| In a review of my novel, Citizen Zero, it was asked what had happened that the unemployed became so criminalised? At the time, Chavs by Owen Jones didn't exist, but today I can point to the book as a ready answer to the question (and indeed, a part o...more | |

But what you don't realise is that this pile of scrap itself serves a purpose. I need my zeros, Eric. They put fear in people; fear of crime and terrorism. They are a stark reminder to the stakeholders that what they despise today, they may end up joining tomorrow. It keeps them obedient. Remember that!”
