A follow on to yesterday's cartoon rant about the riots in England is this video rant by one of my favorite Brits, Pat Condell. For those of you who have never seen any of his video pieces I must warn you that he does not pull any punches and calls it exactly like he sees it.

That's what it's all about - controlling the narrative. Is it any wonder the Main Stream Media is now seen as the Lame Stream Media? With so many 'unofficial' media outlets available, controlling the narrative is more difficult. Just ask the folks running totalitarian states Iran, China, and Syria how well their efforts to do so have been lately.
And while there are racial components to the initial riots in the UK, I have to wonder whether the follow on riots were really more of a "Let's get a riot going so we can steal s**t" variety.
Here's an example of a reporter enforcing the Narrative at the expense of the truth.
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2011/08/rainbow-rioters.html
Quite illustrative, I'd say.
But in combating the Narrative one must have courage and face allegations of racism. It's not easy.
The gentleman, whom I've listened to before by your previous links, speaks truth.
But in his brutal assessment he leaves out the racial aspect of it all.
Steve Sailer says these are the Ali G Riots, with blacks in the UK acting as the cultural and physical vanguard.
http://isteve.blogspot.com/2011/08/career-ending-moment.html
Ali G was the persona of actor/comedian Sasha Baron Cohen before he became Borat.
John Derbyshire agrees with Sailer, going against his chestless counterparts at the limp NR.

The official story may very well not be the real one, as editors spins the message, as we have learned was the case by the NYT in 1991 when conflicts arose between blacks and Orthodox Jews:
