Re: Uk riots/looting/youth in revolt
its not even about that twat who got shot now its just lawlessness, personally I could see it coming as no one can get a job and if you ain't earning money your gonna commit crimes, and with the econemy going down the shitter in europe its making the recovery worse lol
Re: Uk riots/looting/youth in revolt
Yep been happening here in manchester too. Its basically just the scum of society looting shops because they saw others getting away with it in london/birmingham and liverpool. The police force is low in numbers and too soft on the offenders, bring out the water canons and rubber bullets. If that fails im all for the army being sent in and cracking some skulls.
Re: Uk riots/looting/youth in revolt
Typical soft liberal shite from the guardian. These people are parasites, they dont want to work or do any type of menial job (which are the only types of job they are capable of doing because they are thick as shit). These riots have no cause behind them other than kids wanting new trainers, clothes, LCD TVs ect. Its people like the journalist who wrote that article that make it possible for these scum to make a mockery of the police and decent people in society.

Experts: Social norms are no longer bound by rioters
Turun Sanomat 9.8 2011 1:28:19 p.m.
British experts caution against trying to find any reason to explain the rioting in London. One of the essential element, however, considered to be exclusion of young people and the fall of society and its norms outside. - This is not about ethnicity, religion or class. One of the strongest reasons for the division of those who have and those who do not. It is them who are left out, says ICC Institute's Director, Professor Mike Hardy Reuters.
Youth culture researcher, Professor John Pitts points out that many of the troublemakers are no longer any reason to behave in accordance with the norms of society.
- Many of the participants will be riots in low-income and high unemployment areas, and many of them just have no future, he says the Guardian newspaper.
Agree with the charity, The Place To Be's and Kids Company founder Camila Batmanghelidjh.
- We wonder how these people are able to attack in their own community? But the young people would "easily" because they do not feel they belong to. Community, they say, have nothing to offer them. They are known for many years had reached a loose social structures, Batmanghelidjh says the Independent newspaper.
He says many of London, worked at the grassroots level have long been concerned about how to create a society, youth groups outside their own communities, which apply their own rules.
- Each individual is considered to be responsible for their own survival, because the society is not regarded as offering them anything.

Unemployment drives young men to violence in the road
Young people are almost everywhere in the world is about three times more often unemployed than adults. Especially the idle and frustrated young men are easy targets for criminal gangs and armed groups recruiting targets.
18 per cent of the world's population is young, ie between 15 and 24 years of age. They constitute a quarter of the world's workforce, but more than 40 percent of the number of unemployed. The majority of young people living in developing countries where the population has a lot of employment opportunities and limited.
"In 2050, we have nine billion, and more and more people live in cities. Jobs are not enough for everyone. Coming soon is downright Darwinian struggle for survival", to predict the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of conflict and social issues Adviser Olli Ruohomäki.
The population is growing, jobs are not
At least 71 million young people in the world according to the ILO unemployed. The 2007 figures show that the youth unemployment rate is 11.9, while the whole world's average unemployment rate is 5.7. While youth employment has increased in volume over the past decade, the unemployment rate has risen slightly. The reason is that the youth population has grown faster than the number of jobs.
The public sector has been reduced in many countries, and the private sector has come in the same proportion of jobs to replace. This situation affects particularly young people, adults who are disadvantaged in the labor market, including work experience, owing to the shortage.
Generally, only the officially unemployed are those young people who can afford it: the other must be taken against any of the work. Thus, developing countries, young people often find work in the informal economy, such as peddlers. Working conditions and pay are often poor, disjointed employment and social protection of non-existent. According to the ILO for over 90 per cent of young people in developing countries, jobs are in the informal economy.
Young men at risk
Conflict, researchers have found that if young people have an exceptionally large proportion of the population, including the conflict sensitivity increases. Nuorisopullistumaksi phenomenon known as population increases young people's unemployment and social exclusion through it.
Often, developing countries, young people packed in behind the cities in search of better lives. The result is wandering the streets of a number of idle and frustrated young men who are in danger of falling into gangs or armed factions, as members.
Also, Olli grass hill, the young men, unemployment is the common denominator of conflict countries, although it can not be the only cause of conflict.
"Ideologies easy to bite people who have too much time. In the Middle East, especially the Islamic ideology is attractive because they are grounded in the promise of better," says the grass.
Ruohomäki has worked in the Palestinian territories in Ramallah at a Finnish mission. He says that in Gaza, for example, about 80 percent of the population is either unemployed, underemployed, or in the informal economy.
"Population structure reminds about the Giza pyramids. Young people have a lot, but for example, the agricultural sector is a small, basic services are scarce and the state of structurally fragile," he says.
Middle East youth population has grown over the last ten years, as much as 32 percent. While youth employment has improved in recent years, the share of employed young people is the world's second smallest. More than 20 percent youth unemployment rates are common in the area. Especially the young men on the streets making oleilevat lack.
"Being on the streets of young men with a family sociology. Women and girls are at home, older men may have a job or a better education, and family elätettävänään. Jengiytyvät Young men more easily," says Ruohomäki.
A similar development has also been seen elsewhere in the world. For example, in eastern DRC 95 per cent, youth unemployment has increased significantly armed groups. As a result, youth violence is that they are also often victims of violence.
Education does not provide a solution to
Young people's employment situation does not improve the simple ways, as it would require, especially economic growth. Some young people also need better training. On the other hand many developing countries, highly educated young people is already a lot of unemployed.
"Increasing university education is not a good idea. What would all the Masters? More important would be to increase vocational training and productive employment opportunities," says Ruohomäki.
Youth employment is improving, however, difficult for the current economic crisis, particularly due. They are threatening to leave the unemployed this year, up to 51 million people, some of whom are young people.
Similarly, in the long term future of the young people do not look good. Number of young people in Africa can be up to double by 2045. If unemployment is not brought under control, quality of life for young people just do not heal, and the problems inherited from the next generations.

