america watching are they going to live from moscow and breaking news this morning leaving rattles have reportedly seized control of most of the capital following a major nato back to the fans that according to the government saw thirteen hundred people killed two of colonel gadhafi sons have been arrested however the location of the libyan leader himself remains unknown but some sources on the ground have told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli fall and there is still confusion as to who is controlling the city. meanwhile massive celebrations are in full swing in the center of the rebel stronghold of benghazi but experts who draw parallels to the events in egypt warn of the disillusionment that will likely follow. and
12:31 am
disproportionate just as british judges are accused of overreacting cases ranging from recent riding to war veteran who recorded a court hearing human rights groups never raise the alarm over harsh punishments and often don't match the crimes. of the country's justice system that's come under scrutiny following the riots are to talk to british author owen jones about the problems in british society and breast exposed. i'm joined by owen jones author of a book called chair of the demonization of the working classes thanks to r.t. the demonization of the working classes what do you mean by that and what does that have to do with the riots i think there's been this myth which the political establishment and journalists alike embrace basically everybody in britain is middle class and all that remains of the old working class is
12:32 am
a sort of problematic fact within the class what we saw with these rights advocates it's i think in the sense because it's helped reinforce this are there is this travel in the class which is waiting you know which is not only lazy in effect with but also violent which is how the government rewriting commentators have been trying why is there this myth about the working classes how was it created and why the riots being blamed on them well i think what we saw in the 1980's in this country was an attack on all of the pillars of working class britain industries that sustain a lot of communities and institutions you know not trade unions council housing values which in communities were very strong that solidarity in favor of rookie individual of them by the end of the eighty's there wasn't the same sense of being been able to be proud of being a working class everyone supposed to seem to become middle class you know that but for aspiration means in britain so because of all that was that the working class
12:33 am
became a trade in a very negative way particularly as we became all equal and in a more unequal society people justify that inequality by saying that surely the people at the bottom of that because they deserve to be there they're lazy they're violent it's stupid and that is a justification for inequality and that's not to say that all social problems in this country like violence and crime or whatever. the religion. people merits of work in some of the communities worst if it's fact by the top to the thirty four employed people facing chasing every drop so i think problems what we saw last week another a whole range of other social problems i think all employment and poverty provide fertile ground for the growth so as not to justify it is just to try and explain why these things happen in order to stop it from happening again so using politicians have been quick to blame all of this on seeing criminality insane as it
12:34 am
is a broken society. that's just a way of covering up the ills of a society they've created an absolutely i mean basically what they're trying to do so a social issue into a moral issue they're reinforcing the idea that if you all particular benefits are part of mass unemployment that your behavior is at fault when actually you know in this country now there's a problem of lack of jobs we've got two hundred million people unemployed another million incapacity benefit are going to put into work there's less than half a million vacancies there's not enough jobs to go around this is very convenient for the government to say actually all these people on unemployment benefits are is their own behaviors that follow that sort of need to be so that's what needs to be sorted out not the usual grass that you know agree with some extent knowing that these people were clearly have no idea that violence is not the answer i mean no one's justify what happened understanding it's the whole are starting what has to
12:35 am
be this must never happen again people must never be terrorized in their communities as they were last week with what did five people out of a job only takes a small proportion of those people who feel they have no future to risk to act in this way to bring chaos and violence in the streets of our city and i mean there's other issues too i think i think consumerism and the society has a lot of responsibility in britain your status has so much to do with what you possess. and what you wear. for a lot of all you people want to be part of and she was society but there's a whole group of people particularly poor communities who feel they have no access to it and in a perverse way i think that's what we saw in places like hackney really got some of the poorest people living on some of the richest right in the sense of london and i think that kind of inequality mixed with hyper consumerism helped create that situation that we saw in a lot the shop you mentioned this inequality but the u.k.'s policy for some time
12:36 am
has been to mix rich and poor living in the same areas bring in council houses that have their own areas and vice a versa you know nothing else work then. i think the problem with vacation is you end up with lots of shops pricing out all of the people who live there actually pushes up the cost of living for the people but yes i think mixing and social mixing is good you only have to look at paris where the rich are concentrated in the middle and the poor concentrate on the idea the so-called don't know fact it's good to be mixing the problem in london is one of the most cities in the western world the top one percent are over two hundred sixty times richer and the bottom some percent so they see you have people living alongside some of the richest people in the world looking at lives they will all likelihood never help and what we need to do is tackle that inequality because at the moment people are getting a fair share of the british economy so how do you bridge saying well we need more
12:37 am
