Britain’s unentitled riot at the loss of their future

there is a broad underclass in the U.K. that lives with little hope for the future. Candidate Barack Obama’s books talked of “dreams” and “hope.” For the Brits who are rioting, there’s little of either. They have short time horizons with little invested in their futures. They have little to look forward to. They worry about today while tomorrow is the long run. Next week is irrelevant… London has the unentitled rioting at the loss of their future… Give them hope for a future, and you might be able to put the genie back in the bottle.

Stand up for good government, MPs

This is an occasion for MPs to stand up and be counted. We call for the three opposition leaders to agree on the text of a resolution in defence of census integrity and preservation of the mandatory long form, and to state publicly their intent to move it upon reopening of the House of Commons. In the spirit of democracy and non-partisanship, the vote should be open, unconstrained by party whips. Parliamentary endorsement of the integrity of the census would be a powerful affirmation of a core Canadian value.
