WHY THE U.K. RIOTS?

Was it poverty vs wealth or black vs white? Maybe it was Islam vs the rest? Or  could it have been Gen X police vs Gen Y public? Perhaps even the impetuousness  of youth who desire change vs all comers? But none of these explanations work,  do they! Both rich and poor took part – both educated and uneducated, black,  white, Asian, Muslim and Anglican etc. Youth from just about every background  you can or cannot name who certainly proved that civilization is a thin veneer  of behavioural norms that rapidly peeled off to reveal something awful in the  UK.
Oh yes PM David Cameron did recall Parliament, where his speech  condemned mob behaviour as “criminality pure and simple”, and blamed gang  culture as one of the main problems and finished with, “Finally, Mr Speaker, let  me turn to the deeper problems. Responsibility for crime always lies with the  criminal. But crime has a context. And we must not shy away from it. I have said  before that there is a major problem in our society with children growing up not  knowing the difference between right and wrong”.
But Cameron hasn’t got anywhere near the problem even though he has  correctly identified the resulting symptom. Why don’t UK youth recognise right  from wrong and how come many who do, still took part in the riots and as one  young social worker who has probably ruined her career stated, she doesn’t even  know why she did it.
When PM Cameron stated, “We need more discipline in our schools. We  need action to deal with the most disruptive families. And we need a criminal  justice system that scores a clear and heavy line between right and wrong. In  short, all the action necessary to help mend our broken society”, then he and  all the political leaders need to admit the following before any fix will  happen. Right and wrong aren’t plucked out of the air! They are not definable by  man! Right and wrong only exist because a righteous Creator God revealed His  standards to man who was created in His image. But lifestyles acceptable to the  Creator are only liveable and loveable when that same Creator God empowers man  to accept and live by His statutes.
But where, through the changing tides in the affairs of men, were the  seeds sown for the growth of this youthful UK generation who don’t know right  from wrong? Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the devolution of UK youth into anarchy  and mob behaviour began when their parents and grandparents started to reject  Christ as Creator and accept Darwin’s evolution.
It was only after that point had been reached, that their political  leaders began to ban parents and teachers from disciplining youth and  increasingly refused students the opportunity of hearing about the real Creator  God and His Christ in everyday public life be it school or society. The same  parents who voted for these politicians because it got them all the welfare  handouts they wanted, and the clergy who didn’t yell to the heavens about such  evils, should not be surprised when God’s commandments about theft and respect  now have little meaning to many youth in the land. But you won’t win them back  by telling them your version of right from wrong, or fixing welfare funding, or  getting more police. You will have to start the job from the beginning and that  means teaching them Creator and creation. Start anywhere else and you are doomed  to fail!

Any country that bans God from government over the hearts of men,  will discover the truth of what was revealed by God to Jeremiah – the heart of  man is desperately wicked (Jer:17:9-10). Across the panorama of history men have  repeatedly cast off the social cosmetic that masks our sinful hearts, and the  reason is always the same but it goes way deeper than gang culture or failed welfare system  failures. There is a  real problem in the heart and the spirit of man and it is called sin, and it  began with the first man Adam who disobeyed the real Creator. Islam has no  solution – evolutionists can’t even admit it – social workers can at best  painfully try to cope with the consequence. Only Christ, admitted as Creator and  Saviour, can solve the problem, and He insists that all lies be exposed for what  they are, including the most popular and extensive deceit of our era - evolution.

With a year to go to the London 2012 Games, BBC London's correspondents consider how well prepared the capital is and whether the many promises made are being delivered.


"This is a juggernaut that's coming and it's not going to stop." The words from the man responsible for ensuring "the greatest show on Earth" will be safe and secure for all.
Chris Allison, the national Olympic security co-ordinator, has just a year before the Games start and the pressure is on.
"We're expecting the terrorism threat level to be severe," he recently told a gathering of senior police officers from around the UK.
"In fact, I think it will be right up near critical. They won't call it critical but it will be very close to it. The top end of severe."
This means a terrorist attack is "highly likely", according to the official grading system and comes despite the overall threat level to the UK being downgraded earlier this month.
'Consent of community' But Mr Allison was also keen to stress to his audience the style of security at London 2012.
"It's not a security event at which a bit of sport will be played," he said. "We sold the Games on the traditional, unarmed British cop providing the security, working with the consent of the community.
"It won't be policed by the military."
It will be a 64-day operation, from when the Olympic village opens to the time the Paralympic village closes.

