@5:32 Listen carefully as the cameraman makes his opinion known

[@letsdiscussitoversometea8479]

Fightgame100 were *you* the cameraman that day? What leads you to say that it was the camera operator who was voicing [an] opinion, and what leads you to _suggest,_ that what was being discussed, was exclusively, "an opinion" - and about _whom?_ Personally, I picked up a very negative vibe from what I saw on this video. The estate seems to be devoid of ANY sort of community spirit, just an incredibly toxic atmosphere. In fact, I would probably have been scared to be in that area back then, because I would likely have sensed, that I would probably have been targeted. One thing that I *_did_* notice, is that the architecture of the blocks, seemed reminiscent of a prison. Very drab, cold, and austere. I wonder if there had been any intention to affect the mood of the residents by implementing this design? Maybe a very cruel architect??

The house that got burnt in this video was where I lived in Adams Road my mum & dad with me & my sister lived downstairs I just turned 4 years old in the August and my sister just turned 1 years old in the September I remember that night so clear

[@michelleedwards346]

Hi. Very interesting clip. Where do I find the whole broadcast, please? Keen to speak to the journalists/producer involved.

[@williammohan9784]

i was in the Job for 30 years and i was a level 2 Public order officer and for a time a Public Order instructor. I was in all the major riots of the 80s. 90s and the early noughties and it was at the Farm that i thought I could be killed here. It was that bad

[@ahippy8972]

Back when police were over 6 foot tall

[@visiow2691]

Yeah when they we’re called tit heads

[@JwiseTheRealist]

The only it was safe for the Ice Cream Van to be on the Farm was when the police was there

Concrete jungle ( literally )

[@rjjcms1]

It looked grim then. The footage of the riots I saw on the telly and in the newspapers was taken on the night,so having never visited the place I had no idea of what it truly looked like in daylight. I was away in Germany when this happened,but I was able to get the papers,probably at least a day late,to keep in touch with what was going on back in Blighty and I probably saw something about it on the German evening news.

That's why scorcher named that the name of his mixtape

[@ellismeah5127]

It's very sad that so many people want to live a lawless life ,then start blaming everyone else when it goes wrong

[@cjl-uda4048]

The police were responsible for the deaths of 2 black people, killed for seemingly no reason. They are at fault

[@andrewdillon1525]

He was beheaded absolutely disgusting

[@djdefk2]

No he wasn’t stop being overtly silly. That was just a rumour that the media pick up on and scandalised! That’s why we call newspapers rags!

[@levibowden]

How did the ice cream van survive?

[@simonmclean09]

The amount of time and money that is wasted on this shit is ridiculous. All we do is slow ourselves down

[@caledonianson927]

The fact that they called the place a farm reflected how the police treated the residents.

[@jneal21]

Caledonian Son Oh maybe because it was on the site of an old farm...

[@southlondon86]

And the fact they named kings cross as it is reflected how they treated it like royalty.

Racial tension

[@jackpotwinner8486]

Chad Pandapneumonium you won’t get yours back until you give Africans and Asians reparations for everything you stole. Pay back all the Africans you displaced all over the world and return our gold, diamonds and artefacts then we will leave. Until then deal with it you prick. The chickens are coming home to roost

[@jackpotwinner8486]

Britain has centuries of blood on its hands and our generation will fight for our ancestors

[@jneal21]

Jackpot Winner I agree but most of the people affected by multiculturalism and racial tensions are working class white people who’ve got nothing to do with owning slaves that was the rich elite. And the white working class poor were always mistreated by the rich as well, we should unite instead of be separated

[@Billy-je6mq]

@@jneal21 facts don't matter to the bourgeois liberals or the twats who follow the ideology. The irony being before white Europeans enslaved black/ brown folk, black and brown folk were enslaving white Europeans.
