this video is brought to you by
00:00:01
Squarespace these are sickening
00:00:04
scenes scenes of people
00:00:07
looting
00:00:09
vandalizing
00:00:11
thieving robbing and it has to be
00:00:14
confronted and defeated for 5 days
00:00:16
straight in the summer of 2011 England
00:00:19
turned into the purge innocent people
00:00:21
are getting hurt we all live in the same
00:00:23
Community why we have to kill one
00:00:25
another that's our five generations
00:00:28
1867 burnt a this was an insane time to
00:00:31
live through where social tensions had
00:00:33
bubbled up to such a point that it would
00:00:35
result in the biggest riots in modern
00:00:38
British history and it has spread for 3
00:00:40
Days running London's burning and no one
00:00:43
seems able to bring it under control the
00:00:45
violence what happens when you kill
00:00:49
people on the 4th of August 2011 at
00:00:51
88:18 p.m. the telegraph posted one of
00:00:54
the earliest reports of an incident and
00:00:56
in the article the very first sentence
00:00:58
reads is this a policeman's life was
00:01:00
saved by his radio last night after
00:01:02
gunman Mark Dugen opened fire on him and
00:01:05
the bullet hit the device so this was
00:01:07
one of the first reportings where the
00:01:09
information had come from the police
00:01:10
force and the police sources also said
00:01:13
that Mark dougen who was now dead was a
00:01:16
well-known gangster who had been under
00:01:18
surveillance by officers the man
00:01:20
29-year-old Mark Dugen was cornered
00:01:23
following a surveillance operation
00:01:25
According to some witnesses he refused
00:01:26
to give himself up it seems he shot a
00:01:29
policeman before he himself was gunned
00:01:31
down the information that you are
00:01:33
hearing at the time was being presented
00:01:35
as fact however the truth is the
00:01:38
situation was still being investigated
00:01:41
they didn't know that this is what had
00:01:42
happened this is just what the police
00:01:44
decided to tell everyone but it is
00:01:46
important over the coming hours and days
00:01:49
I think to allay people's fears and to
00:01:51
ensure that rumors don't start up
00:01:55
unnecessarily despite the MP's warning
00:01:58
rumors very quickly started to circulate
00:02:01
about the
00:02:04
scenario Marx georan don't know that
00:02:07
he's gone we can't tell them yet because
00:02:09
they're going to be asking questions we
00:02:11
don't have the answers to it so just to
00:02:13
put you in the shoes of the local
00:02:15
community imagine this is a tight-knit
00:02:17
community they all know each other
00:02:18
they've grown up with Mark they know
00:02:19
what he's like and they were a bit
00:02:21
dubious about the story that the police
00:02:23
were telling him they're portraying Mark
00:02:25
to be a gangster Mark is not a gangster
00:02:27
he's not known to any gangster is or any
00:02:30
gangs he's not like that mainly cuz the
00:02:32
police weren't really communicating very
00:02:34
clearly with them about exactly what had
00:02:36
happened and you were having bystanders
00:02:38
and Witnesses in the local Town saying
00:02:40
conflicting things some people saying
00:02:42
that he was shot whilst he was on the
00:02:44
floor some saying that he had a gun in
00:02:46
his hand some saying he didn't have a
00:02:47
gun some people saying that he shot at
00:02:49
the police officer and other people
00:02:50
saying that he tried to run away if he
00:02:52
did have a gun which I don't know if he
00:02:54
did Mark would run Mark is a runner he
00:02:57
would run rather than firing
00:03:00
understandably you would hope that the
00:03:02
police would sit you down and say this
00:03:04
is what happened but they didn't do that
00:03:07
they want an answers from the police in
00:03:08
terms of what happened to Mark D and one
00:03:11
of the other concerns is they wanted a
00:03:12
small senior officer to actually convey
00:03:13
those messages to them two days after
00:03:15
the shooting 300 people from the local
00:03:18
community gather outside of Tottenham
00:03:21
police station and have a peaceful
00:03:23
protest this is confirmed it was
00:03:25
