Published a book about Chavs: The Demonetization of the Working Class.
- Argues about the political and media view of Chavs.
- The book exposes class hatred in modern Britain. He says how 30 years a once proud working class has now turned into a violent, degenerate, workless mob.
- Made a joke about Woolworths closing saying "Where will all the chavs get their Christmas presents?''
- 'Commentators looked at Chavs in a new light. I suppose, because the word "chav" was being bandied around to describe the rioters, particularly on Twitter and Facebook'.
- "Children without fathers" was one of the factors identified by David Cameron; it was a point echoed by right-wing commentators, peple said it was these children who were invlcved in the riots as they came from a 'broken home' and were of the lower class status.
- He said how politicians are complaining about the cost of restoring the riots and want justice but pre-riots these british politicians helped them selves to millions of taxpayers money. So Jones questions here if this could be used as a reson for why these young bristish 'chavs' who are lowerclass and have little money were involved in the riots.
- Jones also says that is was obvious why people rioted as they saw it as an opportunity to steal with a little chance of getting caught. For some it was a thrill, somthing to do a chance to show off and some got caught up in the crowd sensing that accepted social norms had temporarily been suspended. Others looked at the shameless greed of the bankers and policticians feeling that if those at the top could get away with it why couldnt they?
