Chapeltown, Leeds, UK : June 1987 - Documentary about riots after the arrest of Marcus Skellington 

I hear he is no longer amongst us RIP. How did he pass away?

@@isaz597 I believe it was heart attack

@@robertedwardz I’m from Leeds ( Little London) and I was 14 years old in 1987. Marcus looks like he was about the same age and I’m 48 now. He passed away young ( RIP ) .

@@kc1973able is Leeds dodgy than Birmingham

​@@saiguddati2303not at all, chapeltowns a pretty welcoming place, im a southern bloke living here for a year n a half now and still love it

Max Farrar Thanks- here's another Chapeltown documentary that I posted 1 month ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V_YYgSoS7As.html

true!!!!!

Tom W because if everyone who does well moves out of the area it stays a shit hole. There needs to be motivation for successful people to stay

Bollox!,I couldn't piss n Leeds without pissing on a racist white privilege bastard,said SKINHEAD,SKA MAHN!

Halton Moor is a breeding ground for n words.

Lots of investment now. It's full of middle class white people. (2021 Feb)

@@ldn876 said who?😂😂😂my guy said full of middle class white people

That's what they said back then 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is it really so bad that you seem to encourage physical violence against someone just for using a phrase? I am surprised that some people are so obsessed by racism, in this case very mild and unintentional 'racism', that they would think that it's reasonable to attack someone for such a petty reason. Some people need to get a grip, being lynched by the KKK is racism, some copper in the 1980's saying a word that you don't like isn't really racism is it?

@@ThatCarGuy1983 still racist

@@yikes5522 So? In africa they publicly said "Boil white babies in a bath of acid" To a crowd that agreed... Yes racist

Most Definitely 👋🏾

It was always peaceful. It is not like clashes happened every day. If you know, you know.

No its not..

No it’s not, never was

Is it fuck 😂😂 and it never has been. An absolute cesspit

Chapeltown is a lot safer now - I lived there in the 70/80s

Jake K Darcus Howe is the name of the narrator

б б б yea that’s where ive heard the voice

Yet you’re the aboriginal 🤯

@@KarmasAbutch AM I THANX I THINK, 💙.

Margaret targeted who she felt was the cause. I would trust her judgement over yours. She was a controversial politician though a great one. That’s why she had the name ‘the iron lady’ stuck by her principles even if we disagreed with her

@@EpicAelflaed not just my opinion mate, didn't u get milk at school, or maybe ask the miners or the unions, she put a stop to all these.

"we have no inclination to cause racial tension" 🤣🤣🤡

@@JohnRamboDaBoss I said that, thanks for stealing my quote 👍

@@Dragonbreath2807 I was quoting delusional nonsense.

@@JohnRamboDaBoss Recollections of events may vary.

Because most were selling crack and heroin

I dont know if that's true or whether they were the only ones. There must be a reason for people to sell crack and heroin. Something must have made it attractive than an alternative. Anyways I was talking about what they went through and have been going through at the hands of British society and the British Government since they were invited here to rebuild the war torn slums up till Windrush to unsettle them and their children ....in Boris Johnson's terms ....treating Britian like their home......lol!

@@Hoxton66 Paul I respect your opinion and while I agree for the most, it's wrong to generalise and seperate...progeny of all immigrants and those of *White British* all do the same things- succeed and fail. If we want to be very accurate and critical, we would have to get the statistics and see, that youths from all ethnicities who are facing poverty, disillusionment, feel stunned like deer stepping from the woods into strong headlights..they grow up deprived and confused, lacking any connection to their culture or white British culture and they are bot sure about the meshed/ formed culture they have to adapt to....and this is by design

@@leos8977 yes you are right all kinds of people do them things. but look at the statistics over the years. They are stabed or shot black British young adults mostly. Somalis....but yes you are right....but people cant say the police pick on black people only its because the statistics there all black gangs if you want to call it gangs. ....I've got mixed race nephews and neices in my family and are all honest young adults who work so there is work for everyone so no excuses about if you are black it's hard in England for them it's just excuses .

@@Hoxton66 Well I didnt know that they break down the statistics into national origin..deeper than race.. I however know that the public's perception is warped by the media and their interests. Additionally, I think the police also their job Gov is who designs the system to pick on vulnerable class of people across the spectrum of society. They decide to implement, pull back and return stop and search ....which is dead as a duck in the water...if its aim is to stop or solve crime rather than terrorise dark skinned people..majority of people in this society are cracking on and paying taxes mind you...I suppose the Good suffers for the bad....but all good across society must face the same laws and then we will revisit the policies and arguments.... Good on your mixed-race family doing well, but there are also white and blacks doing well too.
