The recent riots in Britain, which saw the destruction by arson of shops and houses, looting and wanton damage of property, has appalled all right thinking people in the country.
These riots were not of a political nature. They were led by a small number of young, hardened louts who by their actions encouraged others to join in. They were hooded louts of all denominations, coloureds and white, male and female. The police were initially caught off guard but when the riots spread to more than ten cities outside London, measures were taken.
These riots provoked an unexpected reaction from the law abiding inhabitants. About 85% of the population gathered in the streets of their towns, ready to discuss matters and ready to help clear up the mess. This was the British Bulldog spirit which was so much in evidence during the second World War.
One saw on television the Elders of ethnic communities discussing events with British born neighbours. This was like a real meeting of the Neighbourhood Watch. They all know their members, in particular the ones which are troublesome !!!
They all have the same ideals for their neighbourhood and realize that these riots and rioters must be nipped in the bud. The police must build contacts with these "Elders" and encourage these "Elders" to work with each other.
Britain should be thankful for the efforts made by David Cameron. Every now and again, not very often, when there is a crisis, a real leader makes his mark. This crisis could lead to the dawn of a new Great Britain.
