim i am making the most assumptions lol,when it was u who assumed i was unemployed and didnt have any formal qualifications,hence why i had to correct you,you may notbe aware of it but you have a habit of jumping to conclusions and putting words into peoples mouths,u dont listen u merely assume,now u claim I am saying things are hard,PERLEASE quote me,what would I be aiming to achieve by telling you things are hard after all you are the primeminister ofcourse

  • @okonla24..... things thats are wrong with this country and i actually agree with some of the things you were saying but like i said before you completely missed the point of the very first comment i made.

  • Bringing out the thesaurus into a debate does not strengthen your arguments.

  • Watching this is painful for a number of reasons. What we call "expressing ourself" consists of shouting, being angry, and most importantly pointing a finger. We always have somehting to say, but never ready to listen. The one thing that has not been in this debate for the past 45 minutes is the lack of black fathers in their house with their children. Not discussed once. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

  • That was good work. Take your education seriously. It's Free

  • Fuck classes.

  • @Zsmart lol i don't think you would like to live in classless society mate. It doesn't work

  • @nameless12345 I already do. Hard work determines your success. Every man should have to make his own name from scratch. We are all equals, it's time we started acting like it.

  • @Zsmart lol im sorry to disappoint but Canada is not a classless society. It is a very nice place though they are definitely doing something right out there.

  • @nameless12345 I can't even imagine having limitations, so yes something is right.

  • I've actually seen videos, read articles, and listened to Black ppl from the UK that all say that close to 80% of the rioters and looters were non-Black ppl.

  • If this has created a hoody typecast, then take your muthaphuckin hood off. It aint raining. Shit

  • "im from the streets, where should i go?" Try school, college uni, I hear they throw knowledge in those places like hot cakes. Start at the hairdresser and make your way to school. Somebody tell that crackhead homeless dude to shut the hell up.

  • so youre sayin, they're sill uneducated since the war? come on bruv, fix up. why is the slavery card used when it suits you? you got a black president. I thought we moved on. Oh blacks are uneducated again?. The brother next to him made a very valid point, didn't they have the same curriculum? didn't really answer that one. He asked the question. Yes he asked not arksed. Come on black people, what the fuck is that all about? its ASKED. A.S.K.E.D. Why do all of you arks?

  • Only just 8 mins in so far, and the manager of JD Sports is all like "my shop", u don't own shit. U just run it.

    See Malcolm X, and his definition of the house negro and the field negro.

    

  • Brilliant. Just brilliant. I concur with all the points raised - it's what I've been saying for a fortnight and only two of my friends (and a nice lady in the health food shop) get what I'm trying to say. This is the result of YEARS of elitist thinking and policy, and I'm SO glad you guys were out there talking about it with all those people. (Timberland guy was a tosser - man, if you read this, if you don't have the courtesy to let someone finish, you're rude and you can't learn anything new.)

  • @adamis84 What a complete cock he was. SO arrogant. Didn't even have the courtesy to let ANYone finish. 

  • arks ? what does this mean. and they wonder why they dont get a job, cant even be bothered to talk the language in the country there in. As a cracker if i went to Ethiopia would i expect to be treated better then the brothers who are there doubt it and i wouldn't keep talking my language.

  • Good debate, they need more debates like this around the UK

  • I love the way that Parliament, who largely is responsible for the entire debacle, aren't directly attacked - yet again

    Why is it alway the honest, hard working taxpayer who's affected and disadvantaged most?

    Is it because they're too exhausted from said work to make enough noise?

  • 24:22 "What are they upset about"

    ....

    ...

  • equalmoney(.org)

    nice debate

  • Nice Depth-of-field. Camera? Lens?

  • It's not race thing, it's a class thing. This is what it is exactly.

  • To paraphrase an old man -- the educated classes have miserably failed to educated the uneducated, and now they feign shock.

  • its because being in a gang is glamourised on TV......also much of rap music is to blame

  • There is no community REAL TALK if you got a video camera film it White & Black ppls use your eyes example: a white person is severed at the supermarket the response is hi how you doing. Black person go's next sometimes you might get a friendly response but most of the time no response your shit gets swiped then you piss off out off there. Whats more disappointing is when your own kind ignores you, this a social breakdown mentally. USE YOUR EYES YOU'LL SEE IT BLATANT.

  • this crowd has good intentions but is essentially a fucking mob of shouting randomers...1st they were ganing up on the black dude cuz he said "everyone is equal" then did the same against the white dude...

  • Everyone suddenly has the solution to the Riots. unfortunately no substance.

  • lol! Everyone thinks they have the solution. Empty barrels make the most noise. Loads of inputs unfortunately no substance.

  • @noskydagee haha you are a condescending fuck...i suppose you have all the answers ay wiseguy?

