Mother of 13-year-old who smashed up shop blames government

A 13-year-old boy has walked free from court after admitting smashing up a shop with a stolen golf club as his mother said the riots are because the government does "f*** all" for children.

She is on benefits, does not live with the boy's father and has 10 other children, the court heard.

The boy's father claimed his son suffered ''police brutality'' because his parents appeared to be under the impression when they took him to police on Friday he would be released before going to court.
Telegraph

This is great.  The mother get a paycheck every month from the state (probably lives in a council estate as well) and claims the government does nothing for kids.  The dysfunctional response from the district judge congratulating the woman on spawning ten children is mind-boggling.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Most days, I listen to the BBC all day at work.  There was a pretty good exchange on this program last Friday.  I realize not all of them think this way, as you can clearly tell from the audience's reaction, but there are some are clearly waking up.  

Start listening at the 28 minute mark, after the woman's claptrap explanation.  I think it is worth a listen:
