It is moments like this, when I get frustrated at some of the idiocy in our country. Not because I do not understand some of the pent up frustration that our country is experiencing, but rather the selfish attitude of some people. I actually feel a little embarrassed to live alongside people who feel the need to mug a man who is seriously injured – or an eleven year old who gets involved in looting from stores. When did these people forget the difference between right and wrong?
I mean for starters – is it really worth it? Yeah okay, you are stealing a brand new TV that you really kinda want, but where is their sense of guilt? I accidentally walked out of shop with a Valentine’s card once and felt awful, was about to take it back and my friend was like – don’t be ridiculous! So, I never took it back. I felt awful – I still feel a little bad. It is money coming out of people’s pockets and their personal lives that they are ruining. The government is hardly going to be affected by us looting our neighbours. Surely our taxes will just be increased to repair the damage, as will our insurance costs etc.
I cannot believe people have made other members of the public homeless – people they have never met. I really struggle to comprehend the need to harm others in this way. What possible good can come of it? If you are going to fight for your rights as people, as citizens of Britain, work with each other not against. In the long run you are only going to make your own life a lot worse – especially if you end up in Prison, or fined.
I do understand some of the unrest in our country and where it has stemmed from. But I do not think that behaving like a load of thugs and criminals will ever give anyone the right and respect to be listened to. It was the same with the student demos. The majority of students who demonstrated where harmless just marching for causes they believed in. Those who destroyed public property where a select few who made the rest of us look awful – and then people just think – "why give these students money, they are just causing trouble". The majority of this country is filled with people who do good, who work hard and see little reward for it.
So amazing to have the “Broom Army” who were involved in the cleaning up of London, people who seem to give a crap about where we live and have pride in it. I bet these people all have their own issues with our government and the way things are run, but they are helping each other out instead of setting fire to their neighbour’s business. These people should be front page news, and celebrated for their awesomeness.