peaceful they were just there trying to
00:03:27
ask for a senior police officer to come
00:03:29
speak to them and explain the scenario
00:03:31
but the senior officer wasn't available
00:03:34
to
00:03:39
talk 8:00 p.m. [ __ ] absolutely hits the
00:03:42
fan bottles missiles [ __ ] leftover
00:03:44
food was being thrown at the police
00:03:45
officers police cars were now being set
00:03:47
on fire and so this is where the rest of
00:03:49
the UK hear about what's going on and it
00:03:51
was pretty [ __ ] mental one of the
00:03:52
things even all these years later that's
00:03:54
very hard to pinpoint is the exact
00:03:56
moment it went from a peaceful protest
00:03:58
into a full scale right there was this
00:04:00
video that was posted on the 7th of
00:04:01
August where we can hear an old lady an
00:04:04
older lady of the community shouting
00:04:06
it's a
00:04:07
girl it's a girl it's a girl look how
00:04:12
he's dealing with her and very quickly
00:04:14
there was this initial rumor that was
00:04:15
spread that the police had attacked a
00:04:17
16-year-old girl who was peacefully
00:04:19
protesting so again just imagine the
00:04:21
mood of the community where now they
00:04:23
think a 16-year-old girl was being
00:04:25
beaten by the police they're already
00:04:26
pissed off and that's just made their
00:04:28
day a little bit worse however this
00:04:30
claim is at best a little bit wobbly no
00:04:34
individual no Witnesses no one has ever
00:04:37
come forward to the police and said I am
00:04:38
the 16-year- old girl or this was the
00:04:40
16-year- old go who was attacked by the
00:04:41
police this alleged woman was never
00:04:43
identified but on top of that the fact
00:04:45
of the matter is that the first police
00:04:47
car that was set on fire was reported to
00:04:49
have happened at 8:30 now bear in mind
00:04:51
this took place in August this is
00:04:53
British summer time therefore 8:30 would
00:04:55
still have daylight it would be light
00:04:57
but in the video we can see that this is
00:04:58
at night time so you know it just it
00:05:00
didn't add up but that did not matter
00:05:03
because we're in a new era now this is
00:05:05
2011 you got the internet you know
00:05:07
information travels fast you don't need
00:05:09
to send out a pigeon to the neighboring
00:05:11
Town anymore you could just film
00:05:13
something on your phone camera and
00:05:14
upload it very quickly to Twitter and
00:05:16
this touches on a wider part as to why
00:05:18
these riots got out of hand in the first
00:05:21
place and there was one very important
00:05:22
piece of technology that was the main
00:05:24
accelerator of the London RS that
00:05:26
allowed rumors and different stories to
00:05:29
spread in a matter of
00:05:31
seconds I'm
00:05:34
onry bearing in mind that blackberries
00:05:36
were designed for like you know your
00:05:37
corporate business boys but for some
00:05:39
reason 15-year-old boys outside of a
00:05:41
McDonald's also needed a blackbery what
00:05:44
it was was that blackb had a thing
00:05:46
called BBM BBM messenger sending a
00:05:49
message on your phone back then used to
00:05:51
cost like 10p a message so if a heated
00:05:53
banter exchanges popping off with the
00:05:55
boys in the group chat that might run
00:05:56
you a ten but on top of all that it was
00:06:00
encrypted meaning riers on the move are
00:06:02
able to pick up messages about planned
00:06:04
looting and police movements without law
00:06:07
enforcers knowing it and BBM had another
00:06:09
feature that was very important in the
00:06:11
London rights and that was the ability
00:06:13
to send out broadcasts AKA pings this is
00:06:16
where you could broadcast a message to
00:06:18
everyone in your contact list and so the
00:06:20
people who had started rioting in
00:06:22
Tottenham took to BBM and started
00:06:24
broadcasting what was going on and where
00:06:26
it was going on the guardian reports
00:06:28
some of the BBM messages some of the
00:06:30
broadcasts that they were able to get a
00:06:32
hold of stuff like this [ __ ] the F here
00:06:34
bring your B and your bags trolleys cars
00:06:36
Vans hammers the lot apparently over BBM
