Holy goddam shit, this is going to get fucking ugly.
I can't find a link to the statement not taken out of context, but sufficed to say that
in context Cameron's "phony concerns about human rights" comment was
even worse. If that idiot doesn't shut his mouth right now he's going to flip public sentiment from "these are violent, desperate criminals" to "anybody under a certain age who
doesn't pick up a stick and start breaking windows is a complacent moron."
I guess the capitol really is the last we're going to see of a long list of historical revolts against the British Empire. Wow. Makes you feel better about living in an economy that's just slightly fucked, huh?
EDIT: Ah, here we go - a straightforward report from Al Jazeera. The irony, it just flows like water.
