[QUOTE="JeevanS, post: 24115, member: 1662"] [B]A tribute to those who stood up to the extreme right. :wah:[/B] The Clash, X-Ray Spex, Steel Pulse, The Tom Robinson Band, Asian Dub Foundation, Billy Bragg what do these past and present bands have in common? They are just some of the bands that have supported an anti-racist agenda and have not been afraid to raise their heads above the parapet. Do you remember what Britain was like in the 70s and early 80s when the National Front was gaining in popularity? The extreme right seemed to be lurking around every street corner and in dark alleys waiting to pick on the minorities and woe be tide to you if you had a turban on, or wore the traditional salwar-kameez. With your distinct headgear, national dress you could be spotted in the West End of London from the East End of London. Still the decent people of Britain stood up to the NF but look what happened to one of them? Remember Blair Peach? For those who are too young or are not aware of the race issues of Britain, Blair Peach, was a white schoolteacher born in New Zealand, murdered on the streets of Southall on April 23rd 1979 during a demonstration for the Anti-Nazi League against the NF. The Police the maintainers of law and order were the prime suspects in this crime. Sadly to this day no one has been brought to justice over the his murder. Things had to get a lot worse before it got better. On July 3rd 1981, the Sikhs fought back and took the law in to their own hands on an unprecedented scale. Carnage and devastation took place in the new Sikh heartland of Southall. The Sikhs were trying to stop a gathering of the NF in a local pub the Hamborough Tavern off the Broadway. An Asian woman was assaulted earlier on in the day; this was the spark for the civil unrest that followed. The meeting did not take place that night; the pub was razed to the ground. Petrol bombs, bricks, stones, anything that could be hurled was thrown that night aimed first primarily at the Tavern where members suspected of the extreme right had gathered and then the Police who had to bring law and order back on to the streets. During the summer of 1981 across the major cities and towns of Britain riots took place that this nation had never witnessed. I sincerely hope that that the economic and social conditions of this country will never be as harsh to trigger off such similar events. This is my thanks to the decent people of Britain, from those in the public eyes like rock bands to the ordinary citizen of Britain, thanks for sticking up for us. With your help let us consign the extreme right of Britain to a footnote in history. This is even more important now with the local government elections in May and the BNP fielding more candidates than ever before. Jeevan [/QUOTE]