Revolution, flashmobs, and brain chips. A grim vision of the future
Richard Norton-Taylor
The Guardian, Monday 9 April 2007
The MoD predicts more use of chemical weapons.
Photograph: Paul J Richards/EPA
Information chips implanted in the brain. Electromagnetic pulse weapons. The middle classes becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat. The population of countries in the Middle East increasing by 132%, while Europe's drops as fertility falls. "Flashmobs" - groups rapidly mobilised by criminal gangs or terrorists groups.
This is the world in 30 years' time envisaged by a Ministry of Defence team responsible for painting a picture of the "future strategic context" likely to face Britain's armed forces. It includes an "analysis of the key risks and shocks". Rear Admiral Chris Parry, head of the MoD's Development, Concepts & Doctrine Centre which drew up the report, describes the assessments as "probability-based, rather than predictive".
The 90-page report comments on widely discussed issues such as the growing economic importance of India and China, the militarisation of space, and even what it calls "declining news quality" with the rise of "internet-enabled, citizen-journalists" and pressure to release stories "at the expense of facts". It includes other, some frightening, some reassuring, potential developments that are not so often discussed.
New weapons
An electromagnetic pulse will probably become operational by 2035 able to destroy all communications systems in a selected area or be used against a "world city" such as an international business service hub. The development of neutron weapons which destroy living organisms but not buildings "might make a weapon of choice for extreme ethnic cleansing in an increasingly populated world". The use of unmanned weapons platforms would enable the "application of lethal force without human intervention, raising consequential legal and ethical issues". The "explicit use" of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons and devices delivered by unmanned vehicles or missiles.
Technology
By 2035, an implantable "information chip" could be wired directly to the brain. A growing pervasiveness of information communications technology will enable states, terrorists or criminals, to mobilise "flashmobs", challenging security forces to match this potential agility coupled with an ability to concentrate forces quickly in a small area.
Marxism
"The middle classes could become a revolutionary class, taking the role envisaged for the proletariat by Marx," says the report. The thesis is based on a growing gap between the middle classes and the super-rich on one hand and an urban under-class threatening social order: "The world's middle classes might unite, using access to knowledge, resources and skills to shape transnational processes in their own class interest". Marxism could also be revived, it says, because of global inequality. An increased trend towards moral relativism and pragmatic values will encourage people to seek the "sanctuary provided by more rigid belief systems, including religious orthodoxy and doctrinaire political ideologies, such as popularism and Marxism".
Pressures leading to social unrest
By 2010 more than 50% of the world's population will be living in urban rather than rural environments, leading to social deprivation and "new instability risks", and the growth of shanty towns. By 2035, that figure will rise to 60%. Migration will increase. Globalisation may lead to levels of international integration that effectively bring inter-state warfare to an end. But it may lead to "inter-communal conflict" - communities with shared interests transcending national boundaries and resorting to the use of violence.
Population and Resources
The global population is likely to grow to 8.5bn in 2035, with less developed countries accounting for 98% of that. Some 87% of people under the age of 25 live in the developing world. Demographic trends, which will exacerbate economic and social tensions, have serious implications for the environment - including the provision of clean water and other resources - and for international relations. The population of sub-Saharan Africa will increase over the period by 81%, and that of Middle Eastern countries by 132%.
The Middle East
The massive population growth will mean the Middle East, and to a lesser extent north Africa, will remain highly unstable, says the report. It singles out Saudi Arabia, the most lucrative market for British arms, with unemployment levels of 20% and a "youth bulge" in a state whose population has risen from 7 million to 27 million since 1980. "The expectations of growing numbers of young people [in the whole region] many of whom will be confronted by the prospect of endemic unemployment ... are unlikely to be met," says the report.
Islamic militancy
Resentment among young people in the face of unrepresentative regimes "will find outlets in political militancy, including radical political Islam whose concept of Umma, the global Islamic community, and resistance to capitalism may lie uneasily in an international system based on nation-states and global market forces", the report warns. The effects of such resentment will be expressed through the migration of youth populations and global communications, encouraging contacts between diaspora communities and their countries of origin.
Tension between the Islamic world and the west will remain, and may increasingly be targeted at China "whose new-found materialism, economic vibrancy, and institutionalised atheism, will be an anathema to orthodox Islam".
Iran
Iran will steadily grow in economic and demographic strength and its energy reserves and geographic location will give it substantial strategic leverage. However, its government could be transformed. "From the middle of the period," says the report, "the country, especially its high proportion of younger people, will want to benefit from increased access to globalisation and diversity, and it may be that Iran progressively, but unevenly, transforms...into a vibrant democracy."
Terrorism
Casualties and the amount of damage inflicted by terrorism will stay low compared to other forms of coercion and conflict. But acts of extreme violence, supported by elements within Islamist states, with media exploitation to maximise the impact of the "theatre of violence" will persist. A "terrorist coalition", the report says, including a wide range of reactionary and revolutionary rejectionists such as ultra-nationalists, religious groupings and even extreme environmentalists, might conduct a global campaign of greater intensity".
Climate change
There is "compelling evidence" to indicate that climate change is occurring and that the atmosphere will continue to warm at an unprecedented rate throughout the 21st century. It could lead to a reduction in north Atlantic salinity by increasing the freshwater runoff from the Arctic. This could affect the natural circulation of the north Atlantic by diminishing the warming effect of ocean currents on western Europe. "The drop in temperature might exceed that of the miniature ice age of the 17th and 18th centuries."