progressive taxation we need actors on the rich in order to take more people at the bottom out of taxation altogether and we need a living wage so people the bottom especially in places like london expensive cities on the planet and the way the country is just not enough to live on you can't support a family with it so these are huge social problems which aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top are richer than ever is also case then of the bad example being set from the top down i think being m.p.'s expenses scandal bankers bonuses still getting paid despite the crisis if we look at the end he's in particular he stood up to denounce these looters just three years ago they were embroiled in a huge expensive scandal let's be honest they were taking money from the tax there to get the same sort of wide screen t.v.'s that were being carted out of shops last week could you want example general councilman back. he still looked at them and
12:38 am
actually taken against the looters that he claimed eight and a half thousand pounds of bank and all of them televisions that whilst one. twenty three year old has just been sent to prison for six months for stealing three pound fifty worth of water to a right so yes we have a bankers plunged this international crisis we have the politicians stole from the taxpayer we recently have a news international scandal where police will be bribed by journalists what happened last week was more disorderly that all but the example of beings that are the top the way the government is dealing with this choosing it's a way for them to kind of legitimize right wing ideals of things like type of policing cracking down on social media i think these rights have been manipulated by the government quite frankly people are understandably angry and they're scared about rough week and no wonder people terrorized their own communities but what this government is doing is using that to justify attacks on people on benefits we've seen attacks on single parents this idea fatherless families are responsible
12:39 am
we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to scapegoat black people in black culture and we're now talking about an hour terry crackdown in terms of law and order attacks and civil liberty park government which promised the friends civil liberties against the attacks from new labor and even are used as you say attacks on the idea that social media requires power which didn't even happen in a lot of authoritarian regimes when they were poisons go about i mentioned david starkey you're involved in that debate where he. mentioned the whites of the come blacks and other courses there's been talk of multiculturalism being over the failure of it being the cause of these riots do you give any kind of credence to the argument about the racial issue coming into play these riots let me be clear about david starkey what he said was a very racist this was an attempt to scapegoat people this are the whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds the common factor with all of the
12:40 am
is poverty and unemployment and yet it's not just a creation what happened was completely inexcusable but if you have enough people who don't. to have a future of whatever ethnic background that only takes a small proportion and to respond in this outrageous way and in kind of the streets of london but multiculturalism and ethnic groups have nothing to do with what happened we still haven't seen the full effects of the austerity cuts things like higher education police start still planned and going through when it does these things things will get worse i think the danger is that these riots a dark force of much worse to come. the perfect storm because the cuts which haven't yet as rising youth unemployment the government took away the educational maintenance allowance which is paid to pour over sixteen your sustain education university tuition fees have been troubled all of these together will breed continue to breed huge resentment but more devastating really increasing
12:41 am
numbers of people who feel they have no they feel they have nothing to look forty and i think we can see a lot worse down the line in the courts the government's response many of prisoners is kneejerk but the same time since the mirroring public opinion the public want the government to crack down on the perpetrators and they want them to be punished severely to not sing us a good idea look people are angry people are scared because of what happened but this should be a test of democracy in a country like this. where although there's an inevitable backlash that should not let people allow justice to be subverted this country their government now talking of taking away benefits and council houses from those who were involved in the right now what that says is you will be punished twice for pick committing crimes if you are poor because obviously that will not affect anyone it doesn't account for harm and isn't on benefits now i think we need to be just as it got me through
12:42 am
proportionate to the crime and the idea of attacking poor people more than the whole pollution them twice is fundamentally unjust. and also a selfie take because if we take away all form of the income i don't forms of housing from people then what reason is there not to be involved in criminality i mean in effect because i knew means of survival so i think this is a near hysteria gripping and marched straight to this country and we need to visit stop i mean jones thank you. because you know song was sixteen years old when he committed these murders that's not to say that song so it should not be punished for his crimes sean is being punished no rational person and the neither song has been punished is being honest
12:43 am
and will be honest. as ours must be executed for the brutal crime committed this is my punishment this is not. a mention. that it's. because he's. been immersed know me whatsoever. and i didn't come here just. came here they first. started this small. child one thing. in mind that is now. way.

fire. break news this morning libyan rebels have reportedly seized control of most of the capital following a major nato back advance that according to the government saw thirteen hundred people killed two of colonel gadhafi sons have been arrested however the location of the libyan leader himself remains unknown but some sources on the ground of told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli's fall and there is still confusion as to who's controlling the city. meanwhile the massive celebrations are in full swing in the center of the rebel stronghold of benghazi. but experts draw parallels to the events in egypt warning of the disillusionment that will likely follow. and disproportionate justice british judges are accused of overreacting in cases ranging from recent rioting to war veteran bullock or the fourth hearing human rights groups have
