	From Brixton to Bradford
		Recourse to riot on the part of those disposed of any other means of representing their interests or simply defending themselves from attack and harassment of various types has a long history.
		Brixton was thus read, by Scarman at least, as a demand for inclusion in social citizenship rights by those who had become marginalised through a combination of racial discrimination and economic decay.
		Riot by the un-policed rather than the over policed, as an exaggeration of criminality preying on the community itself rather than directed against the state, speak of fundamental changes taking place in the social structure and governance of advanced capitalist democracies.

		My Brixton, particularly Brixton circa 1993, which was in between the 1991 riot and the 1995 riot, was an escape from the Central London areas I worked in for a Summer.
		Brixton's current fashionability was largely built on the backs of fl people and on the backs of poorer people.
		Residents who don't fit in with recent conformity (and Brixton’s current fashionability is a form of conformism) can sometimes feel crushed by the demands of professionals who’ve read in a magazine that Brixton is hip, moved in recently and within months want everything their way.

		The 1985 riots, coming during a wave of civil unrest, and just after the miners' strike, led to a politicisation of Britain's poor, a national resentment of the police, and to Thatcher's more disastrous hard-line stances.
		There have been a couple of other mini-riots in Brixton since; in 1995, sparked by the death of Wayne Douglas in police custody (the Dogstar had its windows put in; Frank Johnson's was done over, again); and in 2000, when police shot a man who they thought was armed, but wasn't.

	Racism
		There were further riots by immigrant and minority populations in East London during the 1930s, Notting Hill in the 1950s, and Brixton, Toxteth and Blackbird Leys, Oxford in the 1980s.
		These riots have followed cases of perceived racism - either the public displays of racist sentiment (including crimes aganst members of ethnic minorities which were subsequently ignored by the authorities), or, as in the Brixton and Toxteth riots, racial profiling and alleged harassment by the police force.
		Racism in one form or another was widespread in Britain before the twentieth century, and during the 1900s particularly towards Jewish groups and immigrants from Eastern Europe.

		They added that they would bug any meeting where they thought a riot was being planned; this would presumably mean the automatic bugging of any fl defence campaign meeting after (for example) a death in police custody, and the bugging of community activists' homes on a regular basis.
		Ravers, squatters and participants in 'trespassatory assemblies' were all criminalised by the 1995 Act, while the 1996 Act criminalises people who help illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers, and those who employ immigrants who don't have permission to work in Britain.
		Since the abolition of the right to silence by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1995, criminal suspects held in police stations have been under more pressure, as at trial an inference of guilt can be drawn from a failure to answer police questions.