00:06:39
people were were broadcasting the sale
00:06:42
of5 Riot kits we got gloves mask petrol
00:06:46
boms £5 a lot I don't want to say it but
00:06:49
it's a pretty reasonable price before we
00:06:51
go any further with this video I want to

the giant anyway back to the video by
00:07:48
10:45 violence was growing on the first
00:07:50
night of these riots and now the fires
00:07:53
was starting to spread these two FES I'm
00:07:55
about to mention are very important in
00:07:57
terms of like symbolism and how they
00:07:59
were viewed in the media firstly you had
00:08:01
the old carpet shop it was built in the
00:08:03
1930s and it was a listed building
00:08:05
that's because it's old and it was
00:08:07
important half of the reason being that
00:08:09
it survived the Blitz in local history
00:08:12
this building came to represent
00:08:14
resilience and so when this was burnt
00:08:17
down by these young riers when the rest
00:08:19
of Britain saw this in the television in
00:08:22
the media it was felt as a deep
00:08:24
disrespect against British Heritage
00:08:27
secondly you have the London bus to me
00:08:29
this photo is one of the most powerful
00:08:31
images from the London riots when people
00:08:33
picture a London bus you expect to see
00:08:36
old dukee dickon the third jumping off
00:08:39
and tipping his top out to the driver
00:08:41
you don't expect to see it on fire with
00:08:43
a group of balled up chavs in front of
00:08:45
it as this image got broadcast around
00:08:47
the world it showed a very different
00:08:49
Britain that doesn't get a lot of
00:08:52
publicity this is the side of Britain
00:08:54
that we often keep a big secret we sweep
00:08:56
it all away in poor underdeveloped under
00:08:59
funded under supported communities and
00:09:01
we just hope that they don't complain
00:09:03
too much however now they had a voice
00:09:07
and the whole world was
00:09:11
listening the chav we have to remember
00:09:13
this took place in 2011 this was like
00:09:15
the height of the chav era I made a
00:09:18
whole entire video on chav culture which
00:09:20
I can link below but effectively what it
00:09:21
was was an underclass of people like our
00:09:24
boy crazy Steves so that we don't forget
00:09:26
about this important character in
00:09:28
British Society I made crazy Steves you
00:09:30
can see here with his designer hat his
00:09:32
little Siggy his bottle of beer his
00:09:34
sporty tracksuit the chabs and later
00:09:36
Road man Road culture was really this
00:09:39
underclass that Society really pushed to
00:09:42
the side and absolutely hated I'm just
00:09:44
doing M bre is Pete these men don't
00:09:47
respect me side not you can pick these
00:09:49
up it's only out for one month so I'll
00:09:51
link it below they make a great gift I'm
00:09:53
really proud of this and if you do buy
00:09:55
one it massively helps the channel so I
00:09:56
appreciate it that aside crazy Steves
00:09:58
represents like the underclass of this
00:10:01
era that were always blamed and always
00:10:03
had fingers pointed them for everything
00:10:05
no one really thought to wonder why
00:10:07
people were living in these situations
00:10:09
acting the way they did they just
00:10:11
assumed that they were bad people and it
00:10:12
was like a cultural problem and so very
00:10:14
quickly in the news these riots were
00:10:15
being reported in a very specific way
00:10:18
these people were being represented as
00:10:20
just a nihilistic rebellious youth who
00:10:23
would take part in senseless criminality
00:10:26
and were just burning their communities
00:10:27
to the ground for no other reason than
00:10:30
that they were bored and so as the first
00:10:32
night of these riots Drew to a close the
00:10:34
entire country's attitude towards the
00:10:37
riers was that of disgust a very bad
00:10:40
night um you know I'm devastated really
00:10:43
to she um uh a place that I grew up in
00:10:46
and love Tottenham Harring you know um
00:10:50
looking like a a battlefield the next
00:10:52
morning the nation woke up in shock we
00:10:55
were now getting reports of the
00:10:57
aftermath of the riots in buildings had
00:11:00
