in england recently with riots and looting flaring up next week try to figure out why and how. 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 you know heard of them happening particularly near where i live but i was not surprised because i mean i think a lot of commentators have said that this sort of thing. has been waiting to happen for a number of years now why is that. i think it's complicated i mean i suppose you

could isolate a few factors firstly we have had a kind of run of disaffected socially disadvantaged. young people in our urban areas for. maybe a couple of decades and they have become more more organized that become. divisions in society go. and they become less fright of the consequences of misbehavior because actually they've been getting away with this sort of behavior for many many years so i think what we're seeing is a sort of new york culture. the kind of explosion of trauma on the streets in the your crucially in my book i define as a theatrical creature someone in a believes he wants the street to become the 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 all need to eat a lot and they are becoming very. good nice seeing and getting people together in various kind of parts of the country and so the social media played a big role in crudely to get the politicians have been quick to dismiss the rights to see criminality but surely they need to take responsibility too isn't this a province of the society they run i mean i would agree that i mean i think it is quite calm pegs i think yes there are some very disaffected alienated and quite very clever people out that from the on the classes who are incredibly bitter about

the lack of opportunity and they incredibly ambitious as well are you teach you know and i have talked disaffected a native teenagers who are very clever and they realise that you know actually realistically the opportunity is there for them a 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 job in journalism or law they don't have the parental support the richer people have they don't have the sort of networks that david cameron and his have said was to blame for all of the thirty forty years ago the vast majority of working class people working factories weren't may now mechanization technology means what modern western societies are dealing with our large rum people who are not actually needed for work and you have to generate some sort of enterprise

culture and that is a real problem for us this net 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 look all right what about the education system is it failing mr. 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 the 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 lake

a manipulator 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 with day and it isn't the education systems i just don't see the little education system can really help contact with it but 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 do you think this is a one off or is the potentially more to come the underlying rumbling kind of disaffection of your brain 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 to the prospects for a lot of these young people so it could 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 and 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 haven't mentioned alcohol in britain plays a huge role in the actuation of social behavior and causes no mass kind of problems throughout the u.k. every weekend what is it about british society then the with the means your vicious flourishes and has always been the case i mean i argue in the book how to mean our mascot in britain used to be john ball who was this drunken fierce sort of yeoman type character who would bash foreigners abroad and that was a cruising agent for cologne. and that's that was what two hundred fifty years ago

even people like david cameron will members of thing called the building society which actually actively encourages young man to get drunk and trashed property. you know the deputy prime minister john prescott a few years ago i punch someone in mouth and reined him posting actually was celebrating you know we have a kind of as a culture and i have to treat a virus we always join the more level wars going on you know we kind of quite an aggressive adversarial culture and that that really influences things as well it permeates into every level of our society it is something that 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 showing them c.c.t.v. footage of themselves being stoned by your purse and talk to these young people

about how they felt you know and how humiliated they felt and not really for me it was very convincingly getting young children thinking about other people's feelings and developing a conscience ok was that my work in. classroom but how does that transfer on the wide level of society you could argue obviously david ed miliband has said that everyone in the labor party has to read the spirit level which is a seminal book about inequality causing ultimately many of society's ills and yet we have a very. cool society which ross connotations of rich and poor rich which have affected things down so there's lots and lots of little things that need to happen and i would really worry that this current government doesn't. know sorts of nuts and bolts things you know they need to look at how the police are

behaving they need to improve perhaps certain things with an underclass in school they need to look at parenting modes we never personally in this country be not well governed and we again have this adversarial system that has served us 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 you know it seems that the government's wanting to come down very tough on the court bronson handing out strict punishments and things will sort of do you think will do more harm than good. and we know it won't work i mean again it's back to a kind of holding the scandinavian model of rehabilitation in finland in sweden in norway is the any serious way that you actually deal with these problems on the long term level but just buying them up in prison is where which are overcrowded

and loonies prisons are prime factors explain. to me sitting right in the english prison to 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 a 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 teaching their children and you know disciplining more is so much evidence and all my experience as 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 and we know it doesn't work in the long run ok so what should we do then if we say see thirteen year old

walking down the street so we give him a hug well i think again it's much more. perhaps he should say building relationships with the community is very important this is something i've argued with you know quite strongly on the website and in my writing you know we have very socially said great to 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 francisco thanks very much thank you. 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 five years and since it's been a good terrorist before there was even a 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 them as terrorists someone he'll destroy his property up with with absolutely zero intention of harming a single human being. in my mind is not fair and 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 the tires our. time is.
