David Dene's "take" on the English riots.

Well, here I am in Spain with a 45% unemployment level amongst the "youth" and 21% unemployment overall.

Quite amazing figures. Violence and rioting - not much. It looks as though we are "going down the tubes", ie going "broke", and, with more austerity down the line, of course, the situation will deteriorate.

There is no light at the end of the tunnel as our economic paradigm is dysfunctional and suicidal.

It seems as though the English Establishment are seriously out of touch with the disenfranchised youth of England. The youth have been "seen and NOT heard" in the past, now, they are being heard since they are making news.

What does it mean ? What can be done to restore "order"? These are of course big questions, and to my mind, they require bold thinking, in the league of Roosevelt and Churchill.

The policy's of the IMF, World Bank, and Governments have created chasms between poor and rich, and, in England, the poor are rioting because they have nothing to loose, and, they are 21st century humans and are angry. In Spain they are Indignant. Interesting differences.

Young people need to have a sense of self worth and "reason to be" - that's the job the governments need to get down to. Governments need to get their heads out of their "financial bottoms", and start to create something that works out of the "turgid mess" which is fermenting in the world's financial capitals.

Maybe better still, flush the "turgid mess" down the toilet and start again. That is why "great men, or women" are needed, and fast. !
