Dear Mr & Mrs Cameron,
Why did you never take the time to teach your child basic morality?
As a young man, he was in a gang that regularly smashed up private property.
There’s Michael Gove, whose wet-lipped rage was palpable on Newsnight last night.

Nice piece and right on the money. Just make sure you only address it to his mother. His father died last year and it would be a shame for a well-constructed argument to be debased by Tories crying foul on your insensitivity.

Yes, I thought about that, but I think it underscores the point that whenever you blame someone’s parents you are doing so in utter ignorance of their situation. Whenever Cameron himself places the blame on parents, he has no idea if he’s talking to widows or the recently bereaved and yet he still feels quite confident in doing it. Yes, it’s crass and insensitive. It’s also exactly what he does.

How is he right ? , by employing the old political tactic of blaming the last government for everything , by trying to make it look like Harriet Harman supports the rioters because she blames it on the cuts being put in place by his government , cuts that hit the poorest the hardest .
The rich get richer and as usual the poor get screwed , I don't support what has happened but I do see it as the first salvo in a much larger period of civil unrest .

I have just stumbled across this post. My own thoughts would be to use social networking against them. What I mean is to use Facebook/Twitter eg; not to cause violence or rioting but to find out what businesses these politicians/criminals are involved in, and then use Facebook/Twitter to get people to boycott the said businesses. Therein lies our power, they are hit in the pocket. They will start listening. I may be a million miles offtrack here, its a just a thought.
