UK Riots: Government Prepares Troops, Martial Law
During the initial riots in Tottenham on Sunday night, police were criticized for ?standing back and allowing rioters to cause havoc.? This trend has continued throughout the three nights of mayhem, with eyewitnesses bewildered at how the police have obviously been ordered not to arrest looters and rioters in some instances.
We have been predicting the onset of widespread rioting and civil unrest for years, particularly in the UK. Last year we wrote that crippling austerity cuts would force the economically deprived to ?take to the streets with a mind set of nothing to lose if the government handouts they have become dependent on are drastically reduced.?
Make no mistake about it, these riots will be hastily exploited by the system to turn Britain into an even more controlled and surveilled police state than it already is. The riots achieve absolutely nothing aside from making the establishment look reasonable in whatever response it takes, measures which will be fully supported by a public bombarded with images of chaos, looting and burning.