  • This video has inspired me to get involved in the debate. I am a white middle class university educated full time employee for a high street commercial bank. I have never suffered the same as some of these people in early life but I feel it’s worth saying that these people are not the only people without a voice! It's time we held our politicians to account and demanded that they represent the countries views. Its all well and good 'fixing' broken Britain but you can't fix it without listening.

  • Lol the first arrested "disadvantaged youths" were uni graduates, graphic designers, a chef, a ballet student, a serving paratrooper, dental nurse, teacher etc, i think the one thing this group had in common was that they were all leftists thinking they were engaged in some sort of revolution, there was also black gangs involved who took advantage of a weak Govt, using the opportunity to loot, steal and engage in arson.

  • this was so interesting to watrch, thank you! this is what i love, people of all different cultures debating and discussing, this is true freedom of speech. you should go to every area that had riots and try and get opinions...do a series or something, very good.

  • Britain is a powder keg waiting to go off, like most of the rest of the western world. Its turning into a police state with all the surveillance cameras and the attitudes of the leaders. Of course if the rioters really wanted to make their mark they'd attack parliament, having first burnt down the telecom exchange buildings to wipe out all the cameras. All it'll take is for a few countries to go broke and the domino effect will kick in and KAPOW!

  • Who is the brother in the stripped shirt I want to reach out to him...

  • “The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.”

    writings by Martin Luther King Jr., on education

    These people are Criminals with no morals.

  • The problem:-

    Lack of education and morals (knowing right from wrong)

    Solution:-

    Short term :- Remove from society those that threaten society.

    Long term:- Education, Education, Education & punishment when you break the rules.

  • I am alarmed by how many:-

    1. Liberal minded people are willing to make excuses to justify the behaviour of these thugs & Criminals.

    2. Conspiracy theory extremists - toting paranoia against the global political agenda & they are all out to get us. (this subject is bound to attract the odd looney!)

    3. Gimmie Gimmie's - with their huge chip on their shoulder who are trying to place everything from slavery to windrush, on the agenda. With no Personal responsibility.

    I know the problem & Solution

  • What a horrible bunch of in-yer-face shoutey idiots pretending to be liberal media commentators. They've got all the PC cliches and excuses under the sun.

  • HOW COME THIS WASN'T ON TV

  • @cinenglland Duncan Bannatyne then. Just wanted to point out that there isn't that as an excuse.

  • This needs to be shown on TV - the real issues being discussed, rather than the outrage of the propaganda-peddling BBC, Sky News, etc, who are only mad because high street stores are getting smashed. It really shows the extent of our capitalist society's obsession with materialism and the shallow hunger for money and power.

  • lol CONCENTRATION CAMP lol

  • It is both a race and class issue, though mostly class. It's about the middle class-run government leading the working class into disadvantage through the government-run institutions i.e. eduction, benefits, etc. As a result, there are many ethnic backgrounds (mostly non-white) led to these situations due to the institutionalized racism in education systems, work/corporate environments, etc. It just so happens that in cases like this, race and class are very very close.

  • Amazing video guys and girls. Good job, refreshing to hear the people speak instead of corrupt hypocritical privileged and ignorant politicians. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

  • I don't think it's as much to do with race as that guy makes out. There's still issues to tackle with racism, but as said below me, I think this is much more of a class issue. The government haven't failed black people necessarily, they've failed the working class and the poor of this country, regardless of their race. They've failed the working class for decades, but that's another thing.

  • Too much emphasis on race in my opinion by the guy in the shirt. Much more of a class issue in my opinion.

  • if you want something in life you work for it. if you have to work 10 times harder then the next person YOU WORK 10 TIMES HARDER THEN. im black and im sick of the "it cause im black thing" everything i have i worked to get. and then i say i was born to dirt. i really mean it. no family ect,,.... never did and never will want a person to feel sorry for me. at the end of the day you can take away every excuse for a person. and they will just make another one.

  • @imsocool215 thank god people are starting to see sense. Seriously you should be debating with these people

  • @imsocool215 I have a lot of respect for you and your attitude.There are 2 many people out there who blame the rich,the middle,for their demise.I will work 2-3 jobs to save for my education to get a better job,whatever it takes& I would be forever greatful to a country that let me come there 2 try to make it on my own.2 many wait for the government to take care of them,this is what has happened in America "expectation of hand outs".It started as hard working country 2 establish itself.

  • Comment removed

  • @imsocool215 I also respect the African at the first who has worked hard to make it&the guy in the cream sweatshirt who said the same.I &many have NO respect for violent behavior to get attention,you are no better than terrorists who try 2 have their say the same way, who kill innocent ppl.If you dont like it there go back home or move to another country, maybe u can make it on welfare the rest of your lives.Quit blaming others,alot of ppl with money had OPPORTUNITY in a free country to make it
