        I don't call it Rioting...

        England 2011 5min English ger 679 hits

        An antagonistic BBC interview with the writer Darcus Howe about the riots in England at the beginning of August 2011. Howe puts the rioting in the context of other revolts that have taken place:


        "I don't call it rioting, I call it an insurrection...of the masses of the people. It is happening in Syria, it is happening in Clapham, it's happening in Liverpool, it's happening in Port-au-Spain, Trinidad, and that is the nature of the historical moment."
