Enfield riots?

Just seen on Twitter and in a few articles like this, that there are meant to be plans for a riot in Enfield tonight and riot police are in the town centre?

Used to live there, and got family there (luckily a fair distance from the centre), but fucking hell! What the hell is going on?

It's becoming fashionable for men who murder women to say that the women "wanted it"., just like they secretly "want rape" . Many judges believe these men's lies that the murders are "sex games gone wrong"

Women though? You'd better not steal any chewing gum

Actually, the patriarchal reversals are out in full swing there in that Daily Fail article about the 22 year old woman. It is entitled The very modern face of a British rioter

When we already have hard data (BBC) which shows 95% of the rioters are men.
So it's the same old faces, committing the same old crimes

Men are murdering (what's the riot death toll so far?), women are stealing gum and yet it's women who are the "modern face" of the riots

Kiss my arse, Daily Mail

Have you not finished your sub-GCSE in gender politics yet, sakura?

I think that we have yet to see how this gross episode has yet to be played out. Politicians must provide the expected horror response and talk of 'pure criminality', but also the demographic mix of offenders will provide the lie to the belief that it is only the 'disadvantaged underclass' who behave pretty poorly when the invitation presents itself.

Women are being punished now for men's crimes.
Mother of man arrested in riots is served with eviction notice

Patriarchy: BE LESS OBVIOUS.
Punishing women now for men's crimes is taking the piss
Making women homeless, when they're already more vulnerable to rape, unemployment and institutionalization is the patriarchy taking the piss.

can we have this revolution already?

The day a father is punished and made homeless for a crime his daughter has committed (not counting these madmen who think a woman having sex outside marriage is a crime) will be the day hell freezes over.

"Single mothers" is being used as shorthand for "breakdown of the family".

That's wot I think.

"Have you not finished your sub-GCSE in gender politics yet, sakura?"

That's so unnecessary. Are we adults?

Most the rioters are male. However more benefit scroungers are female than male and the more we turf out of council accommodation the better.

The riots are not a gender or race or even class issue. They are just opportunists and the police didn't quite get their stance right at the start. It's all over now bar the shouting and soon it will be far too cold to hang around street corners. We never have riots for long in the UK.

The fact we have virtually no money in public coffers though means that if we can use the riots to help through measures massively to cut back state provision in all kinds of areas then so much the better. The gravy train needs to be stopped. We cannot afford it any more.

"Most benefit scroungers are female" Hmm. Such a considered post.

'The gravy train needs to be stopped. We cannot afford it any more.'

Then how can we afford the endless gravy train for the bankers?

ilovemydogandMrObama · 14/08/2011 16:26

am wondering whether evicting council tenants would fall foul of the double jeopardy rule as it would effectively be punishing someone twice for the same offense?

[......more benifit scroungers are female............and the more we turf out...............]
who do you class as a female benifit scrounger Xenia?

[the fact we have virtually no money............if we can use the riots to help...................................]

yep-this is exactly whats happening Xenia-it is being USED.

claig · 14/08/2011 16:45

Didn't the loving Labour party try to scrap the double jeopardy laws? Not sure if the Tories rescued it just in time or not.
