The lad whose arrest kicked it all off is a face in the area now and he visited one of our stalls a few years back. We had a good conversation about the police and prisons. Good lad.
I once did some labouring in Liverpool. A white scouse old timer recalled that the episode was 'like zulu but in reverse'.
Reddebrek, to embed videos from youtube you need to click 'share' under the video on youtube, then click 'embed' and then copy that code into the main body of the article on libcom. Then, before you submit, click where it says 'input format' just under the section on libcom you've just copied the code into and select 'Full HTML'. Then it should be visible to everyone (I've done it above if you want to have a look).
