1
00:01:08,690 --> 00:01:13,450
NOTTING HILL, LONDON, 1968

2
00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:04,810
WOGS OUT

3
00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:18,530
These are new men,
new types of human beings.

4
00:02:19,650 --> 00:02:21,450
It is in them that are to be found

5
00:02:22,010 --> 00:02:25,010
all the traditional virtues
of the English nation,

6
00:02:25,210 --> 00:02:30,450
not in decay as they are in official
society, but in full flower...

7
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:32,050
Rita.

8
00:02:32,210 --> 00:02:34,490
...because these men
have perspective...

9
00:02:34,570 --> 00:02:35,570
Is where you been?

10
00:02:35,650 --> 00:02:38,570
Note particularly that they glory
in the struggle.

11
00:02:39,130 --> 00:02:42,890
They are not demoralised or defeated
or despairing persons.

12
00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:47,890
They are leaders, but are rooted deep
among those they lead.

13
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:53,450
Linton, I tell you enough times yuh
catching your tail in front of here.

14
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:56,050
Just liming with the limers, man.

15
00:02:56,850 --> 00:02:59,090
Get yuh backside somewhere else.

16
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:14,010
Oh, man.
Respect, bright man.

17
00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:30,210
BLACK OWNERSHIP

18
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:37,010
The place stinking of varnish.

19
00:03:37,330 --> 00:03:40,050
When we have cook up,
no one will smell nutting.

20
00:03:40,530 --> 00:03:43,090
We need a little something to make
the place look nice, no?

21
00:03:43,170 --> 00:03:46,850
Yuh asking me? And all day Kendrick
sitting on his backside.

22
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:54,890
Kendrick, run down the market and get
some flowers for our opening night.

23
00:03:55,930 --> 00:03:58,890
I don't know a thing about flowers.
What if someone seen me?

24
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:00,930
Say yuh in love. Go.

25
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:08,490
Yuh see what I mean, Frank.
Good for nutten.

26
00:04:17,370 --> 00:04:18,850
Miss Agnes?

27
00:04:18,970 --> 00:04:20,370
- Mr Charles?
- Yes, sir?

28
00:04:20,450 --> 00:04:24,530
Okay, we gonna do fish curry.
Goat curry. Mutton curry.

29
00:04:24,890 --> 00:04:25,890
Yes, sir.

30
00:04:25,970 --> 00:04:30,450
Me mother's crab and dumpling. But
first, we will start with the roots.

31
00:04:33,530 --> 00:04:35,570
The Trinidadian barrister,
Darcus Howe,

32
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:38,770
thinks things could build
up dangerous social tensions.

33
00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:43,210
The policeman who,
who frames a black man is doing so

34
00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:47,010
with a confidence that the system
is going to give him a conviction.

35
00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:51,970
And the section of the community
who one must call the most alienated

36
00:04:52,130 --> 00:04:54,090
either are going to turn to crime

37
00:04:54,730 --> 00:04:57,170
in that they are going
to be arrested anyway,

38
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:00,570
or seek their revenge against
the society in another form.

39
00:05:01,370 --> 00:05:05,890
Now, at this point in time that form
has not been expressed

40
00:05:06,010 --> 00:05:09,490
and I hope it wouldn't be
but one must be very direct here,

41
00:05:10,770 --> 00:05:13,570
and say that the police
must either stop it

42
00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:17,010
or the black community will have
to stop them doing it.

43
00:05:20,810 --> 00:05:22,210
Excellent work!

44
00:05:22,330 --> 00:05:26,210
A toast, a toast.
A toast to my beautiful wife Selma,

45
00:05:26,370 --> 00:05:29,330
who brought this vitally important
programme together.

46
00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:33,410
And to my husband, the great CLR James,
who I thank for his love and support.

47
00:05:33,530 --> 00:05:37,850
And Darcus. He's a leader!
He'll make a great lawyer one day.

48
00:05:38,050 --> 00:05:40,610
Yeah, he done alright, didn't he?
But let's get one thing straight:

49
00:05:40,690 --> 00:05:45,290
Darcus isn't interested in being a
barrister. He is interested in change.

50
00:05:46,130 --> 00:05:48,130
- To change.
- Change...

51
00:05:50,010 --> 00:05:51,410
Hey, bruh.

52
00:05:52,050 --> 00:05:53,730
What's happening?

53
00:05:55,090 --> 00:05:57,090
Oh, so my brudda gone all bourgeois
in de ghetto.

54
00:05:57,170 --> 00:05:59,050
You wanna cappuccino?

55
00:05:59,210 --> 00:06:02,610
Hey, Frank. Listen,
to de Mangrove. A fresh thing.

56
00:06:03,130 --> 00:06:04,930
A fresh thing, yes!

57
00:06:05,410 --> 00:06:07,010
I'll drink to that.

58
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:12,850
Frank... Come on!

59
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:20,210
Come on, everybody. Let's play outside.
Come on...

60
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:41,130
You see the thing about the black
man is he's got his place.

61
00:07:43,250 --> 00:07:45,290
He's just gotta know his place.

62
00:07:47,210 --> 00:07:50,170
If he oversteps he's gotta
be gently nudged back in...

63
00:07:53,650 --> 00:07:56,490
And then you get the odd one or two
who need more of a...

64
00:07:57,090 --> 00:08:00,330
you know... just like the Micks.

65
00:08:04,410 --> 00:08:07,890
What you have to understand, Dickie,
is that the army isn't up for it.

66
00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:10,730
Not like the old days
when they'd have got

67
00:08:10,930 --> 00:08:13,290
a small battalion together
and, bam.

68
00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:16,410
Wipe the whole lot out in one go...

69
00:08:21,690 --> 00:08:23,730
Did you ever want
to be in the army?

70
00:08:23,810 --> 00:08:28,010
No. I grew up thinking
I'd never see my country

71
00:08:28,170 --> 00:08:30,610
fighting anyone
else's war ever again.

72
00:08:31,170 --> 00:08:33,610
That's why I'm Bill through
and through.

73
00:08:34,570 --> 00:08:39,650
But you never wanted to, you know,
be a sergeant or anything?

74
00:08:46,050 --> 00:08:47,570
I've seen enough.

75
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:57,010
- You reading Black Jacobins again?
- That's what you should be teaching.

76
00:08:57,130 --> 00:08:58,770
They're primary school children,

77
00:08:58,850 --> 00:09:01,410
I'm not sure they're ready
for Black Jacobins just yet.

78
00:09:01,490 --> 00:09:03,410
You're never too young to start.

79
00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:06,290
I've lost count of the amount
of times I've read it.

80
00:09:07,010 --> 00:09:08,530
What are you on about?

81
00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:11,770
One TV show and you think you're
the second coming or what?

82
00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:14,810
No. But not far behind.

83
00:09:15,370 --> 00:09:17,210
Oh, it's all about you, innit?

84
00:09:21,010 --> 00:09:25,690
You grew up in a society where black
people were the majority, yeah?

85
00:09:26,050 --> 00:09:30,090
I grew up in an environment
where I was the minority.

86
00:09:30,290 --> 00:09:35,290
From day one I was judged as being
'too Negroid' to be adopted.

87
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:39,490
So don't you come at me with your lofty
words and your Black Jacobins, alright?

88
00:10:00,690 --> 00:10:03,810
Look, you're right to say that
sometimes words aren't enough.

89
00:10:03,890 --> 00:10:08,650
But know this... No one is going
to help us unless we help ourselves.

90
00:10:10,090 --> 00:10:15,530
Yeah, you're absolutely right,
actions do speak louder than words.

91
00:10:17,490 --> 00:10:22,530
And the first thing that I want you
to do is tidy up the bloody mess

92
00:10:22,650 --> 00:10:24,610
that you have made in the kitchen.

93
00:10:27,570 --> 00:10:29,130
Move it!

94
00:10:31,210 --> 00:10:34,570
You still there? Good for nothing
but making a whole of a mess.

95
00:10:36,250 --> 00:10:39,370
Yuh varnish your house like this?
You stinking up the place!

96
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:59,610
PC Pulley.
Yes, how can I help you?

97
00:10:59,810 --> 00:11:03,130
I want to talk to the manager
of this fancy new... what is it?

98
00:11:04,090 --> 00:11:06,810
It's a restaurant.
And I is the owner, not the manager.

99
00:11:06,890 --> 00:11:10,490
- Aren't you the golden goose?
- Yeah, and we closed right now.

100
00:11:10,890 --> 00:11:12,770
Smells like a sex club
to me, Mr Crichlow.

101
00:11:12,850 --> 00:11:16,130
No, sir, sex club is not my thing.
We setting up for lunch...

102
00:11:16,530 --> 00:11:18,130
So how about a sausage
and egg then?

103
00:11:18,210 --> 00:11:20,210
Yeah, the Mangrove don't do
that kind of thing.

104
00:11:20,290 --> 00:11:23,050
It's just spicy food you know.
For a particular palate.

105
00:11:23,450 --> 00:11:26,250
Irregardless you have to book
to eat here.

106
00:11:26,410 --> 00:11:28,130
What, with this?

107
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:30,690
No. With our reservation book.

108
00:11:31,170 --> 00:11:32,410
Do I have to spell it out?

109
00:11:32,490 --> 00:11:35,930
No, I understand enough.
I met many a hustler, Constable.

110
00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:38,730
- What did you just call me?
- I call you Constable.

111
00:11:38,810 --> 00:11:41,370
- Maybe you're an Officer now.
- I'll arrest you right now, bastard.

112
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:42,770
Arrest me for what?

113
00:11:42,850 --> 00:11:46,610
I haven't forgotten your antics at your
last shithole. The Rio. Degenerates.

114
00:11:46,690 --> 00:11:49,210
- Illegal gambling, ponces, nonces...
- This is a new business.

115
00:11:49,330 --> 00:11:52,330
- Late night queer parties.
- It's a different kind of thing.

116
00:11:52,490 --> 00:11:54,370
- Drug-dealing.
- I've never taken drugs in my life.

117
00:11:54,450 --> 00:11:56,570
We'll shut you down
before you can say, eenie...

