Speak for yourself? I don't know about you, but I don't consider myself among the idiotic, ungrateful few who have chosen to vandalise their own surroundings because they don't know how lucky they really are to live here.
of course you don't. i think by 'we', WoF meant people. not himself, or you, or your next door neighbour, but people. an average person on their own is likely to possess common sense and logic. a group of people are likely to be stupid, rash and fucking dangerous.

i wouldn't count myself among those that rioted, either. i don't think many people would. but that doesn't mean that some of them wouldn't be tempted to join in anyway for whatever reason, when it was right outside their front door. no matter how unjust, brutal or pointless their actions may be, people still influence and tempt those around them without even knowing it. the more the merrier, safety in numbers, three voices are louder than one, etc.

Besides, they've got nothing to complain about. They're everything that's wrong with the country in the first place.
and if we could somehow 'remove' these people from society, do you really think that over time no one would take their place? to say that these people are everything that's wrong with the country is pretty peripheral and just plain fucking stupid.

like WoF said, there's no smoke without fire.
