Well, as the entire world already knows, youth in England have been rioting for several days now. As a result, the situation is literally heating up London (now less than a year away from hosting the Olympics), where several large fires have been started by rioters.
Keep in mind that it was not that long ago (a few months ago really) that the youth of London were rioting over higher college tuition costs. This time, it's possible cuts to social programs that have these kiddies upset. I'm beginning to think, however, that the youth of England just like rioting. "The more damage that can be done, the better" is what I believe they are thinking. Then again, that's just my honest opinion. However, British officials have been quoted in media reports s saying that many of the rioters are just coming out only to see something burn. That seems to back up my thoughts on this.
The future of Britian seems to lie in the hands of a bunch of pyromaniacs.
This can't bode well for London as it prepares to host the world next summer. Then again, there are some pretty rough people in other parts of the world, and perhaps a head-on run-in between trouble-making youths and "I can beat you into the ground with my fistskies"tourists is just what the kiddos need. Nothing breaks a rebellious streak in someone quite like a good old fashioned ass beating.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to see what unfolds next summer, when I'm in London for the Olympics.
