From the "No S**t Sherlock" Files...

Yankeefried sends in this bit of impressive buffoonery:

England rioters 'poorer, younger, less educated'

The most comprehensive statistics published so far on people charged over the August riots in England reveal they were poorer, younger and of lower educational achievement than average.



The government figures show 13% of those arrested were gang members.
That's the only shocking number - I would have bet that more were gang members. Then again, maybe the gang members, with repeated exposure to the British "justice" system, may have only gotten tickets... Is this really news? Did we really need a study to find out that rioters were, by and large, uneducated, unemployed, and repeat offenders (80% for adults!!!).
How about some other revelations for the BBC to investigate?
  • Marijuana use rampant at Cyprus Hill concerts!
  • Speed limit exceeded by Corvette and Porsche owners!
  • Condom sales spike at prom time!
  • UFO sightings seldom occur in cities!
  • BBC increasingly trying to prove itself relevant!
Okay, that last one might be a little too far-fetched...

That is all.

Leave the BBC alone until the day they cancel Top Gear. Then we invade.
