During my time stationed in the UK (late 80s) the black Brits were really decent, hard working people. A lot of them were immigrants and kids of immigrants from Africa and the Carribean. What the hell happened in the last 30 years?

You don't remember the Brixton race riots in 1981 and 1985? Or Bradford in 1995? The 1980s were a time of great racial strife in the UK.

Long history of race rioting

Long history of race riots...

Yeah. Race riots for the last 30 years, none for the previous 6000 years.

Gee, lemme see now, what changed...what’s different....

Guns of Brixton - The Clash

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you’ll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
BORN under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin’
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you’ll have to answer to
Oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
And even shoot us
But oh- the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin’
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you’ll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
