00:00:28,168 --> 00:00:30,(PA PLAYS ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA)

00:00:30,602 --> 00:00:34,(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

00:00:47,764 --> 00:00:50,MAN: Oi! Oi!

00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:52,(YELLING)

00:00:55,388 --> 00:00:57,Oi! Oi.

00:00:57,423 --> 00:01:00,(YELLS INDISTINCTLY)

00:01:04,288 --> 00:01:08,(CHANTING)
Skinheads! Skinheads! Skinheads!

00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,National Front.
We're all National Front.

00:01:10,594 --> 00:01:18,WOMAN: You're all National Front.
Why? They're not English!
They don't belong here.

00:01:24,005 --> 00:01:29,Our campaign is a cultural campaign.
Therefore, if we're against racism,
we're a cultural organisation —

00:01:29,153 --> 00:01:32,we're against racism in all facets
of British life. We're not just
interested in...

00:01:32,985 --> 00:01:36,the fight against the National Front.
It's the fight against racism in
British society.

00:01:36,936 --> 00:01:40,The all—round, family British racism.
You know what I mean?

00:01:40,089 --> 00:01:44,# THE CLASH: London Calling

00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:48,Do you want this country
to become occupied

00:01:48,431 --> 00:01:55,by a load of khaki—coloured
multiracial bastards?

00:02:00,325 --> 00:02:03,# London calling to the faraway towns

00:02:03,717 --> 00:02:07,# Now war is declared
and battle come down

00:02:07,549 --> 00:02:10,# London calling to the underworld

00:02:10,822 --> 00:02:14,# Come out of the cupboard,
you boys and girls

00:02:14,733 --> 00:02:18,# London calling —
now, don't look to us

00:02:18,325 --> 00:02:22,# Phony Beatlemania
has bitten the dust

00:02:22,117 --> 00:02:25,# London calling, see,
we ain't g***t no swing

00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:29,# 'Cept for the ring
of that truncheon thing

00:02:29,181 --> 00:02:32,# The ice age is coming,
the sun's zooming in

00:02:32,933 --> 00:02:36,# Meltdown expected,
the wheat is growing thin

00:02:36,405 --> 00:02:40,# Engines stop running,
but I have no fear

00:02:40,117 --> 00:02:45,# Cos London is drowning,
and I live by the river

00:02:45,585 --> 00:02:48,# London calling to
the imitation zone

00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:52,# Forget it, brother... #

00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:19,I was involved, as I always had been,

00:03:19,191 --> 00:03:22,since I first became
culturally active on the left —

00:03:22,225 --> 00:03:24,or an artist on the left —
running a studio.

00:03:24,659 --> 00:03:27,My studio was in Soho,
in the West End.

00:03:27,054 --> 00:03:34,We had an agitprop theatre group
called the Kartoon Klowns.

00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:39,(HARSH MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

00:03:42,340 --> 00:03:46,WOMAN: Our information now
is that there is a strange phenomena
on planet Earth —

00:03:46,451 --> 00:03:50,a ruling class, which is corrupt.

00:03:50,004 --> 00:03:55,In the evenings, we'd rehearse
at my studio — in the day I'd be
a working photographer.

00:03:55,192 --> 00:03:59,I was asked by NME, 'Will you come
down and photograph the punk night?‘

00:03:59,223 --> 00:04:03,Here I **, down the ICA
and, suddenly, the Clash come on —
and'bangtu

00:04:03,973 --> 00:04:07,# THE CLASH: White Riot

00:04:12,634 --> 00:04:17,15 minutes of unbelievable
energy and power and volume,

00:04:17,423 --> 00:04:21,and lyrics about unemployment
and youth alienation and, like,

00:04:21,774 --> 00:04:27,'Jesus Christ'. And then
they were gone. They were off.

00:04:27,481 --> 00:04:29,The economic situation
was really bad.

00:04:29,676 --> 00:04:31,The IMF had moved in —

00:04:31,951 --> 00:04:37,they were putting pressure on
wage cuts and social services cuts.

00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:43,The whole atmosphere
was really dark and hard.

00:04:43,685 --> 00:04:46,The right—wing press
playing the same old tune —

00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,"We're gonna be swamped.
We're gonna be mobbed."

00:04:51,029 --> 00:04:55,To where would you repatriate those
immigrants who were born here?

00:04:55,180 --> 00:04:57,To where they wanted to go.

00:04:57,615 --> 00:05:02,In most cases, they are the citizens
of their countries of origin —

00:05:02,045 --> 00:05:04,although born in this country.

00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,A person would be
physically seized and deported —

00:05:08,271 --> 00:05:14,like a person being erm...
taken onboard

00:05:14,178 --> 00:05:17,Her Majesty's ships of war
at the end of the 18th century.

00:05:17,172 --> 00:05:19,So where would you draw the line,
Mr Powell?

00:05:19,886 --> 00:05:23,I draw it short of that.

00:05:28,347 --> 00:05:32,The National Front
were growing incredibly.

