Hello everyone and welcome to my blog; Da-SoapBox. On here I'll be adding my two cents to various social, political and lifestyle issues primarily here in the UK and other major events that affect us worldwide. Read on I say, and don't hesitate to share your thoughts with me. Like it or not. I'm always open to hearing new ideas, varying perspectives and criticisms. Now that's my word!

Fiyah fiyah unu bring de watah...London is burning!

Isn't it amazing how the media has gone about branding the rioters of London as "thugs" and "scum" yet those same media houses have the audacity to refer to the rioters in Libya as " rebels." The politics of news reporting, the bias makes me sick!

They're all busy asking for the military to police the streets of London, yet they do not realize that military men are not trained to deal with or police civilians especially in their own cities and  towns.It's guaranteed to turn out a lot worse if this "tactic" is employed.  What's next, are we going to call on NATO to bomb the rioters!

Yes, I will agree that the violence is primarily in the "black communities" of London, I will also go as far as saying that majority of the rioters might be black, but the way in which the media has cleverly gone about labeling the blacks as "scum" when you can clearly see that there are Whites and Asians visible in the looting, burning and brick throwing is all politics! They've turn this into a "race" issue essentially.

There are no leaders of black communities in London, at least none with any essence, any charisma that can talk to and influence these young black men to stop. As one person put it, there's no Jesse Jackson! Let this be a warning to the UK Government of things to come. There's only so much you can put the minorities of London and the young people in general (most notably the students) through before they revolt, and it's not just in London, it's happening in the Manchester, in Wolverhampton and the likes!

My only worry is that this is going to overshadow the fact that the police appeared to have shot Mark Duggan  and then from the evidence thus far  have tried to cover it up. There should no doubt be a thorough investigation into his shooting and the officers involved in either the direct shooting and or any attempt to cover it up relieved of duty and of their pensions as well! People of Britain, that's my word!
