Problem in London is a deep rooted issue, very complex and a vicious circle. -Young people unable to get jobs- some with bad attitude to work as their parents have never worked. Less emphasis on education and those who excell are discrminated in jobs whilst they see their old white classmates thriving. Parents working long hours to support extended families and thus have less time to have with their families. Teachers show less interest in kids who are disruptive and do not have enthusiasm to learn. Technology and gadgets- kids want expensive gadgets which they cannot afford, so they go to shop lift or mug others or bought by their parents- Police are called by High Streets stores that a gang of youths have shoplifted, they turn up and since the Kids know the "law" they resist arrest and police are heavy handed causing resentment. The reporting to Police about shoplifting leads to the unpopular stop and search. Parents too allow kids to be out late and sometimes do not know their whereabouts, they do not question what is brought home by the children eg gadgets, trainers, bling, clothes etc.
My question is how do youngsters afford Blackberry phones?

'Iran ready to send peacekeepers to UK'
Thu Aug 11, 2011 2:52PM GMT
Commander of Iran's Basij Force Mohammad-Reza Naqdi
Commander of Iran's Basij Force says it is ready to deploy peacekeeper forces in London as the unrest in the British capital drags on despite tightened security measures.
"The Ashura brigades of Basij forces are ready to be deployed to London as peacekeeping forces," Brigadier General Mohammad-Reza Naqdi said on Thursday, Fars news agency reported.
Naqdi criticized the British authorities for their harsh crackdown of protesters and describing them as rioters and hooligans.
"Unfortunately the crimes and violence of the autocratic British kingdom continues against the country's deprived [population] and not only the advice of well-wishers has no effect on the conduct of the regime's repressive police force but we witness the deprived people of this country are being called a bunch of thieves and looters," he regretted.
Naqdi expressed disappointment with the UN Security Council as invariably supporting oppressors.
"If the UN General Assembly approves, the Basij Organization is ready to send a number of Ashura and al-Zahra brigades to Liverpool and Birmingham as peacekeepers to monitor observation of human rights laws and deter use of force," he added.
Naqdi referred to UK Prince Williams' lavish wedding and the high cost of its live coverage and described the recent uprisings in Britain as the result of "big mistakes" by British officials and warned them of even more severe consequences.
"This is the beginning if the road and the UK regime has to pay the price for the massacres in Africa, wars and bloodshed in the Indian peninsula, crimes in China, the fall of the Ottoman Empire and bloody conflicts among Muslims and followers of other faiths," the brigadier noted.
He said the uprising in Britain even if oppressed at this stage is far deeper than a political unrest or factional conflict to be resolved easily.
"This wound will come to a head elsewhere…The people of Britain have awakened and will definitely take their rights back," he stated.
Naqdi condemned the use of violence against protesters in Britain and deplored the killing of Mark Duggan, 26, who sustained injuries in a shooting spree by armed officers in Ferry Lane in Tottenham last Thursday.
The father of four was killed after police stopped the minicab he was in to carry out an arrest as part of a pre-planned operation. Meanwhile, ballistic tests have indicated that Duggan did not fire at officers before he was killed.
Naqdi recalled remarks by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who had earlier warned of similar revolutions in Europe as those in North Africa and the Middle East.

'UK should accept Iran's investigators'
Thu Aug 11, 2011 5:22PM GMT
A political analyst says the British government should accept Iran's offer to send a group of rapporteurs to investigate human rights violations in Britain.
"There's a real concern here (the UK) that a huge number of people just aren't represented and are voiceless," Mark Wadsworth, editor of TheLatest.com, said in an exclusive interview with Press TV.
Wadsworth said that democracy is "broken" in England and the government has staged a massive public relations campaign to demonize young people who have been involved in the protests against the economic and war-mongering policies of their leaders.
On Tuesday, Deputy head of Iran's Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ebrahimi said Iran is ready to send a delegation to investigate human rights in Britain.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad also on Wednesday strongly condemned the violent treatment of British protesters by police forces.
The unrest in Britain began on August 6 in the north London suburb of Tottenham, after a few hundred people gathered outside a police station to protest against the fatal shooting and killing of a black man, Mark Duggan, by the police.
Thereafter, violent protests erupted in major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol, contributing to Britain's worst riot since the 1980s.
Speaking at a news conference outside 10 Downing Street on Thursday, British Prime Minister David Cameron said he had authorized the use of rubber bullets and water cannon by the Metropolitan Police to suppress the widespread protests.
The country's politicians, from the premier to other high and mid-ranking officials, refer to the youth protesters as gangs of criminals.

UK riots: To understand is not to condone
If questions are not asked as to why the violence happened, the next riot will soon be upon Britain.
It is easy to ignore the fact that the areas worst affected by looting and rioting are among the most deprived in the country (according to a report on deprivation by the GLA; Hackney, Tower Hamlets Camden, Croydon, Ealing, Enfield, Lewisham and Newham rank among the 50 most deprived local authorities in England on at least one summary measure of the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2010).
And that these same areas are the most affected by gangs (A 2007 police report identified the areas with the largest number of gangs were Hackney, 22 gangs; Enfield, 13; and Lambeth, 12).
It is easy to ignore the voices of those who work with the communities affected by rioting, such as Camila Batmanghelidjh, who has spent decades working with poor and disenfranchised youth. She writes of those looting: "Community, they would say, has nothing to offer them. Instead, for years they have experienced themselves cut adrift from civil society's legitimate structures. Society relies on collaborative behaviour; individuals are held accountable because belonging brings personal benefit."
It is easier still to ignore young people who live in areas like Wood Green, interviewed as recently as July, who said after the closure of youth clubs in Haringey: "I used to go to a couple of youth clubs [ ] now there is just nothing to do. We are just out here with nothing to do. We're just out here getting up to no good." And another, who warned: "There will be riots."
It doesn't require a tremendous stretch of the imagination to consider that these things might not be a complete coincidence. Conversely, to say these are the only factors would be wrong, as it has become clear that those rioting were not exclusively young people from the aforementioned communities.
However, it should not be so difficult to understand that listening to those who live and work in the communities affected by the riots is not the same as condoning the actions of the rioters. Quite the opposite, it is necessary to prevent the same thing from happening again.
