There is a side to modern Britain that the BBC is very careful NOT to explore. Every now and again we get a glimpse of what lurks in the post-modern shadows, as the mobs rampaging through several of our major cities last month vividly demonstrated. Even then, the BBC would not countenance the suggestion that something was very wrong with the people concerned. No, blame it on the police, blame it on the banks, blame it on the boogie even – just do not blame the feral thugs, and the gangs, and the criminal instincts involved So, I thought this description of modern Britain over at the Police Inspector blog worth sharing quite simply because you will never see it or read about on the £3bn + a year BBC;
“In Ruraltown, the elderly are like dirty, damaged vultures. They converge at awful jumble sales. They rummage and fight for socks and underpants that have been torn from the stiff corpses of their previous ancient occupiers.
In Ruraltown, I saw a dead woman in the doctor’s surgery waiting room. No one noticed until closing time.
It is always cold and dark. Unemployment in Ruraltown is, of course, staggeringly high. This part of Ruralshire is so divided along class and racial lines that it is hardly the old shire at all but a collection of tribal groupings.
Some of its outlying towns are concrete wastelands too terrible to describe. People travel miles to jump from our multi-storey carpark. They truly do.
Ruraltown is where the people of Ruralshire go to die. Ruraltown is twinned with Auschwitz, I know who got the better deal. If you have a dozen screaming kids, tattoos on your face and neck, a slot machine addiction and you love frozen chips and microwaved pizza, come to Ruraltown.
I defy you to find one person smiling, or even anyone who isn’t thinking “Why am I here? Why am I here? Why am I here? Please someone kill me,” over and over again, then holding their breath until they pass out. The crowning glory of Ruraltown, though, is its people. They will happily kill you with an axe while you wait outside the local chippy for a deep-fried Mars bar.
Black Lace refused to play here. Burger King actually closed down their High Street store because they had more trouble than any other town in England. Pre-pubescent skiprats and abusive old women in Kappa track suit bottoms hurl insults and beg for shrapnel from passers-by. In Ruraltown, English is a second language.
Welcome to my patch.”
And once inside Italy, heading here to become British citizens-
‘Telegraph’:
“Italy vows to transfer all migrants off Lampedusa after riots”

Perhaps BBC-NUJ-Arts could feature the following outstanding examples of wonderful ‘rebellious’ British culture on e.g. ‘Newsight’ Review, with e.g. the ‘rebellious’ Ms Wark:
Captured on our streets by a foreign lens, shaming images that turned Britain into a laughing stock at international photo festival
BBC-NUJ-Arts seems a little slow to say what their anti-Israel chums are up to now:
-those boycotters, disrupters and censors of Israeli musicians (and of their non-Israeli audience, and of the non-Israeli conductor, Zubin Mehta) are now demanding that their actions to ban Israeli musicians go unpunished!
“‘Philharmonic Four’ in Proms protest backed by Mike Leigh and David Loach”

Norman Lebrecht has this. Check out the names. Funnily enough, Stephen Isserlis condemned the disruption of the IPO, but also criticises the suspension of the four LPO members for signing that infamous letter.
The argument hinges on the unauthorised inclusion of ‘LPO’ after their signatures. It seems that they used it to give themselves added credibility, but it also gave the erroneous impression that the orchestra endorsed their view.
What is quite annoying is that celebs use their fame and celebrity status to give their views importance, as though their fame alone was enough to confer expertise on every issue they choose to meddle in, upon them.
Not for INBBC ears:
“The OAE must suspend its anti-Israel musicians”
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/igortoronyilalic2/100056279/the-oae-must-suspend-its-anti-israel-musicians/
Some frightening comments there.
The cops hate the bankers as much as the BBC does, hate them even more than ACPO. Many commenters on that blog openly supported the ideals behind the “student” riots from a few months ago. And if you spend time reading, you’ll see that they all hate the Tories for the pension cuts, and quite a few are close to ignoring the ringing phone next time they’re called in for extra riot duty. And regardless of the factors which created this feral class (they know it’s mostly due to a Labour-induced benefits and poor justice system with the lightest possible sentences) they will still all vote Labour to a man (or woman).
I forgot to add that Inspector Gadget is not talking about the blacks or browns in that piece. He’s talking about white people as much as anyone else. It’s wrong to associate Multiculturalism there. Wrong.
Out of interest, how long have you been reading the Gadget blog, David?
A couple years at least, and fairly regularly. I checked it a lot during the riots last month, during the “student” riots, and read most comments. It’s fascinating stuff a lot of the time.
On and off – for ages. Very insightful
The piece was brought to my attention. I do take your point and will amend the title!
Thanks, DV. Much appreciated.
Seriously, though, IG and his crew are very big on complaining about the crap sentencing laws and weak-ass magistrates who let serial offenders walk free on a regular basis, pathetic social services who allow sickness to fester, wasteful ACPO-driven target policing, and especially the Leftoid/BBC vicious blaming of the front-line police for the devastation caused by said riots, whining about how kettling is the problem, etc., all in tune with much of what is said on this blog on those issues.
He even actually liked Theresa May for about five minutes, until the target hassles didn’t stop like she said they would.
Forgot to mention Travellers. 🙂