00:05:32,658 --> 00:05:34,Webster was a clever organiser.

00:05:34,813 --> 00:05:37,He started to march in the right
places — make the right noises.

00:05:37,766 --> 00:05:44,They were, as they said, 'kicking
their way onto the headlines'.

00:05:44,871 --> 00:05:48,Keep our country free from invasion

00:05:48,144 --> 00:05:52,when the invaders have g***t black,
brown and yellow faces!

00:05:52,933 --> 00:05:56,(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

00:06:06,543 --> 00:06:09,ROGER HUDDLE: I was talking
to Red in the pub.

00:06:09,018 --> 00:06:12,We was both really concerned about
the rise of the National Front,

00:06:12,330 --> 00:06:16,erm...especially around my area,
in Walthamstow.

00:06:16,122 --> 00:06:19,(MILITARISTIC DRUMMING)

00:06:20,991 --> 00:06:26,They was using the usual scapegoats
— Asians, blacks...whatever.

00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:30,And so, we said,
'What we need to do is do a gig.'

00:06:30,770 --> 00:06:33,A thing called Rock Against Racism.

00:06:33,324 --> 00:06:40,Also, Bowie was coming out with
a load of crap as well at the time.

00:06:40,149 --> 00:06:48,And then Clapton came out with
all that racist s***t in Birmingham.

00:06:50,207 --> 00:06:54,We all know of Eric Clapton
as the great blues guitarist —

00:06:54,438 --> 00:06:57,the God...hero of blues guitar.

00:06:57,591 --> 00:07:02,And blues that came out of slavery,
and here he is supporting the man,

00:07:02,181 --> 00:07:05,Enoch Powell, who's the greatest
supporter of white supremacy

00:07:05,214 --> 00:07:07,in Britain at that time.

00:07:07,250 --> 00:07:12,At first, we just didn't believe it.

00:07:28,802 --> 00:07:31,I was so angry about it,

00:07:31,516 --> 00:07:33,I just went, 'We've g***t to do
something about this.‘

00:07:33,911 --> 00:07:37,I have the answer.

00:07:40,816 --> 00:07:42,(READS)

00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:15,I just went, 'I've g***t to send it
to all the music press.‘

00:08:15,978 --> 00:08:22,About two weeks later,
it was published.

00:08:35,935 --> 00:08:39,I saw Red's letter in the NME.

00:08:39,088 --> 00:08:42,I wrote back to Red quite quickly,
and he wrote back to me

00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,and invited me along to a meeting.

00:08:54,414 --> 00:08:57,One rainy night,
I went over to the East End,

00:08:57,527 --> 00:08:59,and the people in the room
were artists

00:08:59,882 --> 00:09:03,and writers and political activists.

00:09:03,195 --> 00:09:07,It was immediate — I thought,
'This is a gang I'd like to join.‘

00:09:07,106 --> 00:09:10,# 999: So Greedy

00:09:13,931 --> 00:09:17,I was going into the print shop
fairly regularly.

00:09:17,004 --> 00:09:21,There was Syd and Ruth,
so they naturally gravitated,

00:09:21,474 --> 00:09:25,and the energy and the excitement
of it, and the potential of it,

00:09:25,306 --> 00:09:31,was what pulled
all these people onboard.

00:09:31,891 --> 00:09:35,Syd, he'd been a documentary—style
photographer in Australia,

00:09:35,603 --> 00:09:39,so it was quite natural,
when he came here to London,

00:09:39,355 --> 00:09:45,that he would have his camera
with him.

00:09:45,063 --> 00:09:48,Ruth really knew what she was doing —
she had the graphic sensibility

00:09:48,814 --> 00:09:56,and power that sink right in
to the punk explosion.

00:09:58,194 --> 00:10:01,RUTH GREGORY: This photograph
comes out of ID Magazine.

00:10:01,866 --> 00:10:09,I have whited it out,
I think, using Tipp—Ex. (LAUGHS)

00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:18,This is the very first fanzine
we ever did.

00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:20,I'd had the idea of 'Temporary
Hoarding'. It said it so well —

00:10:20,944 --> 00:10:24,It was like a street hoarding,
like a rough thing in the street.

00:10:24,137 --> 00:10:29,Then, purely by accident, the word
'RAR' happened to be in 'Temporary',
which was great.

00:10:29,485 --> 00:10:32,It was very much a cut—and—paste
kind of approach.

00:10:32,957 --> 00:10:36,I found this quote from Rod Stewart.
I really liked Rod Stewart.

00:10:36,509 --> 00:10:39,He says, 'I think Enoch Powell
is the man. I'm for him.

00:10:39,622 --> 00:10:44,This country's overcrowded.
The immigrants should be sent home.
That's it.'

00:10:44,172 --> 00:10:48,This is the man who
just moved to Los Angeles, you know?
I mean, the man's full of s***t.

00:10:48,643 --> 00:10:55,I g***t rid of all his albums.
I haven't listened to him since,
which is a great shame.

00:10:55,827 -->...
