That was Petealiator. I think the thread may still be in Gold Talk.

Yep, I saw the same thing.

You don't hear the lefties bringing up those cases.....Those white girls raped in Brixton garages by a black gang for example.....It doesn't fit their narrative.....I remember it as one of the parting gifts Brixton left us with as we...A little while after, finally and thankfully managed to get out.

Nope it's the apparently terrible Police......The only lot charged with trying to keep the place together.

As you posted earlier ,you were living quite a way away from the main action in Stockwell,as a kid,watching from a balcony..

A fair few white males indeed joined in.I knew one of them..he got done for it.

Yes,some women got raped and some white people got randomly beaten up because they were white.Not good.In fact,very bad.When pent up fury explodes,things really do get out of control.

But to try to shift the blame for why the populace kicked off in such spectacular style from pent up frustration and rage at the way the area had been policed for some years and SUS etc...is about as credible as our "friend" trotting out the hoary old nonsense that Stephen Lawrence got killed for some kind of quasi legitimate reason.You didn't have to be a prophet to see it brewing up and coming down the tracks.

As for the slagging of Doreen Lawrence by our "friend",I've dealt with her professionally and she's a thoroughly decent woman motivated by all the right reasons,arising from the senseless sick slaying of her son.She may have become obsessive,but that's hardly a reason to slag her and I suspect if she was a white woman who had campaigned in the same way against police inaction against say paedophiles following something happening to her son of that ilk,the same poster would perhaps laud her.The Met and its policies and training are IMO a far better thing now because of the likes of her.

An eyewitness 1981 account from someone living right in the middle of it:

"By now the social and economic background to the Brixton riots will be familiar to most people.

Empty houses are also used by local blacks as drinking and gambling clubs, dope centres and venues for all-night 'Blues' parties with sound systems pumping out non-stop reggae.

Down the Frontline a black crafts centre has recently started in one empty building and further down a former black bookshop is now a squatted anarchist bookshop.

Down the Frontline there are two distinct cultures - the black and the white - and it is the black culture which predominates and on the fringes of which the young whites participate.

Dope and Reggae. The blacks have their own language - Patois - and this gives them an independent cultural identity that is not easily co-opted or diluted.

Certainly, the two years I've lived on the Frontline I've noticed that the cops have always tried to intimidate the Frontline community with constant vehicle and foot patrols and less frequently, horse patrols. (The most bizarre policing incident I've ever seen happened a few months ago when a cop on horse-back chased someone down Mayall Road).

Actually, the cops know they cannot fully control the Frontline. Despite their claims and their patrols the police policy on the Frontline has been one of containment- periodical raids to remind locals who is boss and to warn them not to get out of hand.

A month or so ago a black motorist tore up the ticket a cop had just given him and threw it back in his face to cheers from the assembled crowd. The cops constantly use the SUS laws to stop and search young blacks.

And they do this with vengeance. Another event on the Frontline will illustrate this. Two vehicles collided and the cops on the scene immediately searched both vehicles and their drivers and passengers. The accident was secondary.

What most surprised local people when the Bristol riots happened last year was that they hadn't happened here first. Another surprise was that the anarchist graffiti which went up after Bristol-' Bristol yesterday, Brixton today ' took a year to be made real.

The establishment knew this too: Only a few months ago Lambeth Council published a report criticising the cops and predicting trouble. The constant intense policing of Brixton and of the Frontline in particular was heightened in the week leading up to the riots.

This confused and angered me (it was the first time I'd ever been hassled on the Frontline) and it was only later that I realised that they had been victims of 'Swamp 81', perhaps only minutes before meeting me. "

The riot itself kicked off soon after.

I was,as you know,living just off Brixton Rd...

Yup,lets bring back the glory 1970s days of the corrupt and racist Met...things were so much better then, and they looked after "their own" too,no?

Racists and/or the corrupt have no place in the Police force. A copper's job is to apply the law without fear or favour. This is true of the past, present or future.

However, what we have now.....The force that fears to differ from a kind of Guardian world view. You can have that. Individual coppers may be fine but I don't feel like the management of the Police represent me anymore.
