It's now been just over one week after the riots in London and Manchester, where people lost their jobs, their homes, and some five people tragically lost their lives.
Having said this, there are quite a number of people who are condoning these riots. They claim they are for 'the people'.
What about the people who died, and the families who have lost everything from their homes, and jobs, who have absolutely nothing left.
To me, the people condoning these riots need a good look at what happened. I honestly believe they are only taking the sides of the rioters because they hate any type of discipline.
The people who created the events on Facebook have been given sentences of four years. Personally I think this is a light sentence, if they never created these stupid events, people would still have homes, lives and jobs.
Nick Clegg has also surprised me, he said something I agree with, I know shock horror! He said for the people who don't get a jail sentence should do community service, and clear the mess they created. Completely agree with him, they should suffer the humility and discover where theres actions made, so are consequences.
The minority who where looting, burning and killing, need to understand they aren't the only ones suffering. Majority of Britain are struggling, and they have just made it worse, not only to themselves, but to the rest of us. What did they achieve from these riots, other than 40' TV's, IPods, phones and who else knows what else? Nothing, they got nothing out of it.
I hope people get the help they deserve, I also believe you have to help yourself before others will want to. If you don't make the effort, why should anyone else?
I hope the people who lost homes, and jobs get their lives back, I also wish the families who lost relatives get some sort of justice.

Rioting
Well, if I didn't know what was happening and had just turned on the news, I would have thought they were talking about Syria or Lybia.
The rioting in Tottenham is awful, and down right disgusting behaviour. This is Britain, a proud small country, despite this size, have power, I would say money but Labour took care of that.
I am a proud Briton, I am proud to say this is my home country, the place where I was taught wrong from right. The rioting in Tottenham was for Mark Duggan, a young man who had shot police officer, who then shot back, and sadly he was killed.
His family, who I have a lot of respect for, are obviously beside themselves, angry, and probably slightly lost. But to cause these riots in his name is absolutely revoulting. His family need support, not chaos. They need peace, time to get used to whats happened to them, and how they are going to cope.
The people involved are a disgrace to this nation, the people of this country (sounding like Blair now) and their families.
This is where our justice system needs to get tougher. When there is no consequence and no morals, why wouldn't they cause anarchy? We need someone or something that terrifies the young in to doing right, not wrong. I don't mean the death penalty, I can see reasons for and against, but there does need to be something within the jails or juvenile detention centres otherwise this will never end. Also the debt to clean all this up, well that will be coming out of our wage package, so thank you again rioters, for wasting mine and all working people out there's money, very considerate of you!
