"You won't tickle me to get abusive..." I love that line. Reacting out of anger is at the root of all conflicts and fights and wars and when you can keep your head and wit you can really see a person. The look on her face and her abrupt end of the interview....Yeah he is right. She was being a disrespectful idiot at that moment. She probably is a nice person but when the interview was not going the way the studio wanted ..I bet they were screaming in her earpiece "just cut it !!!" CUT IT!!! SAD
What does he say before he says "You just sound idiotic?"
@tctcrules You mean condemned. To condone is to accept and allow.to continue.
Yes I didn't like the tone of her question and implication towards the end, but Darcus Howe as much as I love the guy, is foolish for comparing this to the riots in Syria and the Middle East. That was for basic human rights and democracy, and to overthrow corrupt dictators This was to cause mayhem, destruction, chaos and steal the odd TV or a pair of trainers. NO similarity whatsoever.
@ALKHONFEL Get anyone who spells 'becouse' like that away from Britain too, please. Historically, it's that classic Daily Mail attitude and disrespect that's at the root of this revolt in the first place.
@manamauri yep, arson and vandalism is surely the result of poverty.
GO Darcus HOWE!
@LyricalWax bugger, clearly got a little too into making a point to do it correctly -and I highlighted it. crap.... you know what I mean though!
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. How's that bailout of wealthy wastrel banksters taste now, Britain?
tru talk m8
just amazing. Everyone battering this woman for doing her job -his ideas, his message is too radical. The riots are to be CONDONED. Always, no matter what the hell his grandsons have been through - was it Ladbrokes & Poundland (for christ sakes) who strip searched him? And to be honest, I live in a 'mean' area -I've never been searched &its blatantly because I don't go around acting shifty and blaming everyone else for my poor behaviour! back off. This is OUR fault. As a nation, not as cultures.
I don't think she was being so idiotic. She clearly had info on him being in riots and he rejects the claims and then also asks if she was at the brixton riots, clearly insinuating that he was. Yet again Howe is trying to look victimised for absolutely nothing and "idiotic" people fall for it
