London riots

[sandbender]

"...A friend sent me this speech yesterday written in 1972 I hope it doesn't come across as too political/religious, seems like a lot of good sense to me..."

Jimmy Reid's Inaugural speech on becoming rector of Glasgow university, I read through it when he died a few years back, well worth another read, we'll probably no see his like again.

I missed the moot this year but living in the wilds of Peck'narm lends a racy edge to the bonfire lighting although I doubt anyone used a fire-steel or friction methods.

I see the first proper sentences are in. 4 years for trying to organise a riot. Proper job!

There was someone on the radio earlier bleeting how harsh the sentences were, considering no riot happened. Surely that misses the point? If you plan to blow up Parliament, but caught in the planning, you don't get let off on the basis you never got to carry it out do you? Ask Guy Fawkes!

I agree with the harsh sentence's for these two,so long as the one's who actually took part/organised the riot's that happened get longer,and the ones that caused arson,and physical injury get much much more.

A puzzle for you. Rearrange these words in to a well known phrase or saying.
