Reaping the harvest of the welfare state...

Punk Rockers

White riot - a riot of my own

And everybodys smashing things now
I said everybodys smashing things now yeah
The Damned Smash it Up 1979
Get Pissed, destroy
Sex Pistols Anarchy In The UK 1977.

Punk Rock- produced by the first generation of youngsters born and bred on the misguided socialist regime of the welfare state. White middle class kids, bored with the comfort of suburbia, peddling some fantasy of mean streets and rioting borrowed from the West Indian music the turned to in the search for something different.

There had been antisocial behavior before. Mods v Rockers, football hooliganism- young White working class males fighting among themselves. The Mods and Rockers phenomenon emerging just after the ending of National Service. The Hippie movement for all its 'protest' was a toothless middleclass affair.
Serious social disorder such as we witnessed last week only came to Britain during the punk rock era. middle-class art school thrill seekers.

The Clash, who famously supported terrorist groups like Sandinista, Bader Mineoff and the Red Brigade are often crazily cited as the most influential English group since The Beatles. They glamourised crime and disorder. 

So called post punk groups like The Smiths continued this assault on the moral values of British society- Burn Down The Disco- what sort of pop record preaches that?

This is the music that the parents of our current feral underclass grew up on.

Punk Rock wasn't a joke- it had a pernicious effect on society and we are seeing the end product of that now.

And Hip Hop music as well. Talking about crime over other peoples records. Wonder why they looted jewelers shops? Just look at a picture of any Gangster wrapper.
