I predict a riot...

This morning looking online and through the papers I noticed there seems to be a petition doing the rounds demanding for anyone found to have participated in the looting to have their benefit payments cut

And apparently, Melanie Philips in the Hate Mail is blaming ultra-feminists for the riots. Where the hell is she getting that from?

[akcipitrokulo]

OK, even for her.. how the hell did that leap of logic take place??

[madwitch]

Because women work now, and don't always get married, and have more than one partner through the course of their lives. Apparently, the idea that the cuts in education allowance and to youth workers could have possibly had the tiniest bit to do with any of this is preposterous.

Oh, and multiculturalism. Not being told that our way is the only right way and all other cultures are lesser and bad is the other thing to blame. And we need our Empire back because we are the best rah rah rah.

I read it, so you don't have to. I feel a bit ill.

What does marriage have to do with looting?

[madwitch]

If you're not married, your kids will riot and loot.

[ditzy_pole]

Because unmarried parents don't teach kids how to behave in the world? What if it were a single father?

[madwitch]

He would probably be noble. I've never seen her comment on single fathers, only how evil single mothers are.

[ditzy_pole]

Perhaps a former partner of hers picked a single mother to date over her?

[madwitch]

HA.

Probably.

[akcipitrokulo]

Thanks - she's even more mad than I originally thought.

I like her usage of the word 'intelligentsia'. Like it's meant to disguise the fact that she's an ignorant right-wing troll or something.

Big words, little brain.
