Not riots, insurrection of masses

Here is an interesting interview of a writer and broadcaster Darcus Howe. BBC interviewed him about the riots going on in London and other cities. The interview is because of Howe’s reading of riots. For him what is now going on there is not rioting, but insurrection of the masses. He snubs news anchor for calling him ‘a rioter’ and retaliates “have some respect for old West Indian, you sound idiotic”. Later BBC apologised for calling him rioter. Watch this video.
