chipped chipped away you know who is it you said you know the price of freedom is eternal vigilance i think it was and thomas jefferson can we haven't been vigilant man i mean what do you think they're responsible ground for because it comes off the i think the winder scandal came of the back of the hostile environment came of the back of the ground. reeks of an incompetent government but also i've got to say you know it all too easy to kind of blame this country's all good at blaming the blame i think people need to look at their part in the process how they've allowed these things to happen because as i said earlier they just haven't been in the last two or three years and felt we've allowed them to take liberties with the people for thirty years and this is the end result of people being complacent. i mean one could say that the eighty's and the late seventy's it was a lot about identity politics feminism and the racism all these different things do you think there's more of an emphasis ironically on class and the uniting of all
4:02 pm
these disparate ideas into it is the ninety nine percent this time around. you know it's what is it's like you have this. put a pendulum thing where it swings from this way all the way that way to really the solution somewhere in the middle because it seems like there's almost an overkill going on at the moment and i guess i wanted to get a more distraction to distract you from actually bigger issues although those issues are very important to individuals obviously but i do wonder where they do it i mean all of a sudden it's just like all this nonstop nonstop stuff. and it should have been really been dealt with much earlier on in a much more thought out way and it's interesting now we have similar conditions economic racially so all the rest of it but i don't hear too many voices of dissent other than somebody like storms who is a real exception back in the late seventy's it was a movement you know i should say we have a lot of them on our show melissa phonics and dead time for the morning lots of

different brands all of to talk with you must come across who have with your radio show you see the the heightened politics arguably of guilt and then to queasy johnson. you where where or where did they go in their later years of their liquids joints are still around and not around jimmy cliff lately i don't think it's the right question i think the right question is where are those kind of people that are in that tradition and in that lineage in the twenty first century who we're talking about people what thirty forty years ago and you know the last half of the twentieth century you can see there was a tradition of these people who would come up every ten years johnny rotten we should mention john leyden he calls himself now but in the twenty first century it seems to me that flatlined why that is i don't really know i have a feeling a lot of it's to do with the aspirations of the young themselves because when we got into this business or this. it's
4:04 pm
a form of expression i don't like the word business back in the late seventy's it was an anti-establishment thing become the twenty first century it seems to me that a lot of people today the young want to get into it to be part of the establishment and if that's your goal i don't really know how radical you can be in a win early i was reading a story to a quote from benjamin zephaniah who's very much of the school of linton crazy johnson and he was saying you know i believe in an a clean revolution but everyone wants to go shopping and i think that summed up the situation in twenty first century very well and i mean i don't want to tar everyone with the same brush there are people out there that are trying to say something but in more cases than not they're not the ones getting elevated to a kind of a contract to keep them quiet shut up you're supporting the party we just want to party that new childish gambino video this is america that's all about that you know you can either look at the guy that in taney you in the front or if you look beyond that and see what's going on in the background it's kicking off i think very

4:06 pm
to me but you do have to be active in the process and the thing about young people is you know when young things either black or white you can kind of intellectualise the grey bits. and it does lead to anger and frustration but i think you know it's hard to criticize young people expressing that that expressing themselves that way when intelligent educated people act much worse worse with corporate crimes as far as i'm concerned and that's thought out criminality you know look you understand they know better young people you're asking young men who can't get a job can't feed his kids to be rational come on strangers often are part of the lyrics of many of these bands but you can see why there are some communities which ignore firing arguably violence in their music as the only desperate option against what they see as as austerity policies rather than your kind of organized ideas of
