Notting Hill, Ladbroke Grove Riot - London, 1976, Lord Tokyo

[cheriansrule]

I think a boy was getting arrested for pick poceting and other people came to his assistance, then the riot started. So I've read.

[Persephone025]

IMMIGRATION IS OUT OF CONTROL.

- DEPORT all the two million plus who are here illegally;

- DEPORT all those who commit crimes and whose original nationality was not British;

- REVIEW all recent grants of residence or citizenship to ensure they are still appropriate;

- OFFER grants to those of foreign descent resident here who wish to leave permanently;

- STOP all new immigration except for exceptional cases;

- REJECT ALL asylum seekers who passed safe countries on their way to Britain.

[cheriansrule]

@Persephone025 How does any of that help anybody, as long as people aren't causing trouble they should be allowed to go and live where ever they please.

[S35M]

who in his right mind really wants this on their door step? its crazy to force the notting hill residents to suffer this year after year why not hold this in a stadium? a field maybe n if its got to be in the streets as this is carrebean have in in a carrebean neibourhood better still a field in the middle of nowhere n No police in sight as this is a fun event police is Not needed let them all enjoy theirselfs to death too much happiness may kill them but they'll die happy what is the problem?

[Gnottason]

@S35M A street carnival isnt a street carnival if in a stadium, its a paying event where no locals are able to make some extra cash or party in the street they live in, most of the residents of the area like and enjoy the carnival, the most vocal opponents of it are newly moved here residents who know full well before they move here that the carnival is on every year, the other nay sayers are just racists (even though the majority of carnival attendants are white nowadays). Locals love carnival

[paleriderhater]

carnival was set about as a celebration 4 freedom 4 negros but we soon found out when we came 2 the uk that we was not free any more all our rights which we accustom 2 in the carribean was suddenly taken away from us and this riot was in response 2 enoch powel racist speech which was in the same context as ur white so called historian as david starkey recently made on ur racist tv station bbc 1 there was a lot of oppresion then and nothing has change in the uk since in fact its gone 10 x worse

[MrTonyMagik]

Carnivalists are fed up of two sets of people. Firstly, those who come to the event to spoil for trouble. If you're not into Carnival heritage please don't come, regardless of your colour or social concern. Carnival is not about that!. Secondly, those who choose to criticise an event and smear a whole community and artistic movement due to the actions of the former. Be honest, when last have you seen a costume bikini clad beauty throwing bottles on the frontline?

[paleriderhater]

this is nothing compared 2 wot will happen 2011

[MrTonyMagik]

@paleriderhater And exactly what do you predict?

[MadSkeelz16]

i'm confused, why did that many police show up and ruin everything ??

[NationalistFuture]

lets hope Cameron calls this off we Dont want thousands of monkeys and reds starting more trouble !

[MosaicMaiden]

Why did you remove my comment? I am never rude!

[unclemort1960]

the events of the carnival inspired the clash to write the song `white riot ` a rallying call to white people to get of their arses about the state of britain .ironically the group were searched by the police and mugged by rastas.

[ivorbigonee]

im white and i love everyone.

[Gnottason]

They still act like cunts, one wouldnt let me into my home 2 years ago, despite having I.D I had to jump the barrier, run and get my key in the door before he got to me, I stuck my head out my window and waved to him though, with a big 'naa naa' grin. Cunts

They bring down divvy country and town coppers who are (more) racist, bigoted slags anyway and that makes it worse

[xxxKINGFROGxxx]

i really love this song, but i can't find it anywhere!

[fistofonan]

Riots were a more evenly balance business back then. All the coppers had was a bin lid and silly tit on their head.

These days they dress up like Darth Vadar if they have to police a church fete.

[MrSkosig]

Napalm sticks to rioters better than it does to Noddy or Margaret Thatcher

[super8tribe]

Very very important document

For a calypso crisis of a different kind see 'London is the Place for Me'

[p4rch]

hahaha check out the dibble armed wid bin lidz, bottle crates and road cones at 2mins 16 secs, bet them beast boyz got sum beats..

[giuseppeUT]

to much police in da dance!!

ahahah fuckin bastard

[kendrawhisp]

Then we're on the same page there.

[kendrawhisp]

My imaginary friend, Jesus?

Well shit, ALOT of things but most importantly She would have come down to earth and told everyone that the female was the superior sex, that men should be seen and not heard, wear black collors with leashes and nothing more.