118
00:11:56,730 --> 00:11:59,010
- I don't want no trouble.
- We got company...

119
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:02,330
- Hey, leave the Mangrove alone.
- Leave him alone.

120
00:12:02,410 --> 00:12:04,450
- He said move.
- Leave the Mangrove alone.

121
00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:07,450
- Move on, Pulley. Move on.
- Move your backside from our area.

122
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:11,250
- You not got jobs to go to?
- Get out of here, man. Get out.

123
00:12:12,210 --> 00:12:14,210
Move your backside. Move.

124
00:12:14,690 --> 00:12:16,650
The Mangrove is a restaurant.

125
00:12:17,090 --> 00:12:20,410
It serves West Indian cuisine to people
who eat that kind of food.

126
00:12:20,850 --> 00:12:22,770
Just like any other restaurant.

127
00:12:22,890 --> 00:12:27,730
Greek, French, English,
for that matter. We the Mangrove.

128
00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:31,890
We pay we taxes, we pay we bills,
and we pay we staff.

129
00:12:32,850 --> 00:12:35,290
You gonna try and arrest
me for that, or what?

130
00:12:35,410 --> 00:12:37,650
- Yes, Frank.
- Tell him, Frank. Tell him.

131
00:12:46,010 --> 00:12:47,650
You can't out-smart them
blue necks, man.

132
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:50,770
No! The Mangrove ain't nothing
like the Rio.

133
00:12:51,770 --> 00:12:54,730
They have no business here so long
as we keep the place clean.

134
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:56,490
End of the story.

135
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:06,650
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.

136
00:13:07,490 --> 00:13:09,170
My name is Altheia Jones.

137
00:13:10,250 --> 00:13:13,370
I am a student studying biochemistry
in this country,

138
00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:18,370
but today I am here as a member
of the Black Panther movement.

139
00:13:19,970 --> 00:13:22,570
I have been invited here by your
trade union

140
00:13:22,930 --> 00:13:28,050
to talk you about your workers' rights
and your power as a collective force.

141
00:13:29,530 --> 00:13:33,410
We have discovered,
discovered and rediscovered,

142
00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:37,370
the ways in which we can overcome
the fragmentation

143
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:40,570
our people have suffered
throughout our history.

144
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:43,850
The way is through joining
the struggle

145
00:13:44,050 --> 00:13:46,970
and being part
of an organised struggle.

146
00:13:47,730 --> 00:13:50,730
For it is the struggle actually,
which makes us whole.

147
00:13:50,970 --> 00:13:53,530
So I have come here today
to encourage you

148
00:13:53,890 --> 00:13:56,610
to actively support
your trade union.

149
00:13:56,850 --> 00:14:00,290
Because the virtue of lending
your voice to collective bargaining

150
00:14:00,410 --> 00:14:03,130
is that together
we become stronger.

151
00:14:06,890 --> 00:14:11,170
If colonialism is good for anything
it brought us together on this table.

152
00:14:12,770 --> 00:14:15,610
- Sorry, where's your bathroom?
- Through the kitchen.

153
00:14:16,370 --> 00:14:17,930
Excuse me.

154
00:14:24,090 --> 00:14:25,770
Good evening...

155
00:14:34,330 --> 00:14:36,130
Skippy never used to go home.

156
00:14:36,690 --> 00:14:39,490
Skippy carries his toothbrush
in his suit pocket.

157
00:14:43,450 --> 00:14:47,490
But that was the Rio.
And this place ain't nothing like that.

158
00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:49,450
Cappuccino...

159
00:14:49,730 --> 00:14:52,930
I think they were serving
a different type of coffee at the Rio.

160
00:15:41,930 --> 00:15:44,930
Frank. A beautiful evening.
Thank you very much...

161
00:15:45,770 --> 00:15:48,010
- I hope you're walking.
- No, I'm flying.

162
00:15:49,930 --> 00:15:51,450
Goodnight, goodnight.

163
00:15:53,050 --> 00:15:55,210
When all the girls
in town feeling bad,...

164
00:15:55,290 --> 00:15:57,210
No more Yankees in Trinidad...

165
00:15:57,370 --> 00:15:59,330
They going to close down
the base for good

166
00:15:59,410 --> 00:16:01,490
Them girls have to make
out all they could...

167
00:16:01,570 --> 00:16:03,410
Brother is now
they park up in town

168
00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:05,370
In for a penny,
and in for a pound

169
00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:07,570
Believe me it's competition for so

170
00:16:07,690 --> 00:16:09,690
Trouble in the town
when the price drop low

171
00:16:09,770 --> 00:16:11,530
So when you bounce up
Jean and Dinah

172
00:16:11,610 --> 00:16:15,770
Rosita and Clemintina,
round the corner posing

173
00:16:16,010 --> 00:16:18,370
Bet your life is something they selling

174
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:20,170
And if you catch them broken

175
00:16:20,250 --> 00:16:21,970
You can get them all for nothing

176
00:16:22,050 --> 00:16:24,810
Don't make a row, the yankees gone,

177
00:16:24,970 --> 00:16:26,610
Sparrow take over now

178
00:16:36,010 --> 00:16:38,130
Hey, I sorry, yeah.
I miss the bus now

179
00:16:39,090 --> 00:16:43,330
See, this is why I don't wait
for nobody. I said meet me at two.

180
00:16:43,410 --> 00:16:46,330
- You better be here for two.
- Look, just fifteen minutes, now.

181
00:16:46,530 --> 00:16:50,570
No excuses, man.
Now we're late, and I'm never late.

182
00:16:50,970 --> 00:16:53,130
The government believes
the British state,

183
00:16:53,250 --> 00:16:56,570
with over a million black people living
here now, is in grave danger.

184
00:16:56,650 --> 00:16:58,210
Yeah, Roddy speak truth, nuh.

185
00:16:58,290 --> 00:17:01,370
But that shouldn't come as a surprise
to any of us here.

186
00:17:01,530 --> 00:17:04,690
I think the Black Panthers need
to actively prepare

187
00:17:04,810 --> 00:17:07,970
in order to defend the Black
institutions and businesses

188
00:17:08,090 --> 00:17:09,570
that can come under threat.

189
00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:11,370
Like Frank Crichlow
over at the Mangrove.

190
00:17:11,450 --> 00:17:13,890
C'mon, man, Frank is not interested
in the movement...

191
00:17:13,970 --> 00:17:14,970
What you mean?

192
00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:17,010
We have nutten but love
for the man, Frank, alright,

193
00:17:17,090 --> 00:17:19,490
but that man blood run
purer than politics.

194
00:17:19,650 --> 00:17:22,130
If you can call an inveterate
gambler pure.

195
00:17:22,210 --> 00:17:23,810
- No, listen.
- You're wicked you, you know.

196
00:17:23,890 --> 00:17:26,810
Frank is a charming and gentle person
who doesn't realise

197
00:17:26,890 --> 00:17:30,650
what he has done for our community
in simply providing us the space.

198
00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:34,850
The Mangrove is now a focal point for
black people to come and sit, talk,

199
00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:38,370
and exchange views.
That is a rare and precious gift.

200
00:17:38,490 --> 00:17:41,610
Damn right. And that Betty
make the best roti.

201
00:17:44,370 --> 00:17:48,530
But seriously talking, we need
to defend ourselves against Powell

202
00:17:49,370 --> 00:17:51,250
and his Rivers of Blood nonsense,

203
00:17:51,410 --> 00:17:53,930
before that stream winds
its way to our door.

204
00:17:54,010 --> 00:17:58,290
Guy need to wind himself into the
sewer, damn rat. Talking foolishness.

205
00:18:02,810 --> 00:18:04,210
Ladies first, yeah...

206
00:18:05,650 --> 00:18:07,570
You know how long
I've been waiting?

207
00:18:07,650 --> 00:18:10,370
All complaints go through
the old lady of the house...

208
00:18:18,610 --> 00:18:20,610
Up! Get up, you black bastard.

209
00:18:22,050 --> 00:18:24,530
- Don't fucking move!
- Where is your warrant?

210
00:18:26,530 --> 00:18:27,770
Frank!

211
00:18:28,810 --> 00:18:30,530
Betty!

212
00:18:31,450 --> 00:18:33,610
Get down. Get fucking down.

213
00:18:36,930 --> 00:18:39,170
You black bastard!
Where do you think you're...

214
00:18:39,290 --> 00:18:41,050
Kenny!

215
00:19:22,490 --> 00:19:25,010
If Scotland Yard can't accept
responsibility

216
00:19:25,090 --> 00:19:26,610
for the raid on my restaurant,

217
00:19:26,690 --> 00:19:29,090
then I have to make a report
of an illegal entry

218
00:19:29,170 --> 00:19:30,970
on Friday evening of last week.

219
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:32,330
What happened?

220
00:19:32,410 --> 00:19:35,930
Notting Dale CID carried out the
raid, and you can't tell me why?

221
00:19:36,730 --> 00:19:40,170
It take you three days to find out
who and now you can't say why!

222
00:19:42,650 --> 00:19:44,130
The Dangerous Drug Act?!

223
00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:47,530
What does that have to do
with a legitimate restaurant, man?

224
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:49,970
Chuts, it's stupidness!

225
00:19:50,370 --> 00:19:53,250
They're outside right now you
know, Frank. Two of them.

226
00:19:53,530 --> 00:19:55,170
Shit!

227
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:59,050
I said no trouble inside this place.
No trouble, it's a restaurant.

228
00:19:59,810 --> 00:20:01,410
- You want to eat? You come here to eat?
- Hold on!

229
00:20:01,490 --> 00:20:04,970
I come here to offer my support
and the support of the Black Panthers.

230
00:20:05,290 --> 00:20:07,370
But, yes, I want to eat, thank you.

231
00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:10,850
- I'm sorry. It's a stress.
- Nothing to say sorry for.

232
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:14,810
Just as long as you ain't run out
of crab and callallo?

233
00:20:15,930 --> 00:20:20,250
- So, what are you writing?
- Pamphlet. Black Dimension.

