      Thanks so much as always Owen. Mothin is a great man it's disgusting that such lies and hate speech are twisting the narrative. Usual tactics by usual suspects. You are a true man of the people 👏 💪❤️ Your community is lucky to have such an honourable representative actually protecting all the people regardless of race or creed . Massive respect ✊️

      You label this video "whats the truth" and then in his first sentence your guest says its not fair to talk about the causes of the riot. Hardly transparent.... So lets discuss the cause that other people are claiming, that social services were attempting to steal some children from a family.

    I live in Leeds and met Mothin Ali at a Green Fair last week. He was there with his wife and we had a long chat about his involvement with permaculture, and his commitment to and enthusiasm for his community in Harehills (an area I've previously also lived in). I was left very impressed by him and felt enormously heartened that Harehills has such a great representative. His actions last night are a further testament to what was already obvious to me - he's a genuine, warm-hearted and committed human being, trying to make the world a better place. Thanks for the interview Owen.

    Harehills is not a safe place. My friend who was a gardener for Leeds City Council, was assaulted by a man in Harehills for accidently blowing leaves near his car. A female friend who was surveying trees for the council, was followed around the park by a man and another friend was followed by a man in the park, when she had her children with her. People can't do their jobs in the area and don't feel safe, due to the behaviour of the people who linger there. The aggression and criminal behaviour in Harehills, has now been seen and cannot be hidden anymore.

      Thing is, social services are given a LOT of training on what to do in situations like this. Calling in a small army of police at the slightest hint of disagreement rather than escalating it via the courts etc is why this happened.
      Of course, we can't know exactly what the decision making process was, just that some basic stipulations were not followed by someone and it caused it to all escalate uncontrollably.

    • @johntate6537
      @johntate6537 2 месяца назад +13

      Nobody in the video was having a go at social services or the police. Mothin actually talked about the police having things under control. He was putting his body on the line to protect the police and demonstrators from each other. And he's been liaising with the police and the local community since. The issue here is of a neglected area going up in flames out of pent up frustration. The gap between rich and poor in this country is out of control, but all attempts at building some kind of alternative - left-wing activism, trade unionism, various campaigns over social and ecological issues, etc., etc. are ritually attacked in the mainstream media and by mainstream politicians with activists, communities and just ordinary people going about their lives who don't fit the prescribed mould being belittled and demonised. The mindset that the appropriate reaction to people's increasing (and justified) frustration is to just keep dialling up the repressive powers of the state is part of the problem.
      Maybe learn to listen to what people are actually saying and see communities that are not your own not as aliens to be forcibly controlled but as fellow human beings deserving of understand, respect and support.

    Ive spent a lot of time in Harehills. Its full of lots of back to back houses that used to be nice, but have been left to rot by landlords. Like a lot of the North of England.
    It also has an incredibly tangible sense of community, that its rare to feel. Its an area that is over policed, and under funded.
    Its one of the poorest areas of Leeds that has no choice but to look after itself, because no-one else will.
    I have no information about what caused last night, but this kind of reaction becomes inevitable in communities abandoned by the government.

    Let's be honest here Owen as usual brings deflection away from abominable behaviour and mentions "far right" several times despite this being distruction and anarchy by everyone except the far right. Owen can't bring himself to condemn the actions of people, who didn’t look angry to me but actually looked like they were having a great time, destroying their own neighbourhood, despite saying its not fit for habitation before the mayhem brought upon it. Lastly i will excuse the mp for his "community coming together " nonsense as he's not exactly mensa material but I'd not want to be within a hundred miles of a community which came together to roll police cars and played who can set the bus on fire with absolute apathy on their faces not "anger", this looked to me like boredom was the cause. I genuinely wish mothin all the best as he starts out on his journey to civilise his community.

      "Far-right wing immigrants attack because what?"
      or is it
      "We dont know what happened, but it's defiantly white people's fault."
      Feels like the interviewer didnt care about the story at all & simply wished to insert his racist views.

    He glosses over the child abuse allegation here just like in another interview. This is typical in some communties. They prefer saving face and not 'tarnishing' family image than the welfare of individuals in the family.

      @@shirairyu9806I’ve seen the videos and if you’re suggesting that the videos would lead one to believe the far-right was involved then you’re either mistaken or simply lying-as it’s entirely evident that this was all done entirely by Romas of Indian descent and young Pakistani Asians and a few mixed and black individuals-the majority of perps were Asian youths. The only white person of any note was a white male being isolated, bullied and threatened by an enormous crowd of mixed people throwing racial slurs and threats towards him.

    Jones , straw manned the discussion from the very start As usual criminal behaviour from people who had no business getting involved is then blamed on social deprivation, racism, Islamophobia and of course the Far Right.Anybody with one ounce of common sense can see that this incident didn't need to happen.There was no provocation just social workers doing their job with , presumably, facts completely unknown to the mob , that ensued.Ali didn't renounce the violence he just started to use the default excuses of the Left I admire his courage when spouting the blatant nonsense he spoke with a straight face.
    As for Jones he is beyond help.
