TV accidently sums up the extremes of human nature

Panorama showed and interviewed the perpetrators, witnesses, politicians, community leaders, shop keepers and the like last night on a doc that could have been 7 hours long but still wouldn't have got closer to understanding modern Britain's latest 'inner city problems'. There seems to be a major schism in folk's attitudes and opinions to what happened. Maybe The Mail and Guardian should have a fight. Perhaps The 2012 Olympics Committee should invent street violence and looting as a new sport. We might win a gold after all. Then we could market it as a game and put the enormous profits back into society.
After that there was an amazing Horizon programme about people at the cutting edge of telescope technology and astrophysics searching for black holes to help us understand what's going on out there in the known/unknown universe. Apparently we're entering a golden age of astronomy so I'm off to shoplift a telescope. See you on YouTube.

Last Night's Official Report of The Dalston Kerfuffle.

11 o'clock at night in a boarded-up Dalston. People were marauding, loud, setting fire to anything that would combust, kicking in windows, police vehicles screaming, cops trying in vain to calm everything down, foul insults were hurled from both sides. It was, in equal parts, terrifying, hilarious, bewildering, sad and vile.

Then, suddenly and quietly, the Turkish gentlemen gathered and stretched across the street in a taut line armed with nothing more than sticks, bats, ill-fitting suit jackets, football shirts and an ancient warrior spirit. They then dissipated the hoodie/looter/anarchist-wanker faction with such nerve and power, it was breathtaking. They waited on Kingsland High Street and roared like animals as they charged towards the unruly throng putting the fear of Allah into all and sundry. The yobs soon fled to another part of London to raid more O2 shops, off licences, TV stores and Foot Lockers because "laak, dem police don' respec' our gangs, blud, yeah? Alweeys laak hasslin' our gangs, nat meen? So, laak, we deserve a flat screen, Blockberree and some treeners, innit"

As they quickly found out, you can't mess with a nation responsible for the Ottoman Empire and this simple failure to understand a fierce pride shows the lowly ignorance of the idiots. The cops stood back and let the Turks do their thing and afterwards, as our heroes returned, smiled in respect. All was safe again.
