Full Transcript Below - Truly extraordinary speech by fearless Black Woman in face of Hackney rioters 8th August 2011. Telling it like it is. Respect to this brave lady - listen to her people!

'' This is a fucking realtiy. Allow out burning peoples property.
Allow out burning peoples shops that they work so hard to start thier business.
Do you understand? That lady is trying to make her busines work and you lot wana go and burn it up?
For what?
To say your war-ing and your bad man?
This is about a man who got shot in Tottenham. This aint about having fun on the road and burning up the place.
Get it real black people. Get real.
Do it for a cause.
If your fighting for a cause then fight for a fucking cause.
You lot piss me the fuck off!
I'm shamed to be a Hackney person.
Because we are not all gathering together and fighting for a cause.
We are running out of Footlocker and theifin shoes. Dirty thiefs ya know. Tut ''.

1. Apparently the rioters are not speaking for the entire community.

Imagine that...

5. Thanks for the translation!

I am baffled by this "rioting". I've been watching the news on this for 4 days now and no one is saying what people are actually rioting about. I get that a guy was shot and that precipitated a response from his friends. But this all seems to be unrelated, like it was just an excuse to blow up.

6. It would appear that when austerity measures push already poor people...

... who have few resources (economic, social or otherwise)....

PEOPLE GET CRAZY...

I'm not making an excuse, I'm just observing desperation.
