I challenge anyone to read about how gangs of Teddy Boys ‘cruised the streets’ in the 1950s with iron bars, table legs and knives, looking for West Indians, Africans or Asians to assault, or Paki-bashing skinhead gangs who murdered taxi drivers, students and restaurant workers in the 1970s and 1980s, and not be taken back to the atmosphere of the 1857 Uprising or the Morant Bay Rebellion.