234
00:20:21,330 --> 00:20:24,610
It's going to focus on the community
and the Police State in West London.

235
00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:26,730
Especially that brute, Pulley.

236
00:20:27,010 --> 00:20:29,450
I like the sound of that. Hold on.

237
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:33,730
The Black Panthers can
do a press release.

238
00:20:33,810 --> 00:20:35,930
I don't want the Mangrove
to have a reputation

239
00:20:36,010 --> 00:20:38,170
for what the police do and done.

240
00:20:38,570 --> 00:20:40,570
I lived all that bother at the Rio.

241
00:20:40,810 --> 00:20:43,410
This is a restaurant,
a respectable restaurant,

242
00:20:43,730 --> 00:20:45,530
and I want to keep it that way.

243
00:20:46,690 --> 00:20:49,130
That's not to say I ain't grateful
for all your offering of support,

244
00:20:49,210 --> 00:20:51,490
but I can't make no complaint,
yah know?

245
00:20:51,570 --> 00:20:53,650
It's a restaurant,
not a battleground...

246
00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:56,410
I hear you.

247
00:20:57,970 --> 00:20:59,730
- Food is good.
- Yah?

248
00:21:02,810 --> 00:21:05,290
You know, in the Ifa tradition
of the Yoruba,

249
00:21:06,090 --> 00:21:09,530
Ogun is the energy whose
machete is used to clear the path.

250
00:21:10,050 --> 00:21:13,730
Ogun is the energy of iron and
Ogun is the energy of the steel pan.

251
00:21:15,370 --> 00:21:17,570
Why you mention Ogun?
Why you say that?

252
00:21:18,770 --> 00:21:23,530
Dunno. Perhaps I feeling
a little of that energy.

253
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:28,130
- You pan?
- Once or twice, a long time ago.

254
00:21:28,810 --> 00:21:30,970
Okay. Well, let we agree.

255
00:21:32,170 --> 00:21:34,610
You can have your Panther meetings
upstairs as long as you agree

256
00:21:34,690 --> 00:21:37,170
to play in the Mangrove
steel band this carnival.

257
00:21:37,250 --> 00:21:41,130
Oh, gosh! As long as you can't change
your mind when you listen me try?

258
00:21:41,490 --> 00:21:43,490
- No, no. You want pan?
- I want pan.

259
00:21:43,570 --> 00:21:45,050
- You want pan now?
- No, no.

260
00:21:45,170 --> 00:21:46,890
- Look! Yeah!
- No, settle yourself.

261
00:21:46,970 --> 00:21:49,810
- We made an agreement.
- We have everything you need.

262
00:24:05,290 --> 00:24:09,930
Gentlemen,
some lead for your pencil.

263
00:24:13,690 --> 00:24:15,530
- Royce.
- Cheers, gov.

264
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:19,650
- Not married, are you?
- No.

265
00:24:20,610 --> 00:24:23,930
- Got a girlfriend?
- No. I'd like one though.

266
00:24:24,610 --> 00:24:27,130
- Well, we better find you one.
- That would be nice.

267
00:24:27,210 --> 00:24:30,090
Well, I hope you settle in. You're in
a foreign country now, aren't you?

268
00:24:30,930 --> 00:24:33,610
- What do you mean?
- We all look after each other here.

269
00:24:39,090 --> 00:24:40,770
- What?
- Quick game.

270
00:24:40,890 --> 00:24:43,050
- What have I done?
- Ace of Spades. You know the rules.

271
00:24:43,130 --> 00:24:44,410
What rules?

272
00:24:44,490 --> 00:24:46,810
No one told him?
Well, that's not very fair, gents.

273
00:24:46,890 --> 00:24:48,370
Rules are rules.

274
00:24:48,450 --> 00:24:50,330
Whoever draws the ace of spades has
to go out

275
00:24:50,410 --> 00:24:52,370
and nick the first black
bastard they clap eyes on.

276
00:24:52,450 --> 00:24:54,450
- Nick him for what?
- You'll learn.

277
00:25:28,770 --> 00:25:31,130
- This is urgent. What's your name?
- Who are you, more like?

278
00:25:31,210 --> 00:25:33,770
I am Frank Crichlow,
and this is Mrs Manning.

279
00:25:33,850 --> 00:25:36,330
She son, Kendrick Manning, is missing,
and we have reason to believe...

280
00:25:36,410 --> 00:25:38,210
- How long has he been missing?
- Well, he disappeared from...

281
00:25:38,290 --> 00:25:40,330
I didn't ask you. Did I?
How long?

282
00:25:40,490 --> 00:25:43,410
Kenny's supposed to reach home
at nine. Nine o'clock.

283
00:25:45,410 --> 00:25:48,970
Six hours? Nah, that don't
make a missing person.

284
00:25:49,970 --> 00:25:51,730
- I know something happened to my boy.
- How?

285
00:25:51,810 --> 00:25:53,330
Hey, let me tell you something.

286
00:25:53,410 --> 00:25:55,650
Kendrick Manning vanished
on Tavistock Gardens

287
00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:58,170
leaving his family's food
shopping on the street.

288
00:25:58,250 --> 00:26:00,770
- I can repeat it for you?
- Alright, alright. Take a seat.

289
00:26:00,850 --> 00:26:02,170
No. I insist on seeing him...

290
00:26:02,290 --> 00:26:05,010
You having trouble understanding?
Take a seat I said!

291
00:26:05,490 --> 00:26:07,810
- Frank! Calm down, calm down.
- Calm down.

292
00:26:07,890 --> 00:26:10,930
Come, let we sit down, let we sit down.
We're right here.

293
00:26:11,010 --> 00:26:13,050
- Come, let we sit down.
- That's it.

294
00:26:19,730 --> 00:26:21,970
Davis, do we have any visitors?

295
00:26:25,930 --> 00:26:27,570
Yeah, perfect timing...

296
00:26:35,730 --> 00:26:37,690
Looks like he had a fall...

297
00:26:43,490 --> 00:26:46,210
Calm her down. Out.

298
00:26:49,650 --> 00:26:51,290
Calm down, madam.

299
00:26:52,770 --> 00:26:54,890
You need to calm down.

300
00:26:58,930 --> 00:27:01,050
You need to calm down.

301
00:27:01,850 --> 00:27:03,610
See you, you devil!

302
00:27:04,770 --> 00:27:06,170
Hey, Frank, let it go.

303
00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:08,970
Go back to wherever
you come from.

304
00:27:15,010 --> 00:27:16,250
How's your tea?

305
00:27:31,210 --> 00:27:33,450
How many you thinking about
doing this time?

306
00:27:33,530 --> 00:27:35,450
I'm going for a bigger run.

307
00:27:43,770 --> 00:27:46,130
- You can read, can't you?
- Get out of my house!

308
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:48,010
Shut up, you whore!

309
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:50,330
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.

310
00:27:55,250 --> 00:27:58,330
- You'll regret this.
- You're the one who's gonna regret it.

311
00:27:58,450 --> 00:28:00,250
Get out. Get out.

312
00:28:00,570 --> 00:28:03,290
- Smash that for us.
- Get out of my house!

313
00:28:05,370 --> 00:28:07,210
Get out.

314
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:08,850
Get out.

315
00:28:13,410 --> 00:28:15,050
Police!

316
00:28:20,730 --> 00:28:22,410
- Stay down.
- I haven't done nothing.

317
00:28:22,490 --> 00:28:24,250
Kendrick! Don't resist.

318
00:28:24,450 --> 00:28:27,010
Shut it you fucking black bastard.
Shut it!

319
00:29:21,250 --> 00:29:23,410
Who want to play me
for the Mangrove?

320
00:29:28,530 --> 00:29:29,850
You're joking or what?

321
00:29:30,090 --> 00:29:33,770
No, I serious. Number Eight All
Saints Road. What you saying?

322
00:29:35,210 --> 00:29:37,690
Look, nobody is gonna take that.

323
00:29:37,770 --> 00:29:39,650
Alright, it's my business.

324
00:29:40,610 --> 00:29:43,290
Come on.
What I can't give it away?

325
00:29:43,730 --> 00:29:46,050
Mangrove man. Him listen?

326
00:29:47,050 --> 00:29:49,770

00:29:59,890 --> 00:30:01,370
Dat ah truth.

Go on, man.

Play the cards.

332
00:30:21,250 --> 00:30:23,010
Pulley will sue me for criminal libel

333
00:30:23,090 --> 00:30:25,210
as long as my black skin
is in Notting Hill.

334
00:30:25,330 --> 00:30:28,090
I actively encourage you to go
and live in the North of England.

335
00:30:28,210 --> 00:30:30,010
- In East Lancashire.
- Yeah, that could work.

336
00:30:30,090 --> 00:30:31,970
I could come and visit you all
the time, maybe...

337
00:30:32,050 --> 00:30:35,410
Pulley will still be able to sue my
black backside in East Lancashire.

338
00:30:38,770 --> 00:30:43,090
Tunapuna. Trinidad.
I will go home...

339
00:30:43,410 --> 00:30:46,490
You can't do that, Darcus, because
I'll never get to see you, will I?

340
00:30:46,570 --> 00:30:49,490
At this moment in history you
could inspire a revolution.

341
00:30:49,570 --> 00:30:53,490
Yeah, and how we gonna afford
to do that, then? You selfish git.

342
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:01,090
Excuse me, sorry.

343
00:31:03,010 --> 00:31:05,490
- Just let me get set up, Frank.
- I will send them up in a minute.

344
00:31:08,170 --> 00:31:10,610
Right, listen up, boys.
This is Mr Stedman.

345
00:31:11,530 --> 00:31:14,130
I brought him down
here to help with the police.

346
00:31:14,210 --> 00:31:17,370
So, listen, and listen carefully.

347
00:31:19,370 --> 00:31:20,770
Go ahead, Mr Stedman.

348
00:31:23,850 --> 00:31:26,290
Now, if you get stopped
and searched...

349
00:31:26,530 --> 00:31:27,930
You mean when.

