Libyan foreign ministry spokesman Khalid Ka'im has called on world governments to take action over the unrest in the UK. David Cameron has lost legitimacy and "must go", Libya's official news agency Jana reports. Libya "demands that the international community not stand with arms folded in the face of this gross aggression against the rights of the British people, who are demanding its right to rule its country", the report said.

That's genuine  :?

Food for thought, isn't it?

I coming across lots that hopefully push some people to take our media's take on what happens abroad with a pinch of salt some times.

Quote
Iranian newspaper Resalat reports. In an editorial on "Cameron's iron fist", the paper says the unrest is the consequence of the UK government's "human rights violations".

There's a lot on the BBC News "live riots" page.


Three dead in Birmingham last night :(

this is a pretty good radio report on the rioting, best i've seen/heard in fact.

Heard from a friend in Essen that rioting might spread to Berlin according to some German press.

What a complete and utter moron.

These are my favourite bits (by favourite I obviously mean "bits that made me even more livid than the rest of his bullshit"):

Quote
...strongly multiculturalist philosophy.

A central part of this philosophy is to deny if not denounce (literally to de-construct and de-legitimise) traditional values and unifying symbols.

Well that's just a lie. Multiculturalist philosophy is the embracing of the fact that virtually without exception all traditional values of cultures are the same at their base.

Quote
Under multiculturalism what precisely unites us? The Monarchy? Sneer - white privilege and oppression. The Law? Sneer - rich man's justice. British history? Sneer - written by imperialist winners. British economic success? Sneer - just the rich getting richer at the expense of the poor. The British public? Sneer - bring in more immigrants and let them stay in ghettos not learning English. British democracy or even democracy itself? Sneer - a tool of oppression and false consciousness. British literature? Sneer - too many dead white men. Family values? Sneer - repressed middle-class neurosis. Separating Right from Wrong? Sneer - oppressive class-based value judgements. And so on.

Ignoring the obscene condescension, hyperbole and pandering to bigots writing style of a total prick. What unites us? BEING HUMANS.

This clown wants a hammer in the face. Quite aside from anything else, multiculturalism has zero to do with these riots. But why miss a chance to push the agenda.
