Plan B aka Ben Drew has been very busy making his new record recently and it seems hes also decided to address some serious topics while hes at it too!

The singer-songwriter has released a statement, alongside the video to his forthcoming single, Ill Manors and in the statement he talks about his thoughts on the UK riots that took place in August 2011.Its very interesting and while suggesting reasons for why those terribleevents took place, Ben also says its time the press stop using the word chav to describe those who are under-privileged backgrounds. And here's why...

He wrote, They [the kids] don't care about society because society has made it very clear that it doesnt care about them."

"An example of this is the word chav that means council housed and violent, a derogatory phrase that is openly used by certain sectors of middle England to label and define people from poor backgrounds," he continued. "Its a derogatory phrase no different in my opinion to the ones concerning race or sex. The difference is that the papers use it publicly. That in my opinion is hypocrisy.

Mr B will be releasing the Ill Manors single on 26 March and the song will be followed up by an album of the same name and a film that Ben himself has written and directed. Hes clearly a man of many talents and some strong opinions, and we all know that he oftens speaks from his own experiences. So frankly,we cant wait to see what the film is like and what other points he chooses to address through it. But in the meantime, heres the video whichis partly a reaction towhat happened during the riots last summer. We quitelike it. Do you?