350
00:31:28,330 --> 00:31:32,330
Yes. I mean, as a citizen of this
country you are legally intitled

351
00:31:32,410 --> 00:31:35,370
to insist on having a lawyer present
before you say anything.

352
00:31:35,450 --> 00:31:37,290
But how is we supposed
to say something,

353
00:31:37,410 --> 00:31:39,650
if you is saying we ain't
supposed to say anything.

354
00:31:39,730 --> 00:31:43,010
You're supposed to say something,
fool, you just don't say nothing.

355
00:31:43,090 --> 00:31:45,490
I can see I haven't explained
it too well.

356
00:31:45,610 --> 00:31:49,170
I advise you to say nothing other than
to remind them you that have the right

357
00:31:49,250 --> 00:31:53,810
to remain silent and require a lawyer
present before you say anything else.

358
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:56,850
- So we is supposed to say something.
- Yes, look, the system is...

359
00:31:56,930 --> 00:32:00,690
The system? The system crooked as
a damn ram's horn, that's what it is...

360
00:32:10,650 --> 00:32:14,090
We were waltzing together

361
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:18,410
To a sweet, sweet melody

362
00:32:18,810 --> 00:32:23,090
When they called out, 'change partners'

363
00:32:23,410 --> 00:32:26,530
And you waltzed away from me

364
00:32:33,730 --> 00:32:35,130
Open the door.

365
00:32:35,770 --> 00:32:37,090
Tell them we're closed.

366
00:32:37,210 --> 00:32:38,570
We're closed!

367
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,090
Police! Open the door!

368
00:32:43,690 --> 00:32:45,250
What you doing?

369
00:32:45,730 --> 00:32:47,530
Don't touch me!

370
00:32:50,810 --> 00:32:52,090
Betty!

371
00:32:52,170 --> 00:32:54,610
Get your hands off me.
Betty! Betty!

372
00:32:56,890 --> 00:32:59,770
- Warrant.
- I don't care for no blasted warrant.

373
00:33:00,170 --> 00:33:02,410
What in God's name is
going on in here?

374
00:33:02,930 --> 00:33:05,770
You serving drinks without
a license? At this hour?

375
00:33:06,450 --> 00:33:09,730
Tea. We're drinking blasted tea.

376
00:33:10,170 --> 00:33:13,530
You're breaking the law of this
country, that's what's happening.

377
00:33:14,610 --> 00:33:16,050
Who d'you think you are?

378
00:33:16,890 --> 00:33:20,610
Opening up a restaurant, thinking
your some sort of... chief.

379
00:33:21,370 --> 00:33:25,730
I opened this place for people to come
and go no matter who they are.

380
00:33:25,810 --> 00:33:27,690
And that's all well and good.

381
00:33:28,450 --> 00:33:32,250
But the problem is your menu.
Certain things have to be added

382
00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:35,330
in order for you to continue
with your establishment.

383
00:33:35,410 --> 00:33:38,290
We only serve spicy cuisine here!

384
00:33:39,090 --> 00:33:42,650
You see, you people
don't really understand, do you?

385
00:33:43,450 --> 00:33:46,770
You come over here with your bright
clothes, you sleep with our women,

386
00:33:46,850 --> 00:33:48,930
make like you're a big shot.

387
00:33:49,770 --> 00:33:53,570
But guess what?
It isn't happening.

388
00:33:55,130 --> 00:33:56,690
Not on my watch.

389
00:34:00,570 --> 00:34:02,410
Pulley, stop! Pulley!

390
00:34:02,690 --> 00:34:05,530
You bastard! You devil!

391
00:34:06,690 --> 00:34:10,810
You are a devil! You are a devil!
What's wrong with you?

392
00:34:11,970 --> 00:34:13,930
You're a devil, Pulley...

393
00:34:15,130 --> 00:34:16,450
Shall we go and play some music?

394
00:34:32,210 --> 00:34:33,650
Crichlow?

395
00:34:35,890 --> 00:34:39,490
Which leaves me to ask the question,
was the Mangrove used as a night caf�?

396
00:34:39,890 --> 00:34:42,650
I find that it was.
I do not feel it's necessary for it

397
00:34:42,770 --> 00:34:45,370
to be open if customers
can knock and be let in...

398
00:34:46,010 --> 00:34:49,090
It's also not necessary to prove that
money has changed hands.

399
00:34:49,530 --> 00:34:50,930
The defendant is fined L25

400
00:34:51,010 --> 00:34:54,130
and must pay for the legal costs of all
those involved. Next.

401
00:34:58,410 --> 00:35:00,930
I want a transcript
of what the judge just said.

402
00:35:28,890 --> 00:35:31,610
Biting your finger nail.
What you thinking?

403
00:35:32,770 --> 00:35:34,210
Nothing, Tanty.

404
00:35:34,890 --> 00:35:37,090
Crapaud smoke yuh pipe.
Why you lying?

405
00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:39,370
Don't play with me, child.

406
00:35:40,490 --> 00:35:42,130
Me head hot.

407
00:35:42,970 --> 00:35:45,650
Seems like we reaching the end
of the road, yah know...

408
00:35:47,050 --> 00:35:49,890
One raid lead to another raid lead
to another raid,

409
00:35:50,010 --> 00:35:52,730
then they use that as an excuse to give
me a different type of licks.

410
00:35:53,850 --> 00:35:56,090
They taking away
the alcohol license now...

411
00:35:57,050 --> 00:36:00,370
The police in cahoots with the council,
the council with the damn judge,

412
00:36:00,450 --> 00:36:01,770
the judge with the police...

413
00:36:01,850 --> 00:36:04,170
And the customers not
stepping foot in here.

414
00:36:04,290 --> 00:36:06,970
Too frighten.
They ain't coming day or night.

415
00:36:08,770 --> 00:36:11,330
Why the police harassing us
in this place, eh?

416
00:36:13,130 --> 00:36:14,730
The business buss.

417
00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:17,490
Well, you don't put water in your
mouth to spell it out, eh.

418
00:36:17,570 --> 00:36:19,370
Me don't have
nobody to cook for!

419
00:36:19,450 --> 00:36:21,610
The place is like a jumbie ballroom!

420
00:36:23,050 --> 00:36:24,890
I ain't know why I boddering.

421
00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:32,770
Frank? Frank?

422
00:36:46,210 --> 00:36:47,610
Oh, Miss Tetley.

423
00:36:48,090 --> 00:36:51,170
Dorothy, if you come with your belly
hungry, you're in luck.

424
00:36:51,250 --> 00:36:53,410
Betty in need of a mouth to feed.

425
00:36:53,730 --> 00:36:55,170
I come for give you this.

426
00:36:56,290 --> 00:37:00,210
Every Sunday since me come ah England,
me ah save ah likkle ting.

427
00:37:00,770 --> 00:37:02,730
Thinking about going back Jamaica,
one time.

428
00:37:02,810 --> 00:37:03,930
I can't do that...

429
00:37:04,010 --> 00:37:08,090
The Mangrove is part of this story
and me need to say this.

430
00:37:10,250 --> 00:37:15,490
This ah the place what makes me know
this really my home from home now.

431
00:37:17,050 --> 00:37:21,330
And everybody in the community say
that them need this place, too.

432
00:37:23,170 --> 00:37:25,250
So this, for you.

433
00:37:27,570 --> 00:37:29,850
If me stay, me a gwan cry.

434
00:37:30,690 --> 00:37:33,930
Just know, Frank,
this make me happy.

435
00:37:43,570 --> 00:37:45,570
Probably nothing but a shilling.

436
00:37:52,090 --> 00:37:55,530
Elizabeth Crichlow! Get your dirty
fingers off that thing there.

437
00:38:00,610 --> 00:38:03,050
And you sit there with
your face screw-up.

438
00:38:08,130 --> 00:38:09,490
Dolston?

439
00:38:10,010 --> 00:38:11,610
What?

440
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:14,170
We closing down the restaurant...

441
00:38:14,770 --> 00:38:20,130
Yeah, boy. But we keeping the Mangrove
open. Twenty four hours a day open.

442
00:38:20,850 --> 00:38:22,490
Yeah, you hear me correct?

443
00:38:22,610 --> 00:38:26,730
I want poker games. Dice. As many
tables as the police ain't broke.

444
00:38:26,890 --> 00:38:29,770
But we keeping this place open
by the hook or by the crook.

445
00:38:30,130 --> 00:38:33,010
You gone cuckoo?
Close down the kitchen and what?

446
00:38:34,770 --> 00:38:37,730
You can still use your long broom
to sweep up in the corner.

447
00:38:55,130 --> 00:38:56,570
Yes, what you want, boy?

448
00:38:56,650 --> 00:38:58,930
Wanna seat at the big
table downstairs.

449
00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:03,450
Listen, we don't have no drugs
in here, you understand?

450
00:39:03,530 --> 00:39:05,930
You think me stupid enough
to bring drugs in here

451
00:39:06,010 --> 00:39:08,250
when them raid four times
in the last six weeks?

452
00:39:08,330 --> 00:39:11,650
- Nine times.
- See? What cat can handle that?

453
00:39:13,450 --> 00:39:16,050
Look, that's a man's nine lives
right there, Frank.

454
00:39:35,330 --> 00:39:36,890
Come again.

455
00:39:37,970 --> 00:39:39,810
Fucking business, no!

456
00:39:52,530 --> 00:39:55,490
What in hell... this boy.
Stop, stop. Pull over, pull over.

457
00:39:57,730 --> 00:39:59,450
Hold up. Pull up, pull over.

458
00:40:09,890 --> 00:40:11,410
Leave the boy alone, man.

459
00:40:12,290 --> 00:40:13,970
You alright, Benson? Yeah?

460
00:40:14,330 --> 00:40:18,170
Marsha. Go up to the Mangrove
and get Mr Stedman, okay? Go. Go!

461
00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:21,850
- Why you stop the boy?
- Are you interfering with police?

462
00:40:22,010 --> 00:40:24,530
Yes! Why you stopping the boy?

463
00:40:24,690 --> 00:40:27,810
- He matches the description.
- Description? What description?

464
00:40:27,890 --> 00:40:31,410
Pulley. There's a robbery in progress.
We've gotta go. Sir.

