LACK OF GLOBAL LEADERSHIP BLAMED FOR MARKET TURMOIL Liberal Policies Could Soon Bring Riots Like Those In London To The U.S. By Brian, guest blogger for "News Hounds" August 14, 2011 On August 13, 2011, Fox News' regular Saturday morning "business block" was pre-empted for a special with the title, "On the Brink". Not surprisingly, host Neil Cavuto used the British riots to fear that liberal policies might soon bring the same violence here. Former member of British parliament John Browne blamed socialism and liberalism as the culprit of the British riots. Browne called the riots "legal looting -- legal rampage." He blamed "politicians with 20 years of liberal socialism, and of course, the politicians are trying to blame parents. Parents don't stand a chance when the schools are so degraded and dumbed down that they're actually schools for lawlessness, profanity and idleness. A lot of those politicians stole more of the federal, public money than any of these looters. They're looked upon by the public as crooks and irresponsible. Even the prime minister was using funds to decorate his garden. We've had a lot of problems: open borders, and therefore huge immigration and enforced multi-culturalism against the public will; the dumbing down of the schools; subsidies for single families; a leniency towards drugs; a disarming of the public so that the only people with weapons are the police, the armed forces, and the crooks; paralyzing of the police, really, they're so politically correct now; human rights legislation coming from the European Union which leaves them frightened to have any physical control or contact with potential criminals." While he spoke, footage of rioters, police in riot gear and burning buildings took up half the screen. Cavuto interrupted to deliberately suggest that we're in imminent danger here in the U.S. "The bigger problem to me is, this is not just Britain," Cavuto said. "We see riots across Europe; we see disturbances and worker walkouts, although not nearly as violent or heated in the United States - in Wisconisn; and I'm wondering whether there is just a sense here of no one being in charge." He thought that that "frustration" could be "panicking people." Browne took the hint. "It should worry people because in all our countries, we have the same disease which is liberal socialism, which tears down all values of society, which dumbs down the church, dumbs down the courts in favor of the criminal, the victim is not cared for at all. The problem is government. It's big government that is killing our economies. They're taking resources in terms of debt and tax from people, and they're over-regulating so as to kill businesses, and, basically, dragging our economies into a long term demise." ------------------------- 'Lack of Leadership' to Blame for U.K. Riots Earlier on August 10, 2011, John Browne, with Euro Pacific Capital and a former member of the British Parliament, was interviewed by Neil Cavuto on Fox News TV. Cavuto began by saying, " So, is the world fried? Unrest in Europe is spreading. It all started in Greece and Spain, now England, not to mention growing financial jitters in the likes of France and Italy. "The reason for all the craziness may vary, but my next guest says there is one constant through it all: lack of leadership." CAVUTO: John, what is going on? You just think it's a lack of someone coherent in charge? Is that it? BROWNE: Oh, no, it's not just that. I mean, that's part of the thing, of course. I think there's a huge feeling that there's a lack of leadership that politicians are out for themselves, they're out for big business, big bankers, and they're making hardworking people pay for it. They're spineless, weak, unpatriotic, and they basically have created an atmosphere of great uncertainty politically and economically, of great frustration. People that have good educations aren't able to get jobs -- and tremendous resentment over the European Union, where the British people have been pulled in totally undemocratically. Mass immigration causes problems, and multiculturalism, which is seen to be failing, and of course most of these riots are happening in multicultural areas. And that breeds huge anger, anger at the abuse people feel that politicians are subjecting them to. And it only requires a spark to turn that into riots. You know it's rather like in the old days, when I first went to Wall Street, the firms were owned by partners who owned the business and invested their money. It then spread into managers who used their customers' money to gamble. And that was one of the root causes of the trouble on Wall Street. And this has happened in politics in both our countries. It was once a calling, where people gave their time to serve their nation. Now they're in there as a career for big monetary reward and privileges. Think of Obamacare. We're all subjected to that high-cost thing, but the members of Congress get a special deal, not in it at all. And that creates great resentment and frustration. CAVUTO: That is well put. BROWNE: Same in England. CAVUTO: Well, you know what I see also, John? I see governments and a lot of political titans and even those in the business community continue to kick the can down the road, but in concert this time, and that's what worries me. BROWNE: Yes, it's a sort of a vested interest. And the problem is that we're under the dictatorship of the parties, as Jefferson so brilliantly put it, because in England and America, you're elected by pretty fair means into Parliament or Congress as a representative of the people. But once you get there, you become a delegate of the party and you do what the party says, or you lose your very rewarding and pension-protected career. And the problem with our democracy is that the politicians have become delegates of the parties. And the parties are greatly removed from the people and are only interested in their power and buying votes. CAVUTO: What do you think happens here? Where does this all lead? BROWNE: Well, it's rather like the debt situation. It's a huge problem. And now we face a recession in America and in Europe at the same time as we've got to cut back on the debt. And that's a very, very difficult problem. And we have underneath a population that says, my gosh, you're doing an awful job, and we want you out the moment we can possibly get you out. And that's a very difficult situation for all leaders. CAVUTO: For all leaders is right. BROWNE: And it means trouble. I mean, I have often said that civil unrest is a problem and a result. CAVUTO: Indeed. Thank you, John. --Copyright 2011 Fox News Network, Inc.
