The things people are doing are terrible. I honestly blame the last government for this. when i was a boy growing up the early nineties in London, if someone was murdered i felt that people were shocked.
Now it only takes toddlers getting caught up in gun fights to shock people.
What was it about Labour that made people feel it was o.k to go out and do whatever they liked?
Society was supposed to be more affluent under this lot before the recession, I guess for some people who couldn't attian it through the right means, the wrong means became justifiable. 'Lifes fair etc', 'we're all born equal and deserve the same' etc.
Thats the biggest myth of all, and was peddled to the mothers (often on their own struggling to make ends meat for their kids). This made a lot of people beleive things would come without the work needed to make them come. I hold my hand up I was the same growing up, had the same type of attitude.
These ideologies have always been folly, as most genuine people who have grafted to get a better life on the left of the political spectrum know. It tends to be the champaign socialists who peddle the wrong information.
They would have been better telling all of society, (including people living in Brixton or anywhere else) - "listen, life is not fair, in fact we are in one of the most unfair socieities around in terms of social justice'.
That way, people who came from less than well off backgrounds could of actually aspired to suceeding properly in their youth, instead of 'expecting' fairness to transpire in their lives both economically and socially.
The current lot aren't much better to be fair. The wisenss of Ken Clarke's policies, especially on drugs have been washed away under a torrent of abuse from the usual suspects.
No doubt this incident was just another rare occurance according to old Boris. I mean, the Olympics are coming up and we do have tourists to talk to...
