My Child The Rioter - The Product of The Nanny State

On Tuesday evening I watched a BBC2 documentary about some of the people who rioted last summer (see it here "My Child The Rioter"), it featured interviews with some of the families and people who took part.

One particular individual, Ryan (there he is above with his father), particularly stood out. Aside from being a cretin, he happily spouted a home spun theory that his thievery that night was a "political" statement. He then went on to say that he hoped that the police got hurt.

Quote:

"I wanted to see policemen being attacked

I wanted to see them being injured, I wanted to see them being treated the way they treat us. This was going to change society. Hopefully for the better."

His parents, instead of admonishing him, said that had they been younger they would have joined in.

Ryan is a product of the Nanny state. He has been brought up from birth to believe that he is entitled to everything, and that when life lets him down (as it does for most people) it is not his fault but that of "society".

The "anger" (faux or genuine) of those who claim that their actions that night were some form of protest against the police or the state (quite how burning down local shops and stealing trainers amounts to a "political" action I'm not sure) has arisen because the rioters have been told that they are entitled to everything, yet have realised that they cannot have everyhting.

Life, like it or not, can be pretty shitty at times. We are all "victims" of luck (good/bad), circumstances, upbringing, location etc etc. Those who are mature enough to understand that things don't always go well, and that even if you do your best you can sometimes screw up, don't go round thieving and buring shops down.

Sadly, the Nanny state has left vast swathes of the population in a permanent "child like" mental state (adults unable to accept responsibility or to grow up), where life's kicks and knocks produce an immature tantrum and a burning sense of rage against the "unfairness" of the world (as demonstrated by the likes of Ryan).

What should be of great concern to us all is that the future of our country lies in the hands of people like Ryan!

Nanny Bans Jerry

I am gemused to read that the residents of Aylesford have been banned by Nanny from filling up Jerry Cans (fuel cannisters) with petrol at their local petrol stations.

For why?

Nanny is worried that these may be used by erstwhile rioters to start a riot.

Fair enough except:

1 Aylesford is not an inner city centre.

2 The people who do this use the fuel for their lawnmowers.

3 Rioters and other dickheads tend not to bother wandering along to petrol stations to buy fuel, they simply syphon it off from other people's cars.

Excessive!

I was sorry to read of the sad outcome of a dispute between an elderly pensioner (Pauline Spoor of Hattersley, Greater Manchester) and the RSPCA over her old frail dog Dexter (18).

Dexter was suffering from severe arthritis and conjunctivitis, and in the opinion of the professionals needed to be put down to be out of his misery. Mrs Spoor, being human, couldn't bear to have her companion put down.

In May the RSPCA alerted the polcie to the dog's plight, and they duly broke into Mrs Spoor's home and placed Dexter with the RSPCA who put him down.

Mrs Spoor was then taken to court and convicted of animal cruelty. She was sentenced to wear an electronic tag on her ankle, and given a 3 month curfew preventing her from leaving her home at night.

Why would a frail elderly woman living in Manchester want to leave her home at night?

It seems to me that the above sentence is disproportionate to the circumstances. Sadly, this case has been ignored as certain publicity seeking politicians seem more concerned with trying to lessen the sentences handed out to morons who try to start riots using Faecesbook.

Nanny's New Five a Day

I am gemused to see that having ditched her derided "five a day" campaign for fruit and vegetable eating, Nanny has decided to launch a new "five a day" campaign.

This time it will be aimed at parents (not just those people who don't turn up to court when their brats are appearing for looting).

Nanny is to launch a TV, radio and printed media campaign to tell parents to play with, read, talk, praise, and feed their children every day.

Gosh..you mean you have to feed kids???

In a nod to the commercial benefits (ie expect lots of toy companies backing this, in exchange for some taxpayers subsidy and free PR), companies that make toys, children’s books and baby food will be encouraged to brand their products with an official logo.

It seems that "research" has found that the quality of parenting and educational influences in the early years of a child’s life have an overwhelming influence on their later progress at school and careers.

Well DUH!

Don't tell me that someone was actually paid to come up with that statement of the bleedin' obvious?

Poorer parents will be “incentivised” to attend courses to help them complete the “five-a-day” essential actions. They will be rewarded for attending classes with higher child benefit payments or annual bonuses.

Doubtless with all this nonsense being spoken about "moral decay" (hasn't Cameron ever looked at Hogarth's prints?), this campaign will receive even more prominence.

However, as noted above, normal parents (poor/wealthy) know perfectly well that they should play with, read to, engage...oh, and FEED! their children; they don't need the state to interfere in that.

In fact the more that the state seeks to interfere, the more people assume that it is in fact the state's responsibility to bring up their kids.

However, the "court absent" parents and those who think it normal that their "good little boy" carried a hammer taped to his leg whilst robbing a store (ie those who need to improve their parenting skills) will not take the slightest bit of notice of Nanny's advice.

Bollocks

Monday morning crashed into my life in a particularly jarring way today.

I made the mistake of watching 5 minutes of BBC Breakfast, at a time when two people (I know not who they were) were being interviewed about the causes of the riots.

In a nutshell here are the "causes" (according to them):

1 Children want to be respected, but feel they are not "respected"

2 Children should be heard

3 During the school holidays there is nothing for "children" to do

4 "Children" perceive adult authority as "oppressive"

Well then!

The above is utter bollocks to my humble view:

1 Respect is earned, it is not an automatic birthright

2 This is an adult world, "children" should not be heard at all and should have no say in how it is run.

3 It seems to me there is an awful lot that "children" can do during the holidays, yet many of them prefer to sit inside fiddling with their pcs or watching MTV.

4 Were adult authority that "oppressive" the little brats would not have been able to riot in the first place.

5 The age range of the rioters was between 10-25+ hardly an exclusively "childrens'" riot!

As said, watching this proved not to be a great start to Monday!

The Response To Social Unrest

I cannot say that I am entirely in agreement with David Cameron's suggestions that it might be a good idea to shut down social networking sites during times of "unrest".

1 It may not actually be technically possible to totally shut them down.

2 It is the technique used by dictators that we are pro-actively encouraging people in other countries to overthrow.

3 It will turn an issue that is in effect "criminality" into one that is a "political cause".

In short, it would be a very dangerous step to take.

Nanny's Children

These "ladies" from Croydon, interviewed by the BBC, are most surely the children of the Nanny state:

- They have no sense of personal responsibility

- They are selfish and self centred

- They are ignorant

- They expect things to be handed to them on a plate

- They have an inflated sense of "entitlement"

- They believe that they deserve "respect", yet will not do anything to earn respect

- They are morons

- They have no ambition, other than to fill their lives with worthless "consumer totems"

- They have no empathy for anyone around them

- They have no sense of responsibility

- They blame others for their own failings

They are truly Nanny's children!

A shopkeeper from Croydon, who lost everything, was interviewed and said that he has worked 7 days a week 14 hours a day for many years. He rang the police 3 times, whilst his shop was being attacked, and was told that he shouldn't waste police time.

Nanny stood by and allowed the mob to destroy everything that he has worked for.

The riots have, ironically, highlighted one thing; the fundamental failure of our society, where the state allows a mob to destroy the businesses and homes of the law abiding majority who work hard and pay taxes.
