    Just watched the ads on Sangat.

    Am I alone in not being able to eat a curry again in quite the same way?

    thats a good post. how do you go about tackling inequality though? plus it doesnt explain why every disadvantaged person isnt out rioting. its only a small percentage of people thats causing trouble. if you have 1000 people rioting and maybe 10,000 not causing any trouble and they all come from the one type of background - whats the difference? whats causing the 1000 to act like thugs

    Inequality can never be "tackled" due to the current economic system. While someone people owe other people (or have to borrow) equality is impossible.

    These people are the first opportunistic rioters or trouble makers. Basically from a lower class demographic with a terrible social structure.

    Don't doubt their are plenty of these type of people in Ireland, Imagine a welfare cut of 50% or more here and Ireland would kick off too. The UK Welfare amount is actually quite small compared to Ireland.

    As austerity kicks in and opportunity's lessing you could possibly find more and more of a middle class demographic getting involved in this type of thing.

    I swear some of the parents of these kids should be sterilised. The police should send out the Child-catcher and arrest the parents when they come to pick the kids up.

    As an aside, looks like Sangat is running Linux, judging by their desktop which flashes up after every ad break.


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,311 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    :D at Sangat, class coverage, that's community spirit.

    I'm laughing at the statememts of "don't turn our back on us", well "what can we do?" and the blank stares.

    Closing libraries and community centres due to lack of funding isn't going to help. Whatever hope there is and I think these things will always exist, keep open libraries, boxing clubs, youth clubs and cut bureaucracy, people on 300/400k a year. Show an example.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    Did you see that man with the spear? That's the way too do it.

    One of the other elders had a bad ass sword looks like it would do serious damage.

    Watch Sangat for 15 minutes.

    It'll restore your faith in humanity.


    The presenter's enthusiasm is infectious

    Some trouble earlier in Leicester. Saw a few photos on facebook of smashed shop windows, but I think it's under control now.

    It's the end times. It was prophesied in the Bible that nations will fight among each other and societies will fall, that has been what has happening all this year, Egypt, most of the arab countries, libya and London it has spread to this part of the world. The world has never been as spiritually bankrupt as it is now on many levels. Nothing shocks me anymore I have heard it all.

    Sangat they tell the truth and they make their viewers feel happy :D

    On a serious note, surely this does not bode well for the UK . In less than a years time the olympic games are due to take place. Imagine these riots took place during a olympic games:eek:

    That Sangat TV is quality stuff.

    I learned that they make great sofas, and also you do not try and attack their temple or they will chop you up with swords and feed you to a big dog.

    the current economic system will never change so this type of situation will proably occur again. its always been the case that the rich get richer while the poor get poorer

    00.05 Merseyside Police are asking people to stay away from Smithdown Road in Liverpool, to the east of the city centre, as youths are "causing disorder", the BBC's Chris Eakin reports. (guardian)
