An exclusive poll for the Sunday Express today gives the Government a clear mandate on the way forward.After four days and nights of savage rioting in which five people were murdered, hundreds burnt out of their homes and thousands of businesses ruined, the country says a tough Army regime is called for. The demand comes as police expect to bring 4,000 children, youths and young men and women before the courts in the coming weeks and months.
ETCETERA
Look this is all very well if this was the 1950's. In many ways a typical Integralist solution; you fix a broken person by getting them to group identify; giving them a sense of responsibility, teamwork, discipline, - basically meaning in life. However, what about people who can never be integrated, who can never identify with us they are that flawed. the problem isn't criminality it is social decay - and even the armed forces cannot be expected to cure that until they are freed up to deal with the root cause.
Right wing politicians give lots of mixed messages. They want to return to some of the sanity of past times, they want social responsibility, duty, devotion, patriotism - at the same time they will not give the rewards of these virtues - which can only exist in a national state! Patriotism without a country, social responsibility without a society. It isn't going to happen.
