Rent-a-mob want civil war. No, no, that’s not right. England’s finest patriots (self-declared) want civil war, but not finding anyone to aid them, have rented a mob from English Hooligans United for the day.
A fun day out for school dropouts, drunken delinquents and petty criminals seeking a cause to believe in, a sense of belonging and an opportunity to exercise their beautiful vocal chords.
What a sad indictment of this movement that it has nothing to offer these young men except a momentary outlet for pent-up aggression. Nothing to offer them to get their lives back on track. Nothing to believe in that might actually bring about inner and outer reform.
As usual, the answer is always war. Outsiders are always to blame for their problems. Nothing to do with structural inequalities, educational failures, rising poverty, the promotion of ignorance, addictions, domestic violence and gambling.
No, we must never look within to bring about positive change. The answer is always this: “Fight!”
