Riots: Real leadership emerges

[Gromit]

While our jet-lagged political leaders desperately scurry from one riot site to another, trying to look credible, an unlikely voice of sanity emerges....

I assumed from your title you meant someone leading the riots. As it is it's one of the voices of sanity from those affected.

I've heard many since the start, most folk are alright, but it only take a portion of society to taint everthing :-(

Without knowing his politics in depth, his pleas for a quiet sane, peaceful multi cultural country and an end to violence would at this point be quite enough for me to vote him in anywhere. In light of the fact he has lost his child in the last 24 hours I find this man's restraint, eloquence and heartfelt common sense for the greater good impressive and remarkable. Tariq Jehan is everything which is good about Britain.

[Gromit]

You're not wrong NOX.

[Catapa]

Do we know how many people have taken part in the riots and looting so far? Is it a few hundred, more than a thousand, thousands, ...?

[emmie]

thousands, going on news footage across the country.

[whiskeryron]

I agree NOX & I am so sad & offer my heartfelt sympathy to this Gentleman for the loss of his son at this mindless & dreadful time.

[didoatwork]

I so agree with you Gromit. What a man!

[Bobbisox]

Gromit I apoligize, I wasn't aware your post was about the same man as I have put above,,,sorry

[Gromit]

No problem.

As long as Mr Tariq Jahan gets the recognition he deserves is what matters.

[pa___ul3]

all those little sh__ heads need to look towards Tariq Jahan to see what a real man is.

You are constantly knocking the Daily Mail Gromit, but still post their links.

Didn't the Morning Star choose to print such words of sanity?

[Gromit]

AOG.

I notice you still have no praise (unlike most others) for the words of this wise man.

[anotheoldgit]

I would have thought 'words of sanity' was praise enough.

Although admittedly you first used the phrase, are not others also allowed?

[Gromit]

AOG

I realise it is difficult for you to praise a muslim, so that Begrudgingly given praise will have to do.
