So. Why Did We Have Riots?

Our first job is always to treat the symptoms of a public order problem - which the ConLibs have manifestly failed to do.
Only when you are prepared to deal with such matters with tactics approaching ruthlessness can you then turn to the causes.
First of all, could you see this kind of thing happening in say, Switzerland or Denmark? - No? - Well that is perhaps indicative of nations and their differing characters.
Here are the primary reasons for the UK:
1) That the riots began is one thing - that they spread is quite something else. Why riot? - Because they could and were effectively granted licence to do so.
2) Fear of consequences at a later date were absent.
3) Our churches are empty - partly because of a concerted campaign by the liberal left.
4) The liberal left have overseen the dismantling of the traditional family.
5) We are assailed with moral ambiguity and the pretence now exists that there can be a veritable plethora of individual moralities which is just absurdity couched in clever language.
6) Evolutionary beliefs see man as 'a higher (But not TOO high) animal'.
7) Too many children are spoiled as an alternative to having responsible parents.
8) Parenting skills have never been lower.
9) Too many parents either fail to, or are scared to, discipline their offspring.
10) Schools either do not repair the damage - or with some leftist staff  - actually exacerbate the damage done in homes.
11) Schools are ambivalent in their moral teaching.
12) Courts do not punish.
13) So many come from homes which have no history of social responsibility and linked to this,
14) We have permitted the development of an underclass.
15) We have found it impossible as a society to absorb a multitude of alien cultures.
16) For those willing to work - jobs are at a premium.
17) Those unable to find jobs are discouraged from becoming entrepreneurs - with 'the drugs scene' and 'criminality' as possibly the only exceptions.
18) There can be a sense of hopelessness in 'the sink estate' you inhabit.
19) Your chances of 'joining' the middle class world you see around you are nil - as you have failed to make the connection between that and educational success. When you finally do - it is too late. If you have been in a class of louts - those around you soon overwhelm you.
20) You have virtually no chance to 'get onto the housing ladder'.
21) The liberal church does not preach a Full Gospel and tends to justify appalling behaviour.
22) The mentality of 'the herd' means that riots beget riots.
23) In day to day living, the police have made a compact with criminals as they turn a blind eye to minor offences. There is zero 'zero tolerance'.
24) We are 'a broken society' which believes that all problems are solved by 'government monies' (Whose?)
25) We are a society without 'shared beliefs and goals' like never previously seen in the entire history of our nation.
26) For some unfathomable reason, peer pressure is almost always a negative.
27) We have lost the concept of 'sin' and along with it - 'righteousness'.
28) The word 'greed' slips too easily from the lips of lefties when 'envy' is even more damaging.
I could continue. Readers of this Blog have been shown the development of what we have become by more than three thousand published pieces on here.
Please pass this Blog address onto others. This blogster may not always have the answers but in pointing society towards Christ -  much is offered and in directing readers reality rather than the utopian nonsense of the left - readers are at least directed to a path of practicality and righteousness.