465
00:40:33,410 --> 00:40:35,010
Just your luck.

466
00:40:38,810 --> 00:40:42,130
- Go and get your r'aas out.
- Shut up, you twat!

467
00:40:43,610 --> 00:40:45,770
Why'd he stop you?

468
00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:48,410
- No reason.
- No reason?

469
00:40:52,490 --> 00:40:54,210
Come, we go. Come. Come.

470
00:40:59,890 --> 00:41:04,890
Trinidad has been remade, Frank.
I saw it. I heard it.

471
00:41:06,610 --> 00:41:10,770
The revolution has changed the
very rhythm of the people's speech.

472
00:41:10,930 --> 00:41:13,570
They, they talking with greater
deliberation,

473
00:41:13,690 --> 00:41:16,050
they pausing before
speaking and such.

474
00:41:17,610 --> 00:41:21,370
It's as if it has provoked an
unconscious social patience that...

475
00:41:21,450 --> 00:41:23,370
it was truly something to behold.

476
00:41:29,610 --> 00:41:31,050
Yeah.

477
00:41:33,690 --> 00:41:37,250
Yeah. It is a complete harassment
on this restaurant.

478
00:41:38,730 --> 00:41:42,850
A complete harassment
on a Black business.

479
00:41:43,010 --> 00:41:46,930
They're trying to destroy it. And all
the people they're afraid to come.

480
00:41:47,650 --> 00:41:51,570
We've made complaints. We've
made complaints to the Home Office.

481
00:41:51,850 --> 00:41:55,410
To my embassy. And now to you,
my local Member of Parliament...

482
00:41:57,810 --> 00:42:03,690
Because the bodderation continue
and continue and I know it is

483
00:42:03,770 --> 00:42:06,250
because I am a Black citizen
of this country

484
00:42:06,370 --> 00:42:09,050
which is why I am being
discriminated against...

485
00:42:10,530 --> 00:42:13,530
Pr-proof? What more proof you need,
man? Chuts, man.

486
00:42:25,690 --> 00:42:28,130
All development come
from self-movement.

487
00:42:28,970 --> 00:42:32,130
Not because of external forces
acting on the organism.

488
00:42:34,210 --> 00:42:35,650
What shit you talking?

489
00:42:36,850 --> 00:42:41,050
Your strategy of relying on the white
establishment will never work, Frank.

490
00:42:41,610 --> 00:42:43,610
Not... Darco, not now.

491
00:42:44,250 --> 00:42:49,770
I see a man before me, right, a man
of, of great patience and humility

492
00:42:49,890 --> 00:42:53,450
who, unbeknownst to him,
has become a leader of his people.

493
00:42:54,570 --> 00:42:56,090
CLR James have it written.

494
00:42:56,210 --> 00:42:58,050
'These are new men.'

495
00:42:58,450 --> 00:43:02,690
He say, 'new types of human beings,
because these men have perspective.

496
00:43:02,770 --> 00:43:06,570
They are leaders, but leaders who are
rooted deep among those they lead.'

497
00:43:06,650 --> 00:43:08,290
Now, he speaks of you, Frank.

498
00:43:09,490 --> 00:43:11,170
He does too...

499
00:43:11,890 --> 00:43:15,850
But I see this leader suffering
the consequences

500
00:43:16,010 --> 00:43:20,250
of a state-sponsored attempt
to close down his business.

501
00:43:22,130 --> 00:43:27,050
My brother, this government will never
take up its responsibility

502
00:43:27,170 --> 00:43:29,730
to you and this community,

503
00:43:29,810 --> 00:43:32,970
not unless it sees
people on the street.

504
00:43:34,930 --> 00:43:37,010
Let us organise a demonstration...

505
00:43:37,330 --> 00:43:40,650
We're not in Trinidad now, boy.
This is Notting Hill.

506
00:43:40,770 --> 00:43:45,730
This is Notting Hill. This place,
the Mangrove, it is Notting Hill.

507
00:43:46,690 --> 00:43:50,170
Whether you can recognise so or not.
This is the front line.

508
00:43:50,890 --> 00:43:53,210
The Mangrove...
the, this, this, is community,

509
00:43:53,330 --> 00:43:55,890
the black community
is your community.

510
00:43:56,210 --> 00:43:58,690
The Black community who rely
on the Mangrove

511
00:43:58,770 --> 00:44:01,050
just as much as you rely on them...

512
00:44:02,250 --> 00:44:05,930
Take it to the street.
Take it to the street, Frank...

513
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:10,810
They'd just use it as an excuse
to take down the whole dam thing.

514
00:44:10,930 --> 00:44:13,130
That is the truth.
If we hold a demonstration,

515
00:44:13,210 --> 00:44:16,610
right, you stand to lose the restaurant
you have spent your life building.

516
00:44:16,690 --> 00:44:19,850
They might use it to shut down
the Mangrove permanently.

517
00:44:20,890 --> 00:44:24,650
But a demonstration
is the right thing to do.

518
00:44:27,730 --> 00:44:30,010
Self-movement...

519
00:44:39,050 --> 00:44:40,610
Yeah, we march.

520
00:44:44,570 --> 00:44:46,290
Who dat? Who dat?

521
00:44:48,370 --> 00:44:49,810
Watch it, man.

522
00:44:58,490 --> 00:45:00,450
- Hi.
- So, what you have in that bag?

523
00:45:00,530 --> 00:45:03,690
Just been at the butchers.
It's a surprise.

524
00:45:04,530 --> 00:45:07,850
HANDS OFF MANGROVE

525
00:45:08,650 --> 00:45:10,810
Hands off the Mangrove!

526
00:45:12,290 --> 00:45:15,250
'The pigs, the pigs.
We gotta get rid of the pigs.

527
00:45:15,490 --> 00:45:18,170
The pigs, the pigs.
We gotta get rid of the pigs'

528
00:45:31,050 --> 00:45:34,850
What our Mother country seeks to do is
not just to close down a restaurant,

529
00:45:35,890 --> 00:45:38,090
but to close down
what they see as a space

530
00:45:38,210 --> 00:45:41,290
where Black people
can put up some kind of resistance

531
00:45:41,570 --> 00:45:43,930
to day-to-day harassments
by the police.

532
00:45:44,770 --> 00:45:47,650
And I believe the Mangrove
not only serves as a negative

533
00:45:48,090 --> 00:45:50,410
in putting up that space
for black people.

534
00:45:50,690 --> 00:45:53,250
But I believe it serves
as a positive purpose

535
00:45:53,690 --> 00:45:56,890
in that people in the community
have a place to call our own,

536
00:45:57,770 --> 00:46:01,530
and we as Black people have lacked
that since we were invited here.

537
00:46:02,530 --> 00:46:04,810
So this attack
on a Black establishment

538
00:46:05,290 --> 00:46:07,970
and our right to gather
is not an isolated event.

539
00:46:08,570 --> 00:46:13,930
But a sustained campaign against
Black people by the British State,

540
00:46:14,170 --> 00:46:17,130
and today we are saying
enough is enough!

541
00:46:22,210 --> 00:46:23,810
Black power! Black power!

542
00:46:24,090 --> 00:46:26,810
Black power! Black power!

543
00:46:28,850 --> 00:46:31,570
So let we go and march,
and let we march peacefully.

544
00:46:34,890 --> 00:46:36,450
Brothers and sisters.

545
00:46:37,010 --> 00:46:38,650
It has been for some time now

546
00:46:39,370 --> 00:46:44,490
that Black people have been caught up
in complaining to police about police.

547
00:46:44,890 --> 00:46:46,210
That's right.

548
00:46:46,370 --> 00:46:49,210
Complaining to magistrates
about magistrates.

549
00:46:50,530 --> 00:46:53,330
Complaining to judges about judges.

550
00:46:55,130 --> 00:46:58,010
We must become the shepherds
of our own destiny.

551
00:47:00,010 --> 00:47:03,370
What our objective is today,
what it's going to continue to be,

552
00:47:03,930 --> 00:47:06,370
is a concerted, determined attempt

553
00:47:07,250 --> 00:47:09,850
to prevent any infringement
on our rights.

554
00:47:12,810 --> 00:47:17,210
- Hands off.
- Black people!

555
00:48:25,730 --> 00:48:29,210
Where is Pulley?

556
00:48:30,050 --> 00:48:33,490
Where is Pulley?

557
00:48:52,210 --> 00:48:55,010
Wait, wait, wait.
What's going on?

558
00:48:56,290 --> 00:48:58,810
Shut your mouth, you fucking...

559
00:49:18,410 --> 00:49:19,930
Get in there, lads.

560
00:49:20,370 --> 00:49:22,170
Black Power!

561
00:49:22,330 --> 00:49:25,170
People Power!

562
00:50:00,130 --> 00:50:01,370
What?

563
00:50:03,690 --> 00:50:05,290
Get back. Get back.

564
00:50:05,890 --> 00:50:07,530
Let's go. Go!

565
00:50:09,410 --> 00:50:10,930
Black Power!

566
00:50:12,930 --> 00:50:15,330
- What the hell's going on?
- Hold on!

567
00:50:16,370 --> 00:50:18,610
Black Power! Black Power!

568
00:50:21,490 --> 00:50:22,890
I told you.

569
00:50:24,170 --> 00:50:26,170
- Get back. Back off.
- Don't touch me.

570
00:50:26,250 --> 00:50:28,250
Bloody savages.

571
00:50:39,130 --> 00:50:41,090
Black Power!
Black Power! Black...

572
00:50:41,250 --> 00:50:43,170
Take your fucking sign and fuck off...

573
00:50:43,490 --> 00:50:45,410
What the fuck are you doing?

574
00:50:46,450 --> 00:50:48,010
Barbara! Barbara!

575
00:50:49,570 --> 00:50:52,090
Take your fucking hands off her.
Barbara! Barbara!

576
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:54,690
Get off me.
Get your fucking hands off me!

577
00:50:58,530 --> 00:51:00,690
Why are you doing that? Eh?
Are you mad?

