  VH1.com : Linton Kwesi Johnson : Biography
Born in Kingston, Jamaica and raised in the Brixton section of London, Johnson invented dub poetry, a type of toasting descended from the DJ stylings of U-Roy and I-Roy.
The Afro-Brits in Johnson's poems are neglected by the government and persecuted by the police.
Johnson was also instrumental (with his friend Darcus Howe) in the publication of a socialist-oriented London-based newspaper, Race Today, that offered him and other like-minded Britons both fl and white an outlet to discuss the racial issues that, under Margaret Thatcher's reign, seemed to be tearing the country apart.

Axel Johnson argues that the plain language of paragraph 6.9 of the 1990 Purchase Agreement is clear and unambiguous.
