And when others give
rational reasons why, poverty, social inequality, consumerism

Does that make you angry ?
These looters, do they not get:

free education
free health
free housing (where applicable)
benefits, including cash
free job training schemes

?

At some point, you have to take responsibilty for your own actions. I have been: homeless (at 16), addicted to drugs, banged up inside, an alcoholic. That's just for starters, I won't get into the nastier stuff.

Guess what I, and thousands of others in similar situations did/do every fucking day? Said 'fuck this', and did something about it. In this country, there is *always* a way out of a shit life, and don't give me any bollocks about 'oh but trapped in this that or the other blah blah'. I've been there, done that, got the fucking t-shirt.

Fact 1: I was scum
Fact 2: These looters are scum
Fact 3: They *do* have a way out, if they really want to work for it.

Is it hard to do, especially with such a hindrance right from the get-go? Yup, of course, but that isn't a reson not to bother in the first place.

Fuck excuses, fuck wanting someone else to hand you a way out, and fuck people who have never experienced being at the truly shit end of life in the UK babbling on about how it's inescapable.