Why, what would your Jesus do? :s

[kendrawhisp]

And, what are you planning on doing about it? Nothing, exaclty, please go back and cower in the cornor of your one bedroom council flat, in whatever estate you live in. Bye

[kendrawhisp]

please, I was already bored with the last guy.

[kendrawhisp]

whatever

[kendrawhisp]

Also, being upset about it's like being upset that you have to eat, you have to, and multiculturalism is coming.

[kendrawhisp]

Tells me our community needs work. Splitting people because of differences will cause more problems than worrying about ghettos and multicultural teething problems, give us a chance ffs.You really need to look at the bigger picture. And What you describe is an exaggeration, i've lived in london and manchester and I'v yet to see a "Black" or "Asian" area, in manchester admittedly there are alot of asians in some areas but i never been afraid to walk through it. London is pretty mixed all round.

[kendrawhisp]

Disaster? Why? And reletive to what? We began as one people, if multiculturalism happens world wide, in a few thousand years we'll be one people again. Your life and this world wil end one day, holding billshit ideas, about people of different coloured skin is utterly pointless, and really only for pussies that can't survive in the world, blaming their problems on something gives them a reason to give up on having a productive life. what you so pissed off about, you can't get a job?

[kendrawhisp]

There is nothing wrong with being proud of our country, our little island did rule the world, but ethnic influence and diversity has brought tolerance, colour (Not just skin) and made our land diverse and rich with culture, mixed with our own. These are also things to be proud of. We're thankfully not like america that still has alot of segregation. We are the future, carnival is a wonderful symbol of that.

[CRAZYCRAFTY]

blacks invented the traffic lights and the gas mask which saved ur grandperents live u ignorant twat go loose ur virginty 2 a hooker and loosen up u bitch

[phinkupdarastafa]

Eh mon jah must remeber like dat babylon were dere to cause shit widda brethan, nuffin else, deze lot are as bad az drug dealerz who infiltrate our community.

nuffin against honest babylon, but pigz alwayz been against da brethan and alwayz will

[mischi3vous1]

hahaha are u kidding me? this country has gotten where it has today by stealing elements of what made other countries great, by 'discovering' lands that were already populated and claiming them as their own. i cannot help your ignorance and unwillingness to see the world in any other light than through the eyes of a white supremacist such as yourself. i wont bother dignifying your reply with a response because i can pretty much guess what you'll say anyway. good day.

[dennatrol81]

Well said. Put the ignorant fool in his place

[Gnottason]

@mischi3vous1 I wouldn't love modern British society as I do if it didn't have such a cultural mixture to it, that's what makes it so much better than say France or the U.S.A where there isn't that mixture that we have here.

It's in our buildings, clothes, language, music, film, arts, everywhere. On the sad side, we are the lucky recipiants of something that cost a fuck of a lot in suffering though, that shouldn't be forgotten either.

[bad901]

@mischi3vous1 ur a bad man you tell dem pussyholes straight what the deal is FUCK DEM WHITE PEOPLE WID IGNORANT MINDS THAT TEETH AND KILL PEOPLES CULTURE

[MrTillyayre]

@bad901 what

[drumtabbacco]

why the fuck r there always so many police at the carnival in the first placer ruins the atmosphere

[saladphobia]

Because people get robbed by young yobs, ask my missus who had a 12 inch blade in her face. F'ng carnival should be stopped

[glaxev]

white people complaining about being robbed at the carnival so police came in numbers

its always ther honkeys bitching

[helltopay1]

i was a 20 year old woodentop based at harlesden, i was shitting myself waiting in the coach for the off ,but once we got going the adrenaline kicked in and i fucking loved it.next year grunwick felt like a vet. Then 84 up to see mr scargill where they really i mean really hated us.Dont blame them really.Thank christ i wasnt at broadwater id left by then.

[trowel12]

if you didnt have such an attitude problem the police would leave you alone

[jemoyson]

police definatley took the piss in them days let alone nowadays..fuck the sus law!

[kareemdemon]

one ex cop ashamed

[mischi3vous1]

what a ridiculous statement to make.. 'no go areas for white people'.. oh boo hoo, not as if u were made to sit at the back of the bus and give up ur seat for some self-rigteous white person is it.

ive said it before and ive said it again, this country would be NOTHING without the influence of black people.

maybe if u picked up a history book instead of a swastika you would know that.