been burnt to the ground 26 policemen
00:11:02
were injured 55 arrests were made cars
00:11:05
were set on fire and shops were being
00:11:07
looted however it was over you know we
00:11:10
took a sigh of relief the rioter the
00:11:13
police the rest of the country held
00:11:15
hands and all came back together it was
00:11:17
all over if you enjoyed this video be
00:11:19
sure to join the disy by 6:28 p.m. a
00:11:22
little north of Tottenham where it all
00:11:24
started now in Enfield there were
00:11:26
reports that shops had been smashed in
00:11:28
and a police vehicle had been damaged
00:11:29
but then something very weird happened
00:11:33
minutes later reports that on the south
00:11:35
side of London like quite far away from
00:11:38
Tottenham and Enfield all the way over
00:11:39
in Brixton a separate Riot had started
00:11:43
and then a few hours later at 10:30
00:11:45
reports that a mob of 50 people had
00:11:48
arrived in Oxford Circus in London's
00:11:50
West End now it was getting serious
00:11:52
people were worried these copycat riots
00:11:54
were popping up in various parts of
00:11:56
London and all the while that that was
00:11:58
happening a very important piece of news
00:12:01
was reported by the guardian Channel 4
00:12:03
News has learned that the bullet that
00:12:05
killed Mark Dugen and the bullet that
00:12:07
lodged in an officer's radio were both
00:12:10
fired by police now you see this bit of
00:12:11
news was a bit of a problem if we go
00:12:14
back to the first reportings after Mark
00:12:15
dgen was killed it was sort of implied
00:12:17
that he shot some police officers and
00:12:19
that he was a gangster and this
00:12:21
certainly shaped The Wider public's
00:12:24
opinion on both Mark dougen and the
00:12:27
rioter but when it turned out that the
00:12:28
police officer was the person who shot
00:12:30
the other police officer and Mark Dugen
00:12:32
hadn't shot anyone things became a
00:12:34
little bit awkward between what happened
00:12:37
in Tottenham and what happened in cayen
00:12:38
there is no connection what they did was
00:12:41
pure greed that's what made me angry
00:12:44
like people are like animals like the
00:12:47
real animals within people's show that
00:12:49
night now it's the 8th of August the
00:12:51
riots are still going on but now a lot
00:12:53
bigger the police are completely losing
00:12:55
control of London they were leaving
00:12:57
large areas of London unprotected the
00:13:00
writers just had free Reign Over the
00:13:01
shops they were looting everything
00:13:03
locals were understandably terrified
00:13:06
this photo became the core image of what
00:13:09
was happening in London and it spread
00:13:12
around the world and now riots were
00:13:14
popping up all around London Enfield
00:13:16
Brixton wolam Stow Hackney pekham leam
00:13:20
Cen Clapham eing and then somehow
00:13:23
something even crazier happened to
00:13:25
Britain where violence and looting that
00:13:27
started in one London neighborhood over
00:13:29
the weekend spread to three other cities
00:13:31
last night it is Britain's worst rioting
00:13:33
in 25 years 128 Mi north of London lies
00:13:38
a town called Nottingham completely
00:13:40
separate to London no connection here
00:13:42
Mark Dugen didn't have extended family
00:13:44
up there as far as I'm aware now riots
00:13:47
were popping up there the police station
00:13:49
has been petrol bombed and dozens of
00:13:51
homes shops and cars were attacked as
00:13:54
youths went on the Rampage in Nottingham
00:13:56
early this morning just got out of hand
00:13:59
but it's gone way past it's not
00:14:01
connected to this anymore we're not
00:14:04
condoling any kind of actions like that
00:14:06
at all to be shown or or for this to be
00:14:09
taken in my brother's name on the same
00:14:12
day in just beautifully perverted irony
00:14:15
the politicians of Great Britain were
00:14:17
having a nice summer break the PM of the
00:14:19
time David Cameron as well as Boris
00:14:21
Johnson who was the mayor of London at
00:14:23
the time and then Ed Miland who was the
00:14:25
leader of Labor they had to get out of
00:14:26
the sun lounger hop on a plane and cut
00:14:28
