I hate everyone. Especially people like me.

And by "like me" I mean white middle class Londoners & ex-Londoners who are currently doing my fucking head in on Facebook for the following reasons

Oh Kasper mostly I am just in love with your new LJ name.

Oh, shit's going down. Looting & rioting and whatnot. Happily I live on Privilege Mountain and thus it is all Not Near My House, although admittedly some of it is within walking distance.

Ugh, there's a woman on my fb fl who keeps bleating on sarcastically about how these people aren't poor because they have mobile phones and taxpayers will be paying for the damage as though none of the rioters are taxpayers.

I would like to see her try to run her life with enough money to cover a fucking £10 disposable PAYG phone and nothing else. Jesus. Why do so many fucking well-off people fail to understand what poverty actually MEANS?

I'm having the same problem. Christ, it must be nice to not be the people the police pick on.

[apiphile]

Yeah, and it must be so lovely up there in their fucking ivory towers of "well these people are just letting themselves dooooown". Fuck off. Patronising dickheads.

It's interesting to note just how much more cynical about the police my BFF has become since she became a police officer, and that's not even the Met. I think the last few months have been kind of eye-opening for her.

Ach, the whole thing is such a clusterfuck.

[apiphile]

Well I hope she maintains that cynicism rather than succumbing to the Kool-Aid that L's best friend appears to have consumed since joining the Met. :S

Permission to repost parts of this, please?
Youve said it far better than I can to most of the idiots I'm talking to

[apiphile]

By all means but don't link back here, I have enough idiots of my own on fucking fucking facebook.

[lady_writes]

Thanks.
