Gangs of far right racist thugs are attacking immigrants on the streets and in their homes. And the police are raiding parties in Brixton which ratchets up resentment.

Gangs of far right racist thugs are attacking immigrants on the streets and in their homes.
Now they’re turning their attention to black power organisations and Brixton is in their sights – with terrifying consequences.
And one man is on trial for a string of crimes he didn’t commit.
Will the British justice system prevail?

And in episode 4: Sound systems. Reggae. Blues parties. Music pulses through Brixton - it’s a way of life and provides an escape from a tough world. But police are raiding parties which ratchets up resentment against the authorities. And Brixton’s thriving gay community shares this sense of persecution.

This podcast includes strong language, racist terms and descriptions of violence.