their holiday
00:14:32
short this was the scene in Birmingham
00:14:34
tonight as the violence spread outside
00:14:36
the capital for the first time since the
00:14:38
trouble erupted on Saturday but then it
00:14:40
gets worse Liverpool Manchester West
00:14:43
bromage Wolverhampton Bristol all of
00:14:46
these towns all around England were now
00:14:48
reporting that they had experienced
00:14:50
rioting and the police were failing the
00:14:52
local people had to go out and defend
00:14:55
their communities fight off the the
00:14:57
rioters cuz people people that just
00:14:59
waiting they they protected themselves
00:15:02
you know because they can't do nothing
00:15:04
police they can't do nothing I remember
00:15:06
just this like palpable fear across
00:15:09
England at the time it was it's Vivid I
00:15:12
I can recall it the fear was that your
00:15:14
town might be next I lived near Luton at
00:15:17
the time so just imagine how I felt
00:15:19
there was a part of me that was thinking
00:15:21
you know maybe a few fires and some of
00:15:22
the ugly buildings might might actually
00:15:24
do the place a bit of good but genuinely
00:15:26
for this week in England it felt like
00:15:29
our country was about to collapse but
00:15:31
then reports of deaths started to occur
00:15:35
let's get back to those events in
00:15:36
Birmingham three men died after being
00:15:38
hit by a car believed to have been
00:15:39
protecting premises during this night of
00:15:42
violence and looting in Birmingham a man
00:15:44
by the name of Tariq Jan whose son and
00:15:47
his friends died whilst trying to defend
00:15:49
their own Community from rioters he went
00:15:52
on the news and talked against the riots
00:15:55
but he he did something very important
00:15:58
instead of calling for Revenge he asked
00:16:00
people to calm down and go home we all
00:16:03
live in the same Community why we have
00:16:05
to kill one another what started these
00:16:07
riots and what's escalating why are we
00:16:09
doing this honestly this video is
00:16:11
heartbreaking and I don't want to go
00:16:12
into too many of the stories of all the
00:16:14
people that died cuz is sad for sure and
00:16:16
in the video of Tariq you can see him
00:16:19
arguing as an elder of his own Community
00:16:21
against some of the young Lads in his
00:16:23
own Community who were probably outright
00:16:25
in the night before morning my son and
00:16:28
you up again
00:16:34
[Music]
00:16:38
up what we have seen on The Streets of
00:16:41
London and in other cities across our
00:16:43
country is completely unacceptable it is
00:16:46
criminality pure and simple and there is
00:16:49
absolutely no excuse for it we need to
00:16:51
show the world which has looked on
00:16:52
frankly appalled that the perpetrators
00:16:55
of the violence we've seen on our
00:16:56
streets are not in any way represent
00:16:58
resentative of our country nor of our
00:17:01
young people the fight back has well and
00:17:03
truly begun David Cameron and the
00:17:05
government had to do something obviously
00:17:07
so they put 16,000 police officers in
00:17:10
London and it seems like this in part
00:17:12
led to the beginning of the end of the
00:17:14
rioting the more and more police that
00:17:15
were there it was just a higher risk
00:17:17
that you could get caught all of the
00:17:19
good shops had been looted by now so
00:17:22
there was kind of less opportunity to
00:17:23
you know get your PlayStations or
00:17:25
whatever and as well there was reports
00:17:26
that some riters were actually just
00:17:27
feeling remorse maybe they sobered up
00:17:30
from The Rage of the whole moment and
00:17:32
saw these stories of people dying saw
00:17:34
what they had done to their own
00:17:36
communities and eventually on the 11th
00:17:39
of August 2011 the London riots came to
00:17:42
an
00:17:43
end Fallout continues in Britain over
00:17:45
the rioting and violence that broke out
00:17:47
one week ago today it began in London
00:17:49
and spread around England for four
00:17:50
nights at least five people were killed
00:17:52
and many businesses were looted or
00:17:53
torched the mopping up operation
00:17:56