578
00:51:04,090 --> 00:51:07,330
Get off me. Get off me.
Hey. Eddie!

579
00:51:07,610 --> 00:51:09,290
- Altheia!
- Eddie!

580
00:51:10,530 --> 00:51:13,170
Take your fucking hands off her...
Take your hands off her.

581
00:51:27,330 --> 00:51:28,570
Come on, boys!

582
00:51:28,930 --> 00:51:30,290
In you come.

583
00:51:33,370 --> 00:51:34,810
Alright, boys.

584
00:51:35,650 --> 00:51:38,450
Out the fucking lot of you
black bastards. Come on.

585
00:51:38,530 --> 00:51:41,050
Alright, Frank. It's Frank.
You're nicked.

586
00:51:42,210 --> 00:51:44,930
- Why're you doing this, man?
- You not happy to see me?

587
00:51:45,010 --> 00:51:47,130
Man, leave us alone,
we've done nothing wrong, man.

588
00:51:59,690 --> 00:52:01,050
Ian.

589
00:52:03,130 --> 00:52:05,410
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, I've had
to bring him with me in the end.

590
00:52:05,490 --> 00:52:07,810
Don't worry about it.
No, no, it's no trouble, not at all.

591
00:52:07,930 --> 00:52:09,050
Hello!

592
00:52:09,130 --> 00:52:12,370
So... I thought the Old Bailey
was for proper criminals.

593
00:52:12,530 --> 00:52:15,410
You know, like bank robbers,
murderers and that.

594
00:52:16,170 --> 00:52:17,930
It's only a courtroom if you think
about it. Nothing more.

595
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:19,970
Yeah, but we were already
found innocent.

596
00:52:20,050 --> 00:52:23,210
The last magistrate threw the charges
straight out of court. And now this.

597
00:52:23,290 --> 00:52:26,570
It's been nearly a year and we're
already back to where we started,

598
00:52:26,730 --> 00:52:29,850
only this time at the Old Bailey.
I mean, what's it all about, Ian?

599
00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:31,930
Well, you're on the front line
of change, Barbara.

600
00:52:32,050 --> 00:52:33,850
So they want to try to make
an example out of you.

601
00:52:33,930 --> 00:52:35,650
But they can't do that, can they?

602
00:52:37,770 --> 00:52:39,890
I don't even
understand who's doing this.

603
00:52:39,970 --> 00:52:42,290
So, the Director of Public Prosecutions
has introduced

604
00:52:42,370 --> 00:52:45,930
a new charge of riot and affray.
It's a very serious charge indeed,

605
00:52:46,010 --> 00:52:49,450
and I'm afraid they're not obliged
to explain themselves to anyone.

606
00:52:49,530 --> 00:52:53,010
But, with your permission, I intend
to make it much more unpleasant

607
00:52:53,090 --> 00:52:54,930
for them than it has
to be for you.

608
00:52:55,730 --> 00:52:59,770
No, I'm not interested
in playing silly games.

609
00:53:02,130 --> 00:53:04,170
I've got this one to worry about now.

610
00:53:04,810 --> 00:53:07,930
I can't have him ending up like me.
I won't.

611
00:53:09,530 --> 00:53:13,930
If the two of us get sent away... It
just makes me sick to think about it.

612
00:53:14,250 --> 00:53:15,650
I know.

613
00:53:19,770 --> 00:53:21,410
I thought you were retired anyway?

614
00:53:21,490 --> 00:53:25,650
No. I was never retired, honestly.
And plus, the revolution's coming,

615
00:53:25,730 --> 00:53:27,970
so I certainly never intended
to be practicing law when it did.

616
00:53:28,050 --> 00:53:31,250
- Yeah, well, it's a nightmare, innit?
- Well, maybe we're about to wake up.

617
00:53:31,610 --> 00:53:34,450
Wake up?
I just wanna wake up now, Ian.

618
00:53:35,090 --> 00:53:37,370
I hoped never to see us all together
in one place again.

619
00:53:37,450 --> 00:53:38,570
No offence to anybody,

620
00:53:38,650 --> 00:53:41,650
but what is with this? How could this
be allowed to happen, eh?

621
00:53:41,770 --> 00:53:43,490
Ay, relax man.
Where is the father, eh?

622
00:53:43,570 --> 00:53:45,370
Oh, don't ask me, mate.

623
00:53:45,530 --> 00:53:46,970
Sorry, I'm Ian McDonald.

624
00:53:47,090 --> 00:53:49,530
I'm representing Barbara
for those that don't know.

625
00:53:49,610 --> 00:53:52,170
I hope you don't mind
if I just jump in.

626
00:53:53,890 --> 00:53:56,170
The trial,
as I'm sure you're all aware,

627
00:53:56,330 --> 00:53:58,370
is taking place at the Old Bailey.

628
00:53:58,450 --> 00:54:01,890
Somewhere normally reserved
for only the most serious of crimes.

629
00:54:02,410 --> 00:54:04,050
Murder, terrorism and treason,

630
00:54:04,130 --> 00:54:07,010
so this is just another example
of intimidation.

631
00:54:09,090 --> 00:54:11,010
- Hello, Mr Croft!
- You look ridiculous.

632
00:54:11,090 --> 00:54:12,090
Oh, thank you.

633
00:54:12,170 --> 00:54:14,450
Early retirement's been very kind
to me. I highly recommend it.

634
00:54:14,530 --> 00:54:17,650
I'm delighted to see you here.
Makes me feel safer already.

635
00:54:17,770 --> 00:54:20,770
You don't need to worry, this is
the finest legal system in the world.

636
00:54:21,810 --> 00:54:23,970
How you can trust the system
when one judge say

637
00:54:24,050 --> 00:54:25,890
you're innocent of the riot and affray.

638
00:54:26,010 --> 00:54:28,730
Only for them to bring the charges
then back! That don't make no sense.

639
00:54:28,810 --> 00:54:30,290
Five years!

640
00:54:30,610 --> 00:54:33,690
The counsel tell me to plead guilty
and accept five years jail time.

641
00:54:33,930 --> 00:54:35,170
- What?
- For real, boy.

642
00:54:35,290 --> 00:54:37,610
So I said I'll spend five years
with your wife.

643
00:54:38,730 --> 00:54:41,130
What are you talking
about his wife for, eh?

644
00:54:41,970 --> 00:54:46,130
But concerning legal proceedings
and all that skullduggery...

645
00:54:47,650 --> 00:54:51,650
British courtroom is designed to keep
the defendant shackled to ignorance.

646
00:54:52,210 --> 00:54:56,290
I say no more. Not in my name.
I spent enough time at the bar,

647
00:54:56,410 --> 00:54:58,690
so Darcus Howe going
to represent himself.

648
00:54:58,770 --> 00:55:02,490
Which bar you been to?
The Red Lion? You wanna go ah prison?

649
00:55:03,010 --> 00:55:05,850
- I studied law, you know, Rhodan.
- This case isn't just about you.

650
00:55:06,610 --> 00:55:08,290
It's nine defendants, Darcus.

651
00:55:08,570 --> 00:55:10,770
You're making a decision
that will affect everyone.

652
00:55:10,890 --> 00:55:13,690
- Me say nuh.
- Actually, that's a brilliant idea.

653
00:55:14,890 --> 00:55:17,170
Darcus self-representing,
that's brilliant.

654
00:55:17,250 --> 00:55:21,010
It's the perfect way to challenge
the courts archaic set up,

655
00:55:21,250 --> 00:55:25,010
and really take your message inside
that building. No, it's brilliant.

656
00:55:25,570 --> 00:55:29,090
Self-representing means being able
to cross-examine witnesses.

657
00:55:29,650 --> 00:55:32,810
Think about that. Make objections
in the courtroom. But...

658
00:55:33,130 --> 00:55:37,650
Most importantly, it allows you
to speak directly to the jury

659
00:55:37,850 --> 00:55:39,530
in a manner
that I for one couldn't.

660
00:55:39,610 --> 00:55:43,090
Him talking a set of shit
to the jury is never gonna help nobody.

661
00:55:43,650 --> 00:55:47,210
I agree with Darcus.
I will also represent myself.

662
00:55:47,370 --> 00:55:49,850
- Ah ya yie! Nobody listen to me.
- I think that's a good idea.

663
00:55:49,930 --> 00:55:52,770
Oh, listen! Listen!
We need to challenge the system.

664
00:55:53,050 --> 00:55:55,370
Is a system where the judge
wearing a dress,

665
00:55:55,530 --> 00:55:58,490
the lawyer all put on a dress
and they all wearing a wig.

666
00:55:59,050 --> 00:56:01,450
But the men are all just
himself to himself.

667
00:56:01,970 --> 00:56:04,210
They speak only
himself to himself.

668
00:56:05,410 --> 00:56:08,530
We mustn't be victims but protagonists
of our stories.

669
00:56:08,610 --> 00:56:11,130
And what better way
of representing ourselves,

670
00:56:11,250 --> 00:56:13,770
than self-representing ourselves.
He's right!

671
00:56:13,850 --> 00:56:16,290
Hold on, hold on.
Everybody turn crazy or something?

672
00:56:16,370 --> 00:56:18,170
It's not a game
we're playing here now.

673
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:21,290
This is our lives.
We are facing ten years in prison.

674
00:56:22,330 --> 00:56:24,450
The legal system is designed
for experts.

675
00:56:24,530 --> 00:56:27,090
You're harming yourselves
by pursuing this course.

676
00:56:27,170 --> 00:56:29,730
You'll have to learn how to cross
examine witnesses.

677
00:56:29,810 --> 00:56:31,810
It's going to be a lot
of extra work for you.

678
00:56:31,890 --> 00:56:33,930
Doesn't matter,
we can all work together.

679
00:56:34,010 --> 00:56:37,250
Listen, all of you heading
to the jail-house. Not me, no sir.

680
00:56:37,370 --> 00:56:39,970
I agree with Mr Gordon.
This is a grave mistake.

681
00:56:40,050 --> 00:56:41,810
I wish you luck
Mrs Jones-Le Cointe.

