living in the slums selling their options is the only way for them to survive. summertime in england took a doctor recently with riots and looting a flaring up that tries to find out why it happened. i'm joined by francis gilbert teacher and author he's written a book called the nation and is a frequent commentator on youth culture francis thanks for speaking to r.t. so what was your reaction to the riots and were you surprised i suppose i was shocked when i heard of happening in the near where i live but i was not surprised because i mean i think a lot of commentators have said this sort of thing. has been waiting to happen for a number of years now why is that. i think it's complicated and i suppose you could isolate a few factors firstly we have

a kind of run of disaffected socially disadvantaged. young people in urban areas or. maybe a couple of decades and they have become more and more become. divisions in society of god. and they've become less frightened of the consequences of misbehavior because actually they've been getting away with this sort of behavior for many many years and so i think what we're seeing is a sort of your culture. the kind of explosion on the streets in the your crucially in my book i define as a theatrical creature someone who. believes he wants the street to become their theater and the whole point of it is the sort of thing that we've seen on t.v.

where they're actually parading themselves and their power and smashing things up and this is been a problem in britain for you know a couple of decades so why now why did it suddenly i think. what's happened is you seen a group a small group of very disaffected alienated people who are on the internet a lot and they are becoming very good at seeing and getting people together in various kind of parts of the country so the social media played a big role in crude meeting at the politicians have been quick to dismiss the rise to see criminality but surely they need to take responsibility too isn't this a problem to the society they run i mean i would agree that i mean i think it is quite comprehend i think that yes there are some very disaffected alienated in quite very clever people out that from the under classes who are incredibly bitter

about the lack of opportunity and they incredibly ambitious as well i teach and i have taught disaffected a native teenagers who are very clever and they realize that you know actually realistically in the opportunities there for them are very limited for example and what they're facing so they go to university they're facing the mountains of debt they want to get a good job in journalism or law they don't have the print will support the richer people have they don't have the sort of networks that david cameron and his have said was to blame for the thirty forty years ago the vast majority of working class people working factories weren't may now mechanization technology means that modern western societies are dealing with. people who are not actually needed for work you have to generate some sort of enterprise culture and that is a real problem for us to sneer we've got

a lot of people on welfare. how do you deal with that obviously you need to. you need to kind of think very seriously about how how you keep those people occupied what about the education system is failing. i actually argued very forcefully not know that said education isn't everything as i've been hinting at you know once you've got rather highly educated group of people who know that they're not there haven't got huge prospects then you've got perhaps even more of a problem than if they were totally uneducated we also know we have a small minority of very disaffected illiterate poor so the education system has done well and i think it's that mix it's a sort of toxic mix of the bright working class kids and. a group of people a community play perhaps very easily educated or not though surely these kids

should know that violence is not the answer people brought up in a context where they have a kind of conscience perhaps wouldn't be doing this for a day and it is an insistence i just don't see the little education system can really help context with that if you are dealing with a group of people particularly from kind of fractured families in a growing up in quite a brutalized atmosphere it is a real problem to use a one off or is the energy more to come the underlying rumbling kind of disaffection of your brewery that kind of affects all of us in the day to day level i don't think that's going to go away. for many years unless we kind of reorientate the prospects for a lot of these young people so good to spread to europe do you think i don't know are i personally not i mean i say this in my your nation book. you know

french italian cultures so-called have a different kind of attitude to social behavior and it doesn't seem to be so much of report. because of the way for example a treat things like alcohol which again we have mentioned alcohol in britain plays a huge role in the perpetuation of anti-social behavior and causes mass kind of problems throughout the u.k. every weekend what is it about british society then. the means your vicious flourishes and has it always been the case i mean i argue in the book how to mean we are in britain used to be john ball who was this drunken fierce sort of yeoman type character who would basher foreigners abroad and that was a. that was two hundred fifty years ago

even people like david cameron move members of thing called pulling in society which actually actively encourages young man to get drunk and trash property. you know the deputy prime minister. a few years ago i punch someone in mouth or rain him posting that she was celebrated for it you know we have kind of as a culture an attitude to violence we've always joined in whatever was going on you know we kind of quite an aggressive adversarial culture. that really influences things as well it permeates into every level of our society you design it can be changed. i think i do think schools have a role to play and you know i have seen where for example in schools bus drivers have gone into primary schools and spoken to six and seven year olds and sharing them c.c.t.v. footage of themselves being stoned by your. talk to these young people about how

they felt and how humiliated they felt and not really for me was very convincingly getting young children thinking about other people's feelings and developing a conscience my work in. classroom but how does that transfer on the wide level of society you. obviously david ed miliband has said everyone in the testimony the spirit level which is the seminal book about inequality causing ultimately many of society's ills and we have a very. unequal society which. durations of rich and poor which have affected things no doubt so there's lots and lots of little things that need to happen really worry that this current government doesn't have a grasp of all sorts of nuts and bolts things you know they need to look at how the police are behaving they need to improve certain things with an underclass in

school they need to look at parenting moves we never personally in this country be not well governed we again have this adversarial system. that well. you constantly have these chopping and changing of policy there's nothing seen through in any kind of long term basis there's no consensus about education health whatever it seems of the government's wanting to come down very tough on the court granting handing out strict punishments and things. do you think will do more harm than good. we know. i mean again it's back to a kind of holding the scandinavian model of rehabilitation in finland in sweden in norway is the only serious way that you actually deal with these problems on a long term level but just bringing them up in prisons where which are overcrowded i mean these prisons are crime factories. it's and right in the prison

it's sixty seven percent of these people go into prison they come out and they re offend again the reaction in many parts of the country from communities. the launch vigilante groups clearly they're angry and they want a heavy handed response is that the answer i don't think the public are very well educated about how and why children come to do this so for example there's a lot of discussion around how parents should be hitting their children and you know disciplining them more is so much evidence and all my experience a teacher is that the children hit by their parents are the ones who are the worst behaved you know and that just doesn't come out in the kind of general conversation it's a sort of knee jerk reaction you know we need to be much tougher when we know it doesn't work in the long run ok so what should we do then if we say see thirteen

year old who walking down the street should we give him a hug i think again it's so much more. perhaps he should say hello building relationships with the community is very important this is something i've had with you know quite strongly on the web site and in my writing you know we have very socially segregated communities and socially segregated schools. where you have schools where all queen she come together where you have communities that actually know each other these sorts of problems are dealt with in a bit better fashion francis girl thanks very much thank you. can hear doctors policeman. ministers well i just. if you didn't find me if i could just live through the night that i would get my kids out of here because i knew that it was going to help him that he was going to

kill me many victims don't understand their domestic balance includes verbal abuse psychological abuse physical abuse and sexual acts at least four million women. are affected by abuse every year those are only two options i saw either i'm going to kill you know i'm in jail or he's going to kill me. takes fifteen to twenty million years for the planet to recover from a major extinction event for the planet is time we don't. it's been going on for about twenty twenty five years and since there's been an eco terrorist before there was even islamic fundamentalist terrorist in this country when the nine eleven happened the bush administration could not find any terrorists because the feds couldn't find any real terrorists they decided to take these young people

who are accused of property sabotage and label as terrorists someone you destroy property. with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind it's not fair it's real people who are green in this country are the housewives who recycle. and the children who play trees on the weekend with their cub scout troops that's the. sound. of.