continues but this was a big mess and
00:17:58
there's a lot to Mar up it's believed
00:18:00
that 20,000 riers took to the streets
00:18:02
across the country over 85 different
00:18:05
locations there was five deaths many
00:18:07
people were injured $500 million worth
00:18:10
of damage was done to shops and
00:18:12
businesses and then the invaluable stuff
00:18:14
like just history and beautiful
00:18:16
architecture destroyed a very
00:18:18
embarrassed British establishment sought
00:18:21
to hand out the harshest possible
00:18:23
punishments for rioters there was
00:18:27
2,158 convictions with
00:18:29
1,800 years total being given out you
00:18:32
are having people who had never
00:18:34
committed crimes before like firsttime
00:18:35
offenders in one instance being given 6
00:18:38
months for stealing a350 bottle of water
00:18:40
from Lidle I hope for their sake it was
00:18:42
a s pelo at least 2,000 of the people
00:18:45
being sentenced were on average facing
00:18:48
jail time that was 4 and 1 half times as
00:18:50
long as what would normally be warranted
00:18:52
for the same crimes you see as all this
00:18:53
was going on all this Mayhem and the
00:18:55
Carnage the aftermath the country
00:18:57
realized it had forgotten some one what
00:18:59
was his name was it Mark Dugen was
00:19:04
it it is important however that I
00:19:07
address some of the misinformation
00:19:08
circling around much of which is
00:19:11
unhelpful and some of which is
00:19:13
inflammatory speculation that Mark Dugen
00:19:16
was assassinated in an execution style
00:19:19
involving a number of shots to the Head
00:19:21
are categorically untrue Mark Dugen has
00:19:24
been dubbed like the British George
00:19:26
Floyd before however the scenarios are
00:19:28
considerably different George Floyd it
00:19:30
was pretty cut and dry what had happened
00:19:31
we could see it on video but the mar
00:19:33
dougen scenario was considerably more
00:19:35
messy in 2020 so 9 years after the
00:19:38
incident forensic architecture did a
00:19:41
report did a did a study with the Doug
00:19:44
and family to try and work out exactly
00:19:46
what had happened that caused Mark
00:19:47
Dugan's death I'll link the video below
00:19:49
it's really worth watching it's very
00:19:51
interesting there's a few very important
00:19:53
contentions in the story of how Mark
00:19:55
Dugen died that I'll try and explain to
00:19:57
you now the officer that killed Mark
00:19:59
Dugen is known only as v53 when he
00:20:02
explained what had happened he said he
00:20:03
was sure that he saw Mart Dugen holding
00:20:05
a gun he said it was in a sock in his
00:20:07
hand and that he went to aim it at the
00:20:09
police officer and therefore he shot him
00:20:12
however when he dropped to the floor
00:20:13
dead somehow the gun had vanished
00:20:16
despite on the record not a single one
00:20:18
of the officers reported seeing Mark
00:20:20
Dugen throw a gun or anything like that
00:20:22
they later found a gun wrapped in a
00:20:25
black sock 20 ft away from Markt
00:20:27
dougen's body on the other side of the
00:20:29
railings like on some grass forensic
00:20:31
architecture who did the report they
00:20:33
played all the different scenarios in
00:20:35
which it would be possible for Mart Doug
00:20:36
to throw a gun and the way that they
00:20:39
present it appears that it kind of seems
00:20:42
impossible and they allude to the
00:20:45
possibility that the police could have
00:20:48
placed it there in 2014 there was an
00:20:50
inquest into Mark dougen's death and the
00:20:51
inquest jury found that Mark Dugen was
00:20:54
not holding a gun when he was shot
00:20:56
however they concluded that the killing
00:20:59
of Mark dougen was lawful Mark dougen's
00:21:02
family then challenged the decision but
00:21:04
they were ruled against and the UK
00:21:06
Supreme Court declined to hear the
00:21:10
case but then jump forward to 2019
00:21:14
reports would emerged that the dougen
00:21:15
family had settled damages with the Met
00:21:18
police where importantly they claimed
00:21:20
that there was no admission of guilt
00:21:22
that they killed Mark Dugen unlawfully
00:21:25
