This is a personal statement from a resident of Manchester, England.

I'm a "loser" in this society. I have a post-graduate education and will qualify as an English teacher this weekend, yet will still not make the average wage here in the UK. I will struggle all my life to be respected, accepted, verified or undenied. I do not attack my neighbours with baseball bats, nor loot my city.

Why?

If you are just a petulant child then you are not reading this (and would not understand anyway, so go play in the sand). For the rest of the world it's about society. Yes, I hate the bankers who have looted £Billions and will not pay for it with a second in jail. Yes, I hate the political classes who protect them and have ensured that their kids get all the advantages despite being morons. 

They live in streets, in towns, in cities, in a country - just like me. Although they steal for greed's own sake, they are as human as you and me. They need security beyond all things, just as the rioters do when they sit down again and think it through. We can all be reasoned with because society works, no matter how corrupt it has become, and because the alternative is terror for every level in our nation.

Make no mistake. Even if anarchy ruled, the rich would ensure it ruled more for the poor than it did for themselves. Riots only destroy what little you have and allow the elites to destroy more of your freedoms, to their own gain. 

Band together and support your community. Speak up for them - never forget that the votes are with the middle-class, not you and me. The elites don't care until they feel the anger of "mr and mrs average". So make your case to them and make it undeniable. Anything else is just playing into the hands of your class-enemies.

I cannot understand why my country, indeed any country, is planning to cut the funds to their police. As I am a student of history, including riots, I am stunned that a "state" is planning to cut its forces whilst at the same time implementing policies that will fuel disorder.

Talk to your MP, lobby your congressman, pray to your God...whatever it takes, stop your government from denuding your security forces.  This will get worse before it gets better.
