"The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Historically, riots have occurred due to poor working or living conditions, government, oppression, taxation or conscription, conflicts between Ethnic groups, food supply or religions (see race riot, sectarian violence and pogrom), the outcome of a sporting event (see football hooliganism) or frustration with legal channels through which to air grievances." -Wikipedia

"To wit, 44 percent of Social Security recipients, 41 percent of military veterans, 43 percent of unemployment recipients, 40 percent of Medicare recipients, 43 percent of college Pell Grant recipients and 27 percent of welfare recipients all said they had never used a government social program."

@HeWhoAvoidsTheLight

What the fuck is a "collective name?"

[LukeKCRoscoe]

@raptoresque it's the capital of the entire United Kingdom, if "England" had a devolved regional government, then London might be the capital of that too

[raptoresque]

It's people like you that confirm why I'm a Conservative. You Lefties are truly uninformed and backward-thinking.

As Pat Condell has pointed out, the rioters in Great Britain (which is England plus Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) were Left-voting dregs of society, unwilling to educate themselves or train for a productive profession, unwilling to get off the government tit and earn their own way through life, and taught to hate the very society that was pandering to their every vice.

@LukeKCRoscoe Wales hasn't really been around since the mid 1500s when it's administration was formally incorporated into that of the Kingdom of England

[LukeKCRoscoe]

London is the capital city

Britain is short for Great Britain, which refers to the island which contains most of the territory of the UK

The UK's full name is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (because its territory primarily consists of Great Britain- the "Great" was originally used to differentiate it from Brittany in northern France- and 6 of the counties of Ulster).

England was a country and is still called one even though it hasn't been since 1707 (same for Scotland)
