Episode 7: Brixton Burns
This is it. Tensions in Brixton have been simmering for months. Years. Decades. Now it’s all going to explode in a weekend of rioting which will change the face of Britain.
Molotov cocktails, burning buildings, police cars smashed, running battles on the streets - London has never seen anything like this. Brixton explodes in an orgy of violence fuelled by a boiling sense of anger and injustice among the black community.
This podcast includes strong language, use of racist terms and descriptions of violence.
