This loss of vision is now locked into a fate that excludes any possibility other than its own destruction.don wrefordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03678196396762734211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-53796179543090470872011-08-22T20:51:27.615+01:002011-08-22T20:51:27.615+01:00And there was Robert Stanley and Ian Tomlinson,

It isn't hard to see that Robert Stanley is a chain of opticians.<br /><br />Pilger is a brilliant writer, and that's a great Malcolm X quote, but I can't help feeling he's not so sharp when he says:<br /><i>many of whom were opportunistic, mean, cruel, nihilistic and often vicious in their glee</i><br />As someone who once suffered 30 attempted muggings in the course of eighteen months in one of the major riot areas, I had much less fear of violence from groups of kids during the time they were rioting than during normal times.skidmarxnoreply@blogger.com