682
00:56:41,930 --> 00:56:45,370
No, no, no. We don't need
luck, mister. We need justice.

683
00:56:45,930 --> 00:56:48,770
We need more than that.
We need more than that for true.

684
00:56:48,890 --> 00:56:50,610
Oh God, man.

685
00:56:52,290 --> 00:56:53,690
Yes, man.

686
00:57:40,290 --> 00:57:41,850
Over here. Name?

687
00:57:42,130 --> 00:57:43,970
Mr Darcus Howe, acting counsel.

688
00:57:44,530 --> 00:57:46,290
Says you're in the dock down here.
Up arms.

689
00:57:46,410 --> 00:57:48,210
If you were to make
a more thorough investigation,

690
00:57:48,290 --> 00:57:50,650
you'll find that I am in fact,
acting counsel.

691
00:57:50,850 --> 00:57:52,690
- I should be treated as such.
- Up!

692
00:57:52,810 --> 00:57:54,650
Sorry, is there...
Is there an issue here?

693
00:57:54,770 --> 00:57:57,090
I can confirm that Mr Howe
is acting counsel.

694
00:57:57,810 --> 00:58:00,810
Self-representing, are we?
First time for everything.

695
00:58:01,730 --> 00:58:04,330
So you'll be wanting to search
me too then, yes?

696
00:58:04,770 --> 00:58:06,690
No, sir.
That won't be necessary.

697
00:58:06,850 --> 00:58:09,090
Right. Thank you, Darcus.
This way.

698
00:58:09,770 --> 00:58:11,370
- Self-representing?
- No.

699
00:58:11,450 --> 00:58:12,690
Let's have the bag.

700
00:58:14,050 --> 00:58:18,970
Up arms. Round you go.
Thank you.

701
00:58:19,850 --> 00:58:22,290
- Name?
- Altheia Jones. Self-representing.

702
00:58:22,530 --> 00:58:24,930
Mangrove nine are innocent!
The police should be on trial!

703
00:58:25,050 --> 00:58:28,130
The Mangrove nine are innocent!
The police should be on trial!

704
00:58:28,250 --> 00:58:29,570
The Mangrove nine are innocent!

705
00:58:44,250 --> 00:58:45,410
Clerk of the court.

706
00:58:46,490 --> 00:58:49,410
Mr Mendel, please ensure
that none of the protesters

707
00:58:49,570 --> 00:58:51,330
are admitted this morning.

708
00:58:52,370 --> 00:58:54,250
I don't care if they have tickets.

709
00:59:09,290 --> 00:59:10,970
Okay. Everyone, everyone.

710
00:59:12,850 --> 00:59:14,210
Now, as you all know,

711
00:59:14,930 --> 00:59:18,690
Altheia and Darcus will be representing
themselves in court today.

712
00:59:18,890 --> 00:59:22,010
Meaning that they will be
able to cross examine witnesses,

713
00:59:22,170 --> 00:59:24,450
make submissions to the judge
and so on.

714
00:59:24,650 --> 00:59:27,290
My role, as well
as defending Barbara,

715
00:59:27,490 --> 00:59:31,490
will be to act as a sort of...
bridge for those less familiar

716
00:59:31,610 --> 00:59:34,970
with the legal witchcraftery
that's practised in this building.

717
00:59:35,090 --> 00:59:39,130
So, I'd like to start by bringing
everyone up to speed on his Lordship.

718
00:59:40,250 --> 00:59:43,050
Judge Edward Clark.
Now the good news for us

719
00:59:43,170 --> 00:59:46,170
is that he's an old, cantankerous,
upper-class bully.

720
00:59:46,290 --> 00:59:49,010
And Mr Short Back and Sides,
that's a good thing, is it?

721
00:59:49,130 --> 00:59:51,810
Yes, it is, because it means he
won't like being wound up.

722
00:59:51,890 --> 00:59:53,970
But wind him up, we must.
And wind him up, we will.

723
00:59:54,050 --> 00:59:55,970
I'm struggling to understand
how you consider

724
00:59:56,050 --> 00:59:58,650
antagonising the judge
to be a viable strategy.

725
00:59:59,450 --> 01:00:00,930
That's just the start, Mr Croft.

726
01:00:01,010 --> 01:00:03,490
We also have to find ourselves
an all-black jury.

727
01:00:03,570 --> 01:00:05,170
A black jury?

728
01:00:05,410 --> 01:00:07,730
Yes, okay, if you want
to pass these round.

729
01:00:09,370 --> 01:00:11,970
We pay a pound for a list
of all the proposed jurors.

730
01:00:15,330 --> 01:00:18,090
- Make sure everyone's got one.
- Wimbledon? Ealing and such?

731
01:00:18,970 --> 01:00:22,250
Doctors, civil servants
don't understand our struggle.

732
01:00:22,730 --> 01:00:25,410
You're damn right!
Their mind's made up already.

733
01:00:25,650 --> 01:00:27,410
Listen, some of them
got to be black.

734
01:00:27,490 --> 01:00:30,930
But if every one of us exercises our
right to reject seven jurors.

735
01:00:31,050 --> 01:00:32,410
That's seven-nines.

736
01:00:32,490 --> 01:00:35,290
Sixty-three.
We've got sixty-three attempts.

737
01:00:35,490 --> 01:00:36,490
Exactly.

738
01:00:36,570 --> 01:00:39,690
Look, ain't no matter.
The system is rigged me a tell you.

739
01:00:39,930 --> 01:00:41,410
The judge man a bully.

740
01:00:41,530 --> 01:00:45,010
You think him let a single black man
on the jury? Hear me counsel.

741
01:00:46,010 --> 01:00:49,130
All ah youse better start listening to
him instead of running up your mouth.

742
01:00:49,210 --> 01:00:51,650
Well with all due respect, Rhodan.
And to you too, Mr Lock.

743
01:00:51,730 --> 01:00:54,130
I actually think that mouthing off
might be our best strategy.

744
01:00:54,210 --> 01:00:55,970
We are here to defend our lives.

745
01:00:56,290 --> 01:00:59,410
So we are going to be loud
and we are going to be decisive.

746
01:01:07,330 --> 01:01:08,690
Step aside, please sir.

747
01:01:08,810 --> 01:01:10,210
I have my ticket. Look.

748
01:01:10,370 --> 01:01:12,370
If you'd like to step
to one side, please.

749
01:01:14,570 --> 01:01:17,690
It's my wife on trial.
No, you have to let me in.

750
01:01:17,810 --> 01:01:19,610
Sir. Step to one side.

751
01:01:20,690 --> 01:01:23,450
Ya tell all need to have a ticket.
Look it's right here.

752
01:01:24,050 --> 01:01:25,290
Ya blasted ragamuffin.

753
01:01:25,410 --> 01:01:27,570
And you. You only standing
there not saying nothing.

754
01:01:27,650 --> 01:01:30,530
Ya see how they treating me.
And the ticket right here!

755
01:01:30,810 --> 01:01:34,250
And you only standing there like some
macco. Man, take your fucking ticket.

756
01:02:19,050 --> 01:02:21,130
Silence. Be upstanding in court.

757
01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:31,410
All persons who have anything
to do before My Lords and Ladies,

758
01:02:31,490 --> 01:02:36,450
the Queen's justices draw near and give
your attention. God save the Queen.

759
01:02:42,090 --> 01:02:43,450
Good morning.

760
01:02:43,530 --> 01:02:45,610
Mr Hill, are we ready to proceed?

761
01:02:45,890 --> 01:02:47,690
Good morning, My Lord.
Almost ready.

762
01:02:47,770 --> 01:02:51,330
Before jury selection, we will discuss
access to the courtroom.

763
01:02:51,810 --> 01:02:55,650
The defence will then raise concerns
about the composition of the jury...

764
01:02:57,890 --> 01:02:59,650
Thank you, Mr Hill, thank you.

765
01:03:00,530 --> 01:03:02,210
Good morning, your Lordship!

766
01:03:02,490 --> 01:03:05,330
My Lord, some relatives
were prevented

767
01:03:05,450 --> 01:03:07,570
from entering court this morning.

768
01:03:07,730 --> 01:03:11,370
I'm a little disturbed that
at the very beginning of this case,

769
01:03:11,450 --> 01:03:14,010
the very people who need to hear
what happens

770
01:03:14,810 --> 01:03:16,610
suffered at the door of the court.

771
01:03:16,690 --> 01:03:19,970
The public do not have
unreserved access to my courtroom.

772
01:03:20,730 --> 01:03:24,290
- 'My courtroom,' your Lordship?
- In this instance, my courtroom.

773
01:03:25,410 --> 01:03:27,370
The officers have every right
to keep out those

774
01:03:27,490 --> 01:03:30,050
who are not playing an
essential part in this case.

775
01:03:30,130 --> 01:03:32,850
But, your Lordship, such is the public
interest in this case

776
01:03:32,970 --> 01:03:36,290
that might I actually suggest
a few extra seats be made available.

777
01:03:36,370 --> 01:03:39,530
Somewhere at the rear of the courtroom,
I think we can squeeze a couple in.

778
01:03:39,610 --> 01:03:42,290
You need know,
I issued the instructions myself.

779
01:03:42,730 --> 01:03:45,290
And it's not a matter I wish to
continue discussing in this courtroom.

780
01:03:45,370 --> 01:03:49,090
Well, justice must be seen to be done
by members of the public surely?

781
01:03:49,770 --> 01:03:51,770
For Christ's sake,
get a hold of yourself man.

782
01:03:51,850 --> 01:03:55,690
On the matter of extra seats...
Your application is denied.

783
01:03:55,850 --> 01:03:58,130
When the jury have been sworn in,
it can be a matter...

784
01:03:58,250 --> 01:04:01,290
My husband was refused admission
to the public gallery,

785
01:04:01,370 --> 01:04:03,250
even though he had a valid ticket.

786
01:04:03,410 --> 01:04:07,570
That is the luck of the draw
as with most things in life.

787
01:04:08,290 --> 01:04:11,530
What do the defence have to say
about selection of the jury?

788
01:04:11,970 --> 01:04:13,330
Yes, My Lord.

