Africa to send troops, food parcels to UK as riots spread
The African Union today adopted a unilateral resolution to deploy army troops and care packages to England as looting and violence spread from London to other major cities. Spokesperson Charity Khumalo said “We can no longer stand by while these savages tear themselves apart.”
The AU, meeting today in an emergency session to discuss the ongoing rioting in the UK, has declared that they will do “everything in their power to help bring civilisation to England”.
“It’s just so sad, you know?” said Khumalo, speaking from the organisation’s HQ in Addis Ababa. “Sitting here and watching them on TV while their society implodes. We cannot in good conscience remain idle and let it happen.”
The AU has announced a range of initiatives that Africans can get involved with to help alleviate the misery of the English.
“For instance, we have launched an ‘Adopt an English child’ programme,” Khumalo explained, showing journalists brochures featuring the faces of English kids. “If you donate a mere R50 a month, you can see to it that sweet little Johnny from Peckham receives a basic education, a pack of condoms and a pair of pimpin’ Nikes.”
Khumalo also said that the AU would be parachuting in dentists along with army troops as part of a ‘Feel better about yourselves, Brits!’ initiative.
“You can understand why they’re turning on each other,” the spokesperson told journalists. “You look in the mirror and you see teeth untouched by modern dentistry. It’s heartbreaking enough to make anyone put a brick through a Starbucks.”
The organisation also plans to air-drop care packages on major UK cities.
“Vegetables, mainly,” Khumalo confirmed. “We’re sending them vegetables and toothpaste.”
The AU’s flagship event, however, will be a star-studded rock concert to be held in Johannesburg, with all proceeds going towards the establishment of mobile libraries around the UK. Artists ranging from Mafikizolo to Steve Hofmeyr have pledged to perform at the show.
“As a humanitarian, it’s the least I can do,” Hofmeyr said yesterday. “I look at those photos of the adorable little beasts knifing each other in fights over looted X-Boxes and I want to hug them and give them a nice hot cup of Milo.”
Meanwhile, the week’s events has seen terrified South Africans in London and Manchester packing their bags for home.
“This country is going to the dogs, dude,” said Werner du Preez, a gap-year student from Johannesburg. “I’ve been offered a nice little two-bed place in Hillbrow where I can feel safe again.”
This is a spoof and not serious!!!

Iran ready to send peacekeepers to UK
Iran ready to send peace keeping forces to London.
Commander of the Basij (volunteer forces) in Iran Mohammad Reza Naghdi said on Thursday that the Ashura and al-Zahar battalions are ready to be dispatched to London as peace keeping forces to help restore calm to the troubled cosmopolitan city.
Speaking to a group of commanders, he strongly criticized British officials for labeling protesters as looters and saboteurs.
'Much to our regret the crimes and brutality of despotic British monarchy against the country’s oppressed continue,' he said.

Having just watched this, i watched the 'next up' videoJohn Marwood said:

and was so incensed i have, for the very first time, sent a complaint to my beloved Beeb.
When you wake up to the fact that your (paper) is Tory,
Just remember, there are two sides to every story.
Not that this episode was particularly equivalent to the riots of the 80's - more of a flash mob than an angry mob - but as 'Presuming Henryscat' has so consistently pointed out, we have failed to paint the proper looters* black.
*talking of which, if you do click on the above link, in the background they have the FTSE below 5000 - 49something-or-other - i don't remember that.
This all kicked off whilst I was in Cornwall, well out of the way of this lot. Friends of mine were Police on duty in Wolverhampton when it kicked off there. They've had days off cancelled, working 18 hour shifts for the past week.
Shoes has said alot that I agree with. There is a large element of our Country who have had years of life without consequence or responsiblity. Everything is someone elses problem to deal with or pay for, and any crime they have comitted results in little justice. I've read recent court cases from the riots where offenders with 20+ previous convictions are appearing yet they have never once served a day in prison. How can that be right? How can that be justice?
Society, and the Government have created an element in this country that expect everything to be provided but to do nothing for it. Families of three generations that have never been employed? That doesn't say to me that there are no jobs, it says to me that they simply don't want to work. It says it's easier for them to spend their life on the dole, having their children paid for by the state, having their rent and council tax written off. All of this because a Labour government spent 10 years paying these people off instead of getting tough and telling them it is unacceptable and will not be tollerated. Listening to the moaning, liberal left has led to this and I'm reassured to hear Cameron saying some of the right things about the future.
Cut their benefits, evict them and make these people wake up and realise that we don't owe them anything.

You could say that about a lot of other crimes.Jimbo said:
There are more people unemployed than there are job vacancies.
There have been problems in the making since well before the last Labour government.
I'm distinctly not reassured to hear anything Cameron spouts.
The lack of jobs is caused by our membership of the EU and our job market being flooded with workers from other European countries!henryscat said:
Labour won't do anything about it because they rely on thier votes and the Conservatives won't do anything about it because their mates in industry want the cheap labour so the average British worker (or would be worker) is stuffed!
