A personal account of the racist policing which sparked riots in the Toxteth area of Liverpool in 1981.
Providing analysis and criticism (mostly criticism).
This leaflet was produced at the end of October and therefore before Madrid imposed direct rule on Catalonia... But it still makes the important points!

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).
