Britain unrest the language of unheard

british polices

Socialist Workers Party (SWP) has said that the British unrests that have been sweeping the capital and many other cities across England are an explosion of “bitterness and rage” created by the coalition government’s austerity measures.

In a statement published on its website, SWP stressed that the recent unrests are “what happens in a society of deep and growing inequality, where there are great pools of unemployment and poverty, where there is systematic police harassment and racism, and where many young people feel they have no future.”

SWP said that the massive unrests were not about what Prime Minister David Cameron called as “criminality” or “mindless violence,” but the political slogans like “Whose streets, our streets,” an asking for “Justice” and accusations of the police have been the key elements of all the protests.

During recent unrest 1500 people have been arrested, and David Cameron and other politicians vowed to give police even more powers. SWP expressed its strong opposition at the so-called extra powers.
