BBC news reader Fiona Armstrong first clumsily insults him by introducing him as "Marcus Dowe" and then heartlessly accuses him of taking part in riots in the past, but let's hear it from the mouth of West Indian writer Darcus Howe fluently expressing the anger and disdain of all the disowned and disaffected youth of today whose double-shift parents are too busy being slaves to the Corporate War Machine, to earn their daily crust and pay back the mortgages on their insanely-over-priced houses and accumulate debt for Three Year Consumibles they can't really afford, to spend time with their families like they used to.
Hey, maybe You The People just need cancerous MARTIAL LAW in UK to teach your kids about a Free Planet of Creativity, Passion and Kinship - right? Maybe You The People need your feral offspring removed from your families to 'learn em right' in State Institutions - right? Maybe You The People need MORE PRISONS to correct those young minds by less-than-minimum-wage slavery - right? LOL at the simplistic mentality of the profit game.
My knee-jerk'd conclusion about these self-destructive riots that have infested our towns and cities in recent days? Suicide is generally a cry for help; a last-ditch effort to 'draw attention to a major crisis'.
