if you move soon from phones to. start time please don't. talk about it with the law from moscow and i'll break the news for you this hour libyan rebels reportedly gained control of the capital after a major nato back to advance meanwhile there are reports that two of colonel gadhafi sons have been captured by the opposition but the location of the libyan leader meantime is unknown. opposition supporters are rejoice hoping the forty year old regime is nearing a dead end but skeptics point to the disillusionment that followed the fall of egypt's dictator. and the international reaction now ranges from euphoria to outright caution is all about concern over the likelihood of an unstable rebel

government one apart by competing interests. but it's not just the u.k.'s justice system under scrutiny following recent riots the policies of a bennett talked of british author jones about the problems in society and the unrest exposed. i'm joined by owen jones author of a book called 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 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 a sort of problematic fact within the class what we saw with these rights advocates it's i think linked in a sense because well it's helped reinforce this are there is this travel in the
10:32 am
class which is waiting you know which is not only lazy in fact with but also violent which is how the government of light and commentators have been patrolling why is there this myth about the working classes how is 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 sustained a lot of communities and institutions you know not trade union council housing values which in communities were very strong that solidarity in favor of rugged individualism and by the end of the eighty's there wasn't the same sense of being being able to be proud of being a working class everyone supposed to seem to become middle class you know that that's what aspiration means in britain so because of all that was the working class it came to trade in a very negative way particularly as we became more equal and in a more equal society people justify that inequality by saying well actually the
10:33 am
people at the bottom of their because they deserve to be there they're lazy they're violent stupid and that is a justification for inequality and that's not to say they want social problems in this country right violence and crime or whatever but the real info. paper marks of work in some of the communities worth its facts by the top of the thirty four 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 growth so it's not to justify it is just to try to 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 criminality insane as it is a broken society do you think that's just a way of covering up the ills of a society they've created and absolutely i mean basically what they're trying to do
10:34 am
a social issue into a moral issue they're reinforcing the idea that if you or your 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 half million people unemployed and one of the million on incapacity benefit to go on with the push into work as often half a million vacancies there's not enough jobs to go around it's very convenient for the government to say actually all these people on unemployment benefits are it's their own behaviors that fall and that's what's need to be so that's what needs to be sorted out and not the issue regrets that do not agree with some of the stand knowing that these people were clearly have no idea that violence is not the answer i mean no one's justify what happened and understanding it is 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 only takes
10:35 am
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 portability 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 the poorest people living on some of the richest right in the center of london and i think that kind of inequality mix with hyper consumerism helps create that situation that we saw in the shop you mentioned this inequality in the u.k. is causing for some time has been some mix rich and poor living in the same areas bringing a council houses and filling areas and vice a versa you know nothing else works. i think the problem. is you end up with shops
10:36 am
pricing out a lot 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 go not effect it's good to be mixing the problem in london is when the most cities in the western world the top ten percent are over two hundred sixty times richer and the bottom ten percent so then we see you have people living alongside some of the richest people in the world looking at lies they will in all likelihood never. what we need to tackle that inequality because at the moment people are getting a fair share of the british economy so how do you bridge the gap well we need more progressive taxation we need those on the rich in order to take more people at the bottom and to. to get there and we need
10:37 am
a living wage so people bottom especially in place that look the most expensive cities on the planet in the world in this country is just not enough to live on you can't support a family with their so these are huge social problems that aren't being addressed and we have these problems at a time when people at the top richard that there is also. case then of the bad example being set from the top down for being m.p.'s expenses scandal bankers bonuses still getting paid despite the crisis if we look at the m.p.'s in particular he stood up to the now actually saluted just three years ago they were embroiled in a huge expenses scandal and let's be honest they were taking money from the taxpayer to get the same sort of rights continue these that were being carted out of shops last week give you one example general power from a. pig he thought looked at him and actually taken against the looters he claimed eight and a half thousand pounds for buying all of them televisions that whilst one twenty three year old has just been sent to prison for six months for stealing three
10:38 am
hundred fifty worth of water to the right so yes we have plunged into an academic crisis with the politicians he stole from the taxpayer we recently had a news international scandal where police were being bribed by journalists what happened last week was more disorderly than all but the example of 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 have been manipulated by the government quite frankly people are understandably angry and less scared that what this government is doing is using that to justify attacks on people on benefits we've seen attacks on single parents this idea of fatherless families are responsible we've seen recently david starkey the historian trying to black people in black culture and we're now talking about in florida terry crackdown in terms of law and order attacks and civil liberties by government which promised the defense
10:39 am
of liberty is against the attacks from new labor and even as you say attacks on the idea that foetal needed to be closed down which didn't even happen in a lot of authoritarian regimes when they were all poisoned care about you mentioned them starkly if you're involved in the debate. he. mentioned the whites and become blacks in other courses there has been talk of multiculturalism being all the failure of it being the cause of these riots do you give any kind of credence to the argument that 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 and this whole range of people involved from different ethnic backgrounds a common factor with all of them is poverty and unemployment and again it's not just that the creation 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 to respond in this outrageous way to think of the streets of
10:40 am
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 can still plan on going through when it does do things things will get worse i think the danger is that these riots a dark force over which worth. the perfect storm. is rising youth unemployment the government took away the educational maintenance allowance which was paid to pour over six in your fair in education university tuition fees are in trouble all of these think either will breed continue to breed but more devastatingly increasing numbers of people who feel they have no future they feel they have nothing to look forward to and i think we could see a lot worse down the line when the cuts hair the government's response many of those kneejerk but the same time seems to be mirroring public opinion the public
10:41 am
want the government to crack down on the perpetrators and they want them to be punished severely nothing that's a good idea look people angry people are scared because of what happened but this should be a test of democracy in a country like this that we are all very good. an inevitable backlash but that should not let people allow justice to be said to this country they couldn't and i'm talking of taking away benefits and council houses from those who were involved in the riots now what that says he will be punished twice for a pig committing a crime if you want paul because obviously that will not affect anyone it doesn't a council and isn't on benefits now i think we need to be killed before it needs to be proportionate to the crime and the idea of attacking. the court for publishing them twice is fundamentally unjust and also self-defeating because if you take away all forms of income and also means of housing for people then what reason is there