but privately they settled with the
00:21:27
Dugen family the Metropolitan Police has
00:21:29
apologized to the family of Mark Dugen
00:21:31
whose death triggered the riots in
00:21:33
Tottenham which spread throughout the
00:21:35
capital and to other parts of the
00:21:36
country officers have been strongly
00:21:38
criticized by the police Watchdog the
00:21:40
ipcc for failing to inform his parents
00:21:43
that they had shot Mr Dougan dead we can
00:21:45
speculate on whether the police were
00:21:47
right or what happened in that scenario
00:21:49
but one thing we can say was that the
00:21:51
police and the media's handling of this
00:21:54
situation was extremely unprofessional
00:21:57
since the riots the the media have been
00:21:59
widely criticized for this the ipcc had
00:22:01
to formally apologize for handing out
00:22:04
misinformation to journalists in regards
00:22:06
to saying that there had been a shootout
00:22:08
between Mark Dugen and police officers
00:22:10
pretty much in unison the media just
00:22:12
concluded Mark Dugen was a ganger they
00:22:15
drove this narrative years after the
00:22:17
whole riots everything with the
00:22:19
independent here calling Mark Dugen
00:22:21
among Europe's most feared and violent
00:22:23
criminals however the police task force
00:22:26
like the operation who were responsible
00:22:28
for killing Mark Dugen they came out
00:22:30
saying that that was untrue and then
00:22:32
there's this image this famous image
00:22:34
where it shows Mark Dugen looking
00:22:36
Sinister and scary this was all across
00:22:38
the media when talking about Mark Dugen
00:22:40
however it turns out that this image was
00:22:42
cropped and if you zoom out it was
00:22:44
actually a photograph of him mourning
00:22:46
the death of his daughter there's a
00:22:47
really great piece by the IR called
00:22:49
framing the death of Mark Dugen and it
00:22:51
goes into the way that the media had
00:22:53
shaped a narrative around Mark Dugen
00:22:56
where it was very clear that they had
00:22:57
this sort of guilty
00:22:59
until proven innocent attitude they
00:23:01
decided what Mark Dugen was they had
00:23:03
made up their minds and that's how they
00:23:04
presented him and of course the the
00:23:06
elephant in the room here is that a lot
00:23:08
of this happened in Black communities
00:23:10
and this definitely affected the
00:23:11
rhetoric around the riots famously this
00:23:14
historian called David ly went on the
00:23:16
BBC saying the phrase the whites have
00:23:19
become black what's happened is that the
00:23:21
substantial section of the chavs that
00:23:24
you wrote about have become black the
00:23:26
whites have become black a particular
00:23:28
ular sort of violent destructive
00:23:32
nihilistic gangster culture has become
00:23:35
the fashion and black and white boy and
00:23:38
girl operate in this language together
00:23:41
this language which is holy false which
00:23:44
is this Jamaican pwa that's been
00:23:46
intruded in
00:23:49
England after a weekend of Destruction
00:23:52
looting and arson across London
00:23:53
questions are being asked about the root
00:23:56
causes behind the violence many far more
00:23:58
sophisticated Minds than I have
00:24:00
theorized why Britain nearly collapsed
00:24:03
in 2011 and there's a few like main
00:24:05
theories so the week posted this list of
00:24:08
five I'm going to go through them
00:24:09
firstly is the police response the
00:24:11
police response was terrible they didn't
00:24:13
speak to the mar dog and family quick
00:24:14
and on top of this the early police
00:24:16
response to the riots were not great
00:24:18
maybe this had something to do with the
00:24:19
fact that there was Major cuts to the
00:24:20
police force but who knows secondly was
00:24:23
racial profiling it didn't really matter
00:24:25
about the specific events that happened
00:24:27
it was often seen as an expression of a
00:24:29
feeling in the black community lots of
00:24:32
the writers when interviewed would say
00:24:33
that they felt they were a victim to
00:24:35
racial profiling that they couldn't walk
00:24:37
down the street without having a police
00:24:38