[Isleofskye]

@mischi3vous1

"This country would be nothing without the influence of Black people."...

Quite the most ludicrous comment that I've ever seen on You Tube!

Congratulations..lol

Do you know ANYTHING about The Industrial Revolution of England's history?

Up until The Windrush of 1948 there were the Black proportion of The UK population was not even "One-In-Hundred Thousand"....less than 0.001%..and when I grew up just 2 miles from Brixton there were hardly any Black people around.

[londonthistle]

@Isleofskye Britain would be nothing without the empire, and the empire would've been nothing without the slave trade

[edomiteslayerkenobi]

@mischi3vous1 bollocks, YOU would be nothing without this country - ungrateful wanker!

[Gnottason]

@mischi3vous1 I realise what your saying and agree, anyone with eyes can see how the UK has grown for the better because of the influence of African, Asain (East and Middle) and West Indian cultures among others, this countries Norman heritage was just a stagnant puddle before the influence of 'outsiders'.

God bless 'em!

[CHESTERNATIONALIST]

THIS COUNTRY SHOULD HAVE REPATRIATED EVERY BLACK PERSON IN LONDON THEN, If they did, London would be safe to walk the streets instead of the no go areas for white people as it is today.

[kendrawhisp]

What no go areas for white people, there isn't a place in london i havent tread. not come across any trouble and didnt expect to, fool

[nickisapinkdick]

@CHESTERNATIONALIST DUMB IDIOT.

Perhaps the pall ass white FREAKS of the POLL TAX RIOTS should be repatriated to their CAVES. RETARD

[Gnottason]

@CHESTERNATIONALIST I'm white and I've lived in Notting Hill all my life, I'm 43 and I've never seen a 'no-go white' area round here, or any other part of London I know of, I'm also happy to go to Brixton, Hackney etc. knowing they're not no-go's for whites. where do you get your ideas from?

I do know parts near the suburbs where whites hang outside pubs and start on strangers though-whatever their colour.

[MrTillyayre]

@Gnottason cant agree with you. i used to live between ladbroke grove and westbourne park in the 70s and 80s. you never went near the all saints road back then i take it?

[Gnottason]

@MrTillyayre I lived on the corner of All Saints and Lancaster rd in the early 80's I was never scared to walk down All Saints rd, a mate lived opposite on the other corner as well, I grew up round there and never feared going anywhere, some areas had gangs of white kids who had the "my Estate" mentality though, especially round the ST Annes rd /Latimer rd area.

[Gnottason]

@MrTillyayre Sorry its taken sooo long to reply but I missed the last reply to my comment, you 'take it' wrongly, I lived on the corner of All Saints Rd and Lancaster Rd from '81 to '84, I also lived for a short time in a friends place opposite the previous flat, I also had friends who lived in the blocks surrounding All Saints, something that tends to happen when you are brought up in an area. i would walk All Saints at any time feeling safe, not have a racist fear of Black people helped

[MrTillyayre]

@Gnottason I do get you. I was a bit younger i think. iwas stil single figures in 81-84. we used to go with mum to get a cab from the office in all snts rd and as we walked a little way up, a few times we got spat a t and abused as we went. i always thought of it as one of those things though. im not complaining or bothered in the sense that it ever affected me, just shit me up at the time i spose. i never thought of it as racist.

[almanacofsleep]

@CHESTERNATIONALIST I don't know what is more depressing, what you just said or the fact people gave you a thumbs up.

[bozwell77]

nothing new from then to now...same old lies of youths commiting offences...stop and search is just modern harassment....recently last 10 yrs) I have noticed police becoming more and more agressive towards anyone who questions anything they say or do....things are gonna blow sooner or later..all the youths will stop fighting each other so much and start to switch on the police....its comming!

[Tikidman]

just like todays riot the police started it

[JermainMcSporren]

Also, I'm guessing that the looting was all part of that same self-defence?

[JermainMcSporren]

"Harassed by 1600 officers"?!! Ha! So let's get this right. 350,000 people 'defended' themselves against uniformed police by throwing bottles, rocks and anything else to hand at them? Whose your lawyer Johnnie Cochran? This lot are worse than the football mob in the eighties...

[MikkyMcCann]

this songs mega haha what is it?

[reptilicus]

Great, great soundtrack.
