to think the fat kid on the london riot programme is...

[smoggii]

bullshitting to impress his parents and his peers?

Totally agree

Which one? The one with the weord curly wig or the one who looked like KD Lang?

Not watching it but thanks to bupcakes I'm intrigued about a kid looking like KD Lang...

trufax.

For a minute i thought he was an actor, and checked the tv guide to see if it said it was true stories being told by actors.

KD Lang is weird looking.

I don't believe a word that has come from Ryan's mouth.

Don't know about him BS, could be telling the truth about the fact he and other kids want to riot again, but i feel he needs to get his kicks in another way, other than looting and smashing up people's property. IDIOT

Sadly, I thought he was probably being serious. At the end of the prog it said that he was going to do a course in socio-political trainer-nicking & excuse-making (I paraphrase) at Salford Uni. He seemed bright but slippery. I loved the parents that were so anxious to raise him properly but had ended up outsmarted into believing theft and arson = 'protest'.

I thought he was being serious. But I actually felt sorry for him as I thought his parents encouraged his misguided beliefs.

I thought that he was being serious and I just couldn't stand it -as he got onto 'repressed working classes' I just switched off. Life is too short to listen to drivel!

And if he does grow up, he is going to be so embarassed at spouting this rubbish on tv

I think that was why I couldn't stand it lesley-he was so young and he will cringe with embarrassment if he sees it in later life.

Wasn't the mother with the kd lang kid odd though, he was more like her partner (and a rather old fashioned one) than her child. She kept defering to him, it was all very odd

I found his parents apathy alarming

Was this the chap who said it was a redistribution of wealth. If so I need a sofa. Can I pop into his home and choose to redistribute his wealth. He should have no problem with this. It would be hypocritical, non?

Was he a bit indoctrinated? I felt sorry for the blonde girl tho

Sorry, lost post.

I really don't buy the blonde girls 'I walked into the raided shop because i was curious', but I do think she got hit too hard for what she did.

I meant the one with the curly hair, but you made me laugh asking about the one who looked like KD Lang because i kept saying 'he looks like a lesbian' fully aware that all (most) lesbians look different from one another but clearly my head was thinking of one very specific lesbian (KDL) but wasn't relaying the information properly.

You could tell the dad of the kid with the curly hair was a bit of an ageing animal rights activist (or something similar) and that the kid was spouting his views but I don't believe for a second he really did anything.

And yes the mum of KD Lang fella very odd. And the upper middle class dad with his very 'street' son, surely that boy has lost credibility with all his pals after that programme aired.
