so much for children. and you're like tossing. in serbia multis available in regency. welcome back you're watching r t coming to live from moscow on breaking news slepian rebels have reportedly seize control of most of the capital folie a major nato baffin vanstone according to the government saw thirteen hundred people killed two of gadhafi sons have been arrested and there are reports of heavy fighting near the colonel's residence in tripoli but some sources on the ground have told r.t. it's too early to say tripoli's fallen and there's still confusion as to lose control in the city. meanwhile a massive celebrations are in full swing in the center of the rebel stronghold of
2:31 am
benghazi but experts who draw parallels to the events in egypt warn of the disillusionment that will likely follow. disproportion a justice which judges are accused of overreacting in cases ranging from recent rioting to a war veteran who record the court hearing human rights groups have raised the alarm over harsh punishments that often don't match the crimes. of just the country's justice system that's come under scrutiny following the riots artie's i'm about to talk to british author owen jones about the problems in british society the unrest exposed. i'm joined by jones all through a book called chair of the demonization of the working classes thanks for talking to r.t. the demonization of the working classes what do you mean by that and what didn't have to do with the riots i think there's been this myth which the political establishment and journalists alike embrace basically have really in britain is
2:32 am
middle class and all that remains of the old working class is a sort of problematic feckless underclass and what we saw were these rights complicate i think linked in a sense because it helps reinforce this are there is a survival of the class we can do right thing you know which is not only lazy in fact with but also violent which is how the government and lightning commentators have been trying to get why is this a myth about the working class and how was it created and why the riots being blamed on them when i think what we saw in the 1980's in this country was an attack on a lot the pillars of working class britain industries that sustain a lot of communities and institutions trade unions council housing values in communities were very strong that solidarity in favor of individual is a by the end of the eighty's there wasn't the same sense of being being able to be proud of being working class everyone supposed to seem to become middle class you
2:33 am
know that that's where aspiration means in britain so because of all that was the working class became a trade in a very negative way particularly as we became all equal and in a more equal society people justify that inequality by saying rightfully the people at the bottom of that because they deserve to be there are lazy or violent. and that is a justification for inequality and that's not to say they want social problems in this country right drugs and crime or whatever but the one in five young people narrative work in the community is worth if it's facts about it why it's like talking to the. thought employed people facing chasing every drop so i think problems like we saw last week another a whole range of other social problems i think all employment and poverty provide fertile ground for their 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
2:34 am
politicians have been quick to blame all of this on cheney criminality and say that this is as a broken society do you think 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 is turn a social issue into a moral issue and 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 and a half million people unemployed than of the million on incapacity benefit we're going to put into work there's less than half a million vacancies really not enough jobs to go around and it's very convenient for the government to say actually all these people on unemployment benefits are is their own behaviors that fall and that's what's need to be so that's what needs to be sorted out not the usual regrets that you not agree with some of these people who were clearly have no idea that violence is not the answer i mean no one's
2:35 am
justify what happened and understanding it's the whole starting what has to be this must never happen again people must never be terrorized in their communities as they were last week with what is five people young people out of a job that only takes a small proportion of those people feel they have no future to risk to act in this way to bring chaos and violence the streets of our city and i mean there's other issues too i think i think consumerism and lack of human 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. group of people particularly poor communities who feel they have no access to it and in a perverse way i think that's what you saw in places like hackney where you got some of the poorest people living on some of the richest right in the sense of wonder and i think that kind of inequality mixed with hyper consumerism helps create what that situation that we saw in the shop you mentioned this inequality
2:36 am
but the case policy for some time has been some mix rich and poor living in the same areas bring in council houses that have their own areas and vice versa do you not think that's work then i think the problem. is you end up with lots of shops pricing out a lot the people who live there actually put 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 of so-called fact it's good to be mixing but the problem is when the most cities in the western world the top ten percent are over two hundred sixty times richer in the bottom ten percent so they see you have people living alongside the richest people in the world and looking at live they will in all likelihood never help and what we need to do is to tackle inequality because at the moment people are getting
2:37 am
a fair share of the british economy so how do you bridge that gap where we need more progressive taxation we need actors on the rich in order to take more people at the bottom. of taxation altogether we need a living wage so people at the bottom especially a place like longer less expensive cities on the planet the minimum wage in the country is just not enough to live on you can't support a family with their families a 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 and having m.p.'s expenses scandal. bonuses still getting paid despite the crisis if you look at the m.p.'s in particular he stood up to the now to the looters just three years ago they were embroiled in a huge expensive scandal let's be honest they were state taking money from the tax there at the same sort of right after that shops last week if you want example
2:38 am
general power from a back and. he stood up to them and actually taking a salute is that he claimed eight and a half thousand pounds for buying all of them televisions that whilst one three year old has just been sent to prison for six months stealing three hundred fifty worth of water for the rights so yes we have a bank has plunged this international crisis we have the politicians he stole from the taxpayer we recently have the news international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened last week was more disorderly that all but the example being set by 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 are being manipulated by the government quite frankly people are understandably angry and they're scared 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 over
2:39 am
sponsible we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to scapegoat black people in black culture and for now talking about the voluntary crackdown in terms of law and order attacks on civil liberties by government which promised the defense civil liberties against the attacks from new labor and even attacks on the idea that social media requires power which didn't even happen a lot of authoritarian regimes when they were all poisons go on about the invention of the starkey that you're involved in a debate where he. mentioned the wants of the come blacks and other courses there has been talk of multiculturalism. or the failure of it being the cause of his rise do you give any kind of credence to that argument on the about the racial machine coming into play in these riots let me be clear about david starkey what he said was a very racist this was an attempt to scapegoat people this of a whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds
2:40 am
a common factor in all that is poverty and unemployment and yet it's not just education what happened was completely inexcusable if you have enough people who don't feel they have a future of whatever ethnic background they're only takes a small proportion and to respond in this outrageous way it's been kind of that if you look at the 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 still plan to be 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 problem. the perfect storm the rich have it yet this rising youth unemployment the government took away the educational maintenance allowance which is paid to pour over sixteen your theory and education and university tuition fees have been trouble all of these together will breed continue to breed. more devastatingly increasing numbers of people who
2:41 am
feel they have no future they feel they have nothing to look forty and i think we could see a lot worse down the line when the cuts to the government's response many of those kneejerk the same time since the mirroring public opinion and public want the government to crack down on the perpetrators they want to be punished severely nothing else a good idea but people are angry and people are scared because of what happened but this should be a test of democracy in a country like this. we're all very different inevitable backlash that should not let people allow justice to be subverted this can. the government now talking of taking away benefits and council houses from those who were involved in the riots now what that says is you will be punished twice for a pig committing a crime if you are poor because obviously that will not affect anyone because the council harm isn't on benefits now i think we need to be just. in
2:42 am
proportion to the crime and the idea of attacking portly poor more than the. pollution them twice is fundamentally unjust and also self-defeating because if we take away all forms of income and all forms of housing from people then what reason is there not to be involved in criminality i mean in effect that because your own means of survival so i think this is near hysteria gripping the magistrates in this country and we need to resist that own jones thank you. please. littler.
