Tarpley discusses the rioting and civil unrest in London on Press TV. This is from Press TV Global News:

"In the darkness, the question sounds as clear as ever, Britain where are you?"
This is what the head of the Church of England; Rowan Williams is asking the British public and officials. He says Britain risk tearing itself apart, blaming it on riots and bankers greed.
His warning comes as the British economy is close to another period of contraction, though it still under the pressure of the worst recession since WWII. Unemployment is on the rise, with youth joblessness at the highest since 1992.
The government is taking austerity measures including cuts in public spending and jobs to reduce its record budget deficit. While the public experiences the economic hardship, banker still receive huge pay packet on bonuses. The government claims that its reforms will make the system fairer.
While I agree with most of what Webster Tarpley and the other guest says in this news interview, I disagree with Tarpley's comment on Ron Paul, and his proposal to cut $1 trillion in the first year in office if he wins. Tarpley stated that Ron Paul's plan was not popular in the States among it's citizens and would lead to rioting. I believe he is wrong about this. Cutting $1 trillion would be beneficial in the way Ron Paul has proposed to do so, and his message of spending cuts in big government are what most Americans want (unless they are on the government payroll or welfare list).
As far as the Archbishop of Canterbury is concerned, I do agree with Tarpley's assessment of him and what he represents, when Tarpley stated these words:
"I would like to say something first about the Archbishop of Canterbury, I don't regard him as a humanitarian leader, I don't regard him as a moral authority, I regard him as a kind of signal light for the British ruling class, for the British oligarchy, for.. the financiers of the City of London, .... and everything that goes with the British establishment. What he's basically saying to them is 'Our power could be in danger.' A signal light goes on,..."This was in reference to Cameron and the upheaval and rioting being caused by the severe austerity measures being imposed upon the people of London.
Of course the Archbishop of Canterbury is Catholic, and obviously any upheavals in London that would affect the Ruling Class, or economy of Britain as well as the United States, would be of great concern to the Vatican.