officer either Drive slowly past them or
00:24:40
search them for a weapon or something
00:24:42
and this leads us on to thirdly Social
00:24:44
and economic inequality the UK went
00:24:46
through some brutal cuts to like Social
00:24:49
Services things for the Youth to do and
00:24:51
there was Major inequality from the
00:24:52
richest of society to the poorest of
00:24:54
society and then we have the fourth
00:24:56
thing which is high unemployment we were
00:24:58
experiencing some major unemployment
00:25:00
most of the people looting and
00:25:01
vandalizing were under the age of 20
00:25:04
without any jobs and so all these things
00:25:06
lay the foundation for the fifth and
00:25:08
final thing which is Mob mentality and
00:25:10
opportunism for sure you can be
00:25:13
sympathetic of the feelings that would
00:25:15
lead people to rioting but once it
00:25:17
started there were a lot of people that
00:25:19
saw it as an opportunity to get a new
00:25:21
pair of Air Force Ones or some P's
00:25:24
Boutique for your misses it doesn't make
00:25:26
it right and for sure these people are
00:25:27
respons ible for their own individual
00:25:29
actions but to me it just seems so dumb
00:25:31
to look at it as a surface level thing
00:25:34
it's like oh they're just criminals
00:25:35
they're just bad people and to not
00:25:37
consider the reason why an individual
00:25:39
would be okay with burning down their
00:25:40
entire Community willing to potentially
00:25:43
go to jail for a Playstation but you do
00:25:45
have to consider the fact that you
00:25:46
wouldn't see you know a whole wave of
00:25:48
middle class people out in the streets
00:25:50
rioting and looting shops you that isn't
00:25:52
probably going to happen riots tend to
00:25:54
very often come from areas of high
00:25:56
unemployment and where you have have a
00:25:58
massive underclass of society who feel
00:26:00
no real way of achieving anything in
00:26:03
their lives who get constantly looked
00:26:05
down upon and constantly seen as the
00:26:07
blight of society when you literally
00:26:08
have this person who's well spoken and
00:26:11
supposedly a historian going on the BBC
00:26:13
and claiming that all of this came from
00:26:15
the fact that there were white people
00:26:16
wanting to be black like this is a
00:26:18
historian who should know that riots
00:26:20
have occurred throughout history when
00:26:21
you have tons of inequality and tons of
00:26:23
unemployment but somehow this scenario
00:26:25
is completely different and it's because
00:26:26
of Jamaican pwa just been rereading
00:26:29
Enoch Powell his prophecy was absolutely
00:26:33
right the timing of the riots was very
00:26:36
particular it was 2011 bearing in mind a
00:26:39
few years prior to this the world had
00:26:41
just witnessed Bankers crash the global
00:26:43
economy that did immeasurable damage to
00:26:45
the world and like mostly went
00:26:47
unpunished and got bonuses 2011 was also
00:26:50
just after the big MP expenses Scandal
00:26:53
where instead of MPS smashing into cares
00:26:55
to grab a plasma TV they just took the
00:26:58
money from the taxpayer these MPS were
00:27:00
handed out minimal punishments and just
00:27:02
asked to pay the money back and then you
00:27:04
get this sorry lady getting six months
00:27:06
for a bottle of water and look I just
00:27:07
want to conclude with this I am no way
00:27:10
defending the actions of writers it was
00:27:12
horrific and rest in peace to the people
00:27:14
who died and it's [ __ ] up but I just
00:27:16
think as a society in Britain if we just
00:27:18
always dig our head in the Sands
00:27:20
whenever something like this happens
00:27:22
until we take responsibility that our
00:27:23
society and culture breeds this
00:27:26
environment where people are willing to
00:27:28
burn down their homes these problems are
00:27:30
not going to go away if you're pressing
00:27:32
we pressing the people pressing the
00:27:34
people pressing the people eventually
00:27:35
they going to want to stand up to you
00:27:37
cuz they're looking like you know what
00:27:38
we ain't got nothing to lose that's how
00:27:39
I feel if you enjoyed this video be sure
