I guess one could say I took offense to the Prime Minister's statements about enlisting USA Gang Prevention Measures.
Cameron had the audacity to reach across 'the pond' to state the violence was gang related as in the USA. He was referring to inner city gang violence. You know the 'darkies.' Somehow the USA was responsible for the violence in his country.
Really?
I suppose that was the case in March of this year as well, huh?
ANTI-AUSTERITY RIOT IN UK SMASHES ITS WAY INTO A BANK AND CLASHES WITH POLICE (click title to entry - thank you)

“Police fought mobs of masked thugs who pelted officers with ammonia and fireworks loaded with coins.The anti-capitalists started fires and smashed their way into banks, hotels and shops, bringing chaos to Britain’s busiest shopping street.
The violence began as Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, addressed a TUC rally of at least 250,000 peaceful protesters in Hyde Park who had marched from Westminster to demonstrate against government spending cuts.
As he spoke, an apparently co-ordinated attack began on shops and police in Oxford Street as a mob tried to storm into shops including Topshop, BHS and John Lewis.
MPs and retailers said the scenes damaged Britain’s reputation around the world.”
The sooner Cameron stops making pitiful excuses for his painful and unrealistic austerity measures, the better. They are a failure and make the British economy worse and not better. Cameron doesn't seem to look himself in the mirror well enough to actually grapple with 'the truth.'
...Cameron, describing the four nights of looting, (click here) arson and violence, in which five people were killed, as "criminality, pure and simple," said the initial police response had been inadequate.
His remarks drew a sharp reaction from the police service, which is facing deep cuts in numbers as part of a government austerity drive aimed at cutting the large public debt.
"The fact that politicians chose to come back is an irrelevance in terms of the tactics that were by then developing," said Hugh Orde, head of the Association of Chief Police Officers, referring to Cameron and other senior ministers who cut short their holidays after two days of mayhem at home....
The 'gang' is not the problem. These people came together at a moment's notice to support their own point of view as it was in protest of a draconian and ideological austerity attack on the Middle Class and Poor of Great Britain.
Prime Minister David Cameron (click here) blamed the worst riots in Britain for decades on street gang members and opportunistic looters and denied government austerity measures or poverty caused the violence in London and other major English cities.
Cameron told an emergency session of parliament that police tactics had failed at the start of the rioting. Courts worked through the night to dealwith hundreds of mostly young people arrested during the mayhem....
Unfortunately, Cameron is not a Nobel Laureate and can't seem to admit when he is "W"rong. What a shame. I suppose the riots in Greece are infiltration of USA Gang violence, too. Huh?
...Increasingly the evidence points to the workers of Europe as being correct (click here) as the austerity measures instituted earlier this year wreak havoc on the economies they were designed to save. Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman points us to two case studies – Ireland, which rushed headlong into austerity, and Spain, which moved at a much more conservative pace. In June, while the press was full of lavish praise for Ireland, Krugman looked at the economic data,......In its latest economic assessment, the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development urged policymakers around the world to be careful not to choke off the economic recovery by cutting back on spending too much and too soon....
