Britain has descended into chaos. A nation once famous for its civility has degenerated into an orgy of rioting, burning, and looting. Shops are smashed, pillaged, and burned. Shopkeepers and homeowners are attacked and even killed. There are many contributing factors but virtually no rationalization or justifications for what commentators insist on attributing to “deprivation.” Yet the intelligentsia insists, as the BBC did recently, on describing the rioters as “protesters,” an open admission that Britain’s political ideology is a major contributor to the mayhem. Even the conservative press avoids giving offense. Mary Riddell in the Daily Telegraph writes that more welfare “is the only solution.”

August 24th, 2011'They drive me mad, too.” That’s what the Prime Minister told me in a more innocent time, before the riots. Back in April, I was sitting in Number 10, reading him a list of the human rights abuses that drive the public to despair. I don’t mean abuses under the Human Rights Act 1998. I mean abuses of the rights of humans whose children have been mown down by foreign drivers with no licence, humans whose husbands have been stabbed to death. Humans still astounded by grief who have to attend a British court and hear a judge tell them that the conscienceless wretch who extinguished their happiness cannot be deported post haste or hurled, preferably, over the white cliffs of Dover. No, the wretch must be allowed to remain in our country because they have the right to “a family life”.