With 34 venues across Britain, it is a mind-boggling task of planning, planning and more planning.

For instance, Essex Police will be looking after the mountain biking event at Hadleigh Farm and Surrey Police will have the athletes' village and the men's 156 mile cycling road race.
The latter will be impossible to fence off and therefore crowds won't have to buy tickets. The difficulty will be that officers will be unable to search or screen people.
Hertfordshire Police has the canoe slalom venue in Broxbourne while the Dorset force will police the sailing events at Weymouth and Portland.
National teams will be scattered across the UK and Olympic football matches will be held in Glasgow, Cardiff, Manchester, Newcastle, Coventry and London.
Soft targets Supt Simon Hawkins, a senior planning commander, said: "We only get one chance at delivery and no matter how many 'what ifs' you plan for, something unknown could happen."

There are 8,000 individual torches that have to be lit and passed on. This is one of the most vulnerable points of the whole relay.”

On peak days, there will be 12,000 officers, with three quarters of them based in London.

Transporting, feeding and accommodating them will be among the mundane but essential tasks.
The testing and exercising of security in London is already under way and yet Mr Allison, who's an assistant commissioner at Scotland Yard, warned: "If you secure the venues so the opposition [terrorist] can't get in, they will look for a soft target like parallel events linked to the Olympics but with less security."
Some of the other risks will be: ticket touts, fraudulent websites, protesters, domestic extremism, crowd management and even a potential heatwave.
And let's not forget there's a 70-day torch relay, which will run through every force area in the country.
At 5am on 19 May 2012, the relay begins at Land's End. There are 28 officers, who are in training now, to protect the 8,000 torch-bearers from being jumped upon by the fanatic, the foolish or the fixated.
'Torch kiss' One of the Met's key roles is to ensure the so-called "mother" flame on the Olympic torch does not go out before it reaches the Olympic stadium in Stratford, east London.
Supt Claire Johnson said: "The 'torch kiss' must take place securely. It is where one torch lights the flame of another torch.

A key role for the police will be to protect the 8,000 Torch Relay runners

"There are 8,000 individual torches that have to be lit and passed on. This is one of the most vulnerable points of the whole relay."
She added: "My team's overall objective is to ensure that the torch bearer has nothing else to worry about other than really enjoying their moment and spotting their mum or dad in the crowds lining the streets. I don't want them worrying that someone is going to take the torch from them."
Meanwhile, recent troubles at the top of Britain's biggest police force initially raised concerns about the delivery of the Olympics.
Sir Paul Stephenson resigned as commissioner over the News of the World phone-hacking scandal because it was apparently threatening to become a serious distraction in the run-up to the Games.
And within 24 hours, the head of counter-terrorism John Yates also fell on his sword.
Contrary to fears that the crisis could disrupt the London 2012 planning, Scotland Yard has said it is business as usual.
Low morale Mr Yates has been replaced by Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick, who was cleared of any personal blame in the shooting dead of an innocent Brazilian at Stockwell Tube in July 2005.
However, morale among the rank and file is said to be "at rock bottom".

Despite Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson's resignation it is "business as usual"

That is more though to do with imminent major reform and cuts in police budgets than losing their supreme leader, according to the Met branch of the Police Federation.
Its chairman Peter Smyth also pointed out that 20% cut in Whitehall grants could affect the ability of some forces to provide help with specialist roles like firearms officers or dog handlers.
A spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers insisted it is working with chief constables across the country to maintain resources.
The Olympic security budget is £475m, with a further £125m available. So far, that's thought to be enough although things could change from now until the Games.
But whatever financial straitjacket the government may be in, most observers agree that they wouldn't dare penny-pinch on security. The alternative of failure would simply be too high a price to pay.
