Upper class fascist.
The Riots,Communities and Victims panel in Britain led by Darra Singh has cited school and police failures among young people for the riots last August. It says that there are 500,000 forgotten families who have no support. The riots were characterised by " opportunistic looting and very much targeted at brands " and maybe because of " excessive marketing ". The British government led by Prime Minister, David Cameron blamed criminality " pure and simple " but it turns out that causes were much more complex and included poor parenting, lack of opportunities for young people and materialism. Since Cameron sneaked into Downing Street with Lib Dem support he has increased college tuition fees, reduced public sector jobs, cut social services, increased taxes and has seen a vicious campaign against " benefits cheats " in tabloids resulting in disabled people being abused on streets. The economy contracted 0.3% in the last quarter of 2011 and unemployment has jumped especially among the youth. Unable to afford college fees and with no hope of jobs they are frustrated and seized an opportunity to take branded goods which they would not normally be able to afford. Guy Christian of the Centre for Social Justice, a think tank, said, " This report appears to expose the damaging nature of social breakdown and its impact in fuelling riots. The riots were a disgraceful warning shot from a drifting generation which is cut off from mainstream society." Meanwhile Eton educated Cameron invited rich people, who had donated in excess of 50,000 pounds to the Tory Party, for lunch to his official residence at Downing Street and Chequers. JCB Chairman, Anthony Bamford personally gave 70,000 pounds while his company donated almost 1.7 million since Cameron became leader of the party. Financier, Michael Farmer gave 2.5 million, hedge fund tycoon, Michael Hintze 1.2 million, Tory peer, Lord Sainsbury 1 million, property developer, Michael Freeman 380,000, hedge fund Chief Executive, Sir Paul Ruddock 520,000 property tycoon David Rowland more than 4 million, Michael Spencer 200,000 through his company IPGL and businessman, Fares Fares gave 60,000 pounds. While the BBC and the NHS are cutting services and staff, highly paid executives are reducing their tax bill by being contracted as a company and thus paying a much lower rate of business tax instead of income tax. Meanwhile hated Islamic preacher Abu Qatada has just been shifted to a much larger 4 bedroom house costing the local council 1900 pounds/month in rent. His brother, Ibrahim Othman said," He's really enjoying his new home. The inside is very modern. It has more bedrooms and a larger garden." Looks like only Cameron and Qatada are enjoying while the people are suffering.
