I would just like to add , i was caught up in the riots of 81 , i was driving my car through Brixton , all blacks were in the road doing road blocks , pulling all white drivers out and beating them , i got to the police line and told them what was happening , but you did not see that in the papers targeting white people .

The subject of Steven Laurence has come up many many times on these boards and I see it has arisen again so I will say again "He was killed by the white guys because he was selling drugs to young school girls which upset the white youths....The reason this was not ever mentioned in the trials or news was because as at that time (which has been mentioned here) the police were fighting racist accusations and had to appear to be doing their job to the general public. Mrs Laurence went up through the ranks to the house of Lords just to appease her and try and stop her making a much bigger meal out of her sons death as she was causing quite a stir even after the blokes got locked up who killed her son To which I add she had received nearly £1m for her troubles which lead to his father leaving the country to live back in his homeland. That is why he was not and will not be interviewed any more. He was fed up with it all.

My second point is about the Brixton riots which I remember quite well as I was on duty in the London area at the time. My cousin was also on duty with the Police plain clothes division and he was in a bar checking it for drugs as was his job and a fight developed outside. It was two Coloured guys arguing over a white girl which in turn escalated into a free for all and all hell was let loose. My cousin had to leg it out of the area sharpish as the whole of Brixton was fighting looting and burning shops and buildings. The trouble had been brewing for some time as Kermit seems to know about and the police were having a real hard time of it. I think my cousin was lucky as he and his mate were in plain clothes as I said. I went through the following day and saw what damage had been done and it was awful I felt sorry for the injured and the shop keepers. It was the fight with the two guys and blonde girl that set off the violence that generated into an all out war.

I have read many stories but have known the truth for years.

I have never said that and did not even imply it mate. Just saying as it was and if you bothered to read and digest the selling drugs bit was because the police were being projected as very racist as you very well know at that time so could not add fuel to the fire so to speak. I agree that the killers probably were racist and in a gang of thugs so maybe the selling of drugs to white girls incited them to go out and kill I don't know but the Laurence case was just the tip of the iceberg as you should know and the reasons he was killed was lost in all the court cases on purpose??

That is right up there as one of the stupidest things I have ever seen posted.

Even if it had an ounce of truth to it, it's not what you'd call a justified response.

Says the brain of Britain......AGAIN!!!