789
01:04:14,810 --> 01:04:18,170
On behalf of my client and the rest
of the defendants sat,

790
01:04:18,730 --> 01:04:21,090
rather uncomfortably,
in the dock today.

791
01:04:21,210 --> 01:04:24,610
I am making an application
for an all-black jury to be appointed.

792
01:04:25,970 --> 01:04:29,450
The decision to grant this application
would be hailed throughout the world...

793
01:04:29,530 --> 01:04:31,610
as a great victory for liberty.

794
01:04:32,410 --> 01:04:34,730
And why on God's Earth
would I agree to that?

795
01:04:34,850 --> 01:04:37,370
Well, an all-black jury is
required in this case, your Lordship,

796
01:04:37,450 --> 01:04:40,010
because they are
the only persons who qualify,

797
01:04:40,130 --> 01:04:43,850
in the conditions of our modern
society, as equals of the defendants.

798
01:04:44,450 --> 01:04:49,650
And are you implying that a white jury
would not treat the defendants fairly,

799
01:04:49,810 --> 01:04:52,770
as they are required to do by law.

800
01:04:52,890 --> 01:04:54,730
No. Not at all, your Lordship, no.

801
01:04:54,850 --> 01:04:58,210
Only that, with a white jury you
cannot guarantee against persons

802
01:04:58,290 --> 01:05:01,650
prejudicing the defendants solely
because they are black.

803
01:05:01,770 --> 01:05:05,890
My Lord, as my esteemed colleague
Mr Howe here has enlightened me,

804
01:05:06,010 --> 01:05:09,210
my request is based on
the common law of England,

805
01:05:09,330 --> 01:05:11,930
which has existed for
over seven-hundred years.

806
01:05:12,130 --> 01:05:15,730
Stretching as far back as the Magna
Carta, which was in twelve-fifteen,

807
01:05:15,810 --> 01:05:20,250
there's a great swathe of historical
examples that give precedent

808
01:05:20,330 --> 01:05:23,610
that a man should be tried
by his peers, or his equals.

809
01:05:25,050 --> 01:05:27,330
So what I am asking for is something

810
01:05:27,410 --> 01:05:30,370
that I am entitled
to under British law.

811
01:05:31,690 --> 01:05:34,090
I'm not asking for an extension
of the law,

812
01:05:34,170 --> 01:05:38,210
nor am I asking the court to make
any special concessions.

813
01:05:38,530 --> 01:05:42,250
I am grateful for your argument
but your application is rejected.

814
01:05:45,890 --> 01:05:49,770
Would his Lordship consider expanding
on the reasons for his judgement?

815
01:05:50,250 --> 01:05:52,890
I do not regard these circumstances
so exceptional

816
01:05:53,010 --> 01:05:54,530
that I should give my reasons.

817
01:05:54,650 --> 01:05:58,370
My Lord, I have no precedence to state,
but I have a sense of justice.

818
01:05:58,530 --> 01:06:02,770
Need I repeat myself?
The application is rejected. Move on.

819
01:06:06,770 --> 01:06:09,090
My Lord. I'd ask the court
for a short adjournment

820
01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:11,410
so that I might consult
with the defendants.

821
01:06:11,530 --> 01:06:13,050
Your request is rejected.

822
01:06:13,130 --> 01:06:16,530
A lot of very simple things are already
becoming complicated in this case.

823
01:06:16,610 --> 01:06:19,890
Do not make inflammatory remarks,
Mr McDonald.

824
01:06:20,010 --> 01:06:22,410
I am trying to keep things simple

825
01:06:22,570 --> 01:06:25,770
because there are unrepresented
defendants in the dock.

826
01:06:25,890 --> 01:06:28,410
- Do not do it again.
- Of course.

827
01:06:38,610 --> 01:06:40,490
Take the Bible in your right hand.

828
01:06:41,330 --> 01:06:42,890
- I swear...
- Challenge!

829
01:06:43,050 --> 01:06:45,490
- Take the Bible in your right hand.
- Challenge!

830
01:06:45,610 --> 01:06:47,930
- Take the Bible in your right...
- Challenge!

831
01:06:48,010 --> 01:06:49,730
Exercising my right, My Lord.

832
01:06:50,130 --> 01:06:53,130
Challenging the jury may be
within your judicial rights,

833
01:06:53,250 --> 01:06:56,410
but I don't want this trial
to deteriorate

834
01:06:56,530 --> 01:06:58,930
into a black and white contest.

835
01:06:59,490 --> 01:07:01,010
If you are going to challenge,

836
01:07:01,130 --> 01:07:04,610
I ask you to do it before the swearing
in begins. Understood?

837
01:07:05,090 --> 01:07:06,290
Of course.

838
01:07:06,370 --> 01:07:08,930
- Take the Bible in your right hand.
- Challenge!

839
01:07:09,930 --> 01:07:12,650
My Lord, you've just said that all
challenges must be lodged

840
01:07:12,730 --> 01:07:14,290
before the oaths commence.

841
01:07:14,410 --> 01:07:17,210
As was the case. Challenge upheld.
You may leave the court.

842
01:07:17,290 --> 01:07:20,650
- My Lord...
- Mr McDonald! I said upheld.

843
01:07:24,690 --> 01:07:27,890
You're not doing anyone any favours
by behaving like that.

844
01:07:28,010 --> 01:07:30,130
Well once Altheia and Darcus
get going Mr Croft

845
01:07:30,210 --> 01:07:33,530
I'm gonna seem positively timid.
I'm just warming the old bastard up.

846
01:07:33,610 --> 01:07:37,050
The judge wanna purge all ah we.
I see it in the eye, plain as day.

847
01:07:37,170 --> 01:07:39,810
Every request we make
he rejects straight up.

848
01:07:39,890 --> 01:07:42,450
Just a likkle sparring man.
Me wanna join in.

849
01:07:43,890 --> 01:07:47,290
British justice. What a joke.
It's a disaster, isn't it, Ian.

850
01:07:47,370 --> 01:07:49,570
No! It's not a disaster, no.

851
01:07:49,930 --> 01:07:54,610
See, we just made a judge at the Old
Bailey discuss race in his courtroom.

852
01:07:55,290 --> 01:07:58,130
He didn't want to do that.
He want to pretend this is a case

853
01:07:58,210 --> 01:08:00,970
about violence, about criminals,
about malcontents.

854
01:08:01,050 --> 01:08:04,930
But we have made it about what it is.
About the colour of our skin.

855
01:08:06,290 --> 01:08:08,050
It's a victory, uh?

856
01:08:08,850 --> 01:08:10,450
It's our first victory.

857
01:08:10,530 --> 01:08:13,650
Darcus is right. It might not be
pretty but we keep it going.

858
01:08:14,090 --> 01:08:16,170
An idea float eventually by itself.

859
01:08:17,770 --> 01:08:19,450
Me have a idea.

860
01:08:21,650 --> 01:08:23,090
For real.

861
01:08:26,130 --> 01:08:29,530
On Sunday the ninth
of August in North Kensington,

862
01:08:31,010 --> 01:08:33,650
a demonstration took
place against the police

863
01:08:34,810 --> 01:08:40,090
which degenerated into totally
inexcusable and unacceptable violence.

864
01:08:40,850 --> 01:08:43,690
There may be some in here
who believe

865
01:08:43,810 --> 01:08:46,330
that they have been the victim
of injustice

866
01:08:46,650 --> 01:08:48,370
at the hands of the police.

867
01:08:48,490 --> 01:08:53,490
But there are others who like
parasites feed on these beliefs.

868
01:08:54,410 --> 01:08:56,970
And seek to turn them
to their own advantage.

869
01:08:57,450 --> 01:09:00,570
Encouraging, and sometimes
deliberately creating

870
01:09:01,210 --> 01:09:04,650
hate, mistrust and violence.

871
01:09:05,610 --> 01:09:06,770
Ladies and gentlemen,

872
01:09:06,850 --> 01:09:10,650
this was not just a flamboyant
demonstration that got out of control.

873
01:09:11,970 --> 01:09:15,290
The crown will prove, that this
demonstration was led by those

874
01:09:15,410 --> 01:09:19,690
intent on fanning what they
knew to be an emotional situation.

875
01:09:20,770 --> 01:09:24,730
They egged on the violence
and deliberately joined in.

876
01:09:25,450 --> 01:09:27,170
These defendants are all guilty

877
01:09:27,250 --> 01:09:31,010
of the serious criminal offence
riot and affray.

878
01:09:31,170 --> 01:09:34,370
My Lord, I detect a certain
vagueness in the way the prosecution

879
01:09:34,450 --> 01:09:38,330
has brought this new charge of affray.
As a famous philosopher once said...

880
01:09:38,410 --> 01:09:41,010
I am giving you enormous
latitude here, Mr Howe.

881
01:09:41,090 --> 01:09:43,890
Sit down before I find you
in contempt of court.

882
01:09:43,970 --> 01:09:45,930
And take that ridiculous hat off.

883
01:09:50,690 --> 01:09:53,730
- Will you please proceed, Mr Hill.
- Thank you, My Lord.

884
01:10:41,650 --> 01:10:44,050
Would you like to take
the affirmation or the oath?

885
01:10:44,130 --> 01:10:45,370
The oath.

886
01:10:45,450 --> 01:10:49,330
Please hold the Bible
and read the oath out aloud.

887
01:10:50,450 --> 01:10:53,170
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give,

888
01:10:53,250 --> 01:10:57,130
shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.

889
01:11:01,850 --> 01:11:03,810
Please state your name and rank.

890
01:11:03,970 --> 01:11:06,050
Police Constable, Frank Pulley.

891
01:11:07,090 --> 01:11:09,530
PC Pulley, when did you
join the police force?

892
01:11:09,610 --> 01:11:12,250
- Nineteen-fifty-four.
- Seventeen years ago.

893
01:11:13,170 --> 01:11:16,890
And in all that time, how many
complaints have been made against you?

894
01:11:17,250 --> 01:11:21,290
No more than is normal. Maybe
seven or eight official complaints.

895
01:11:21,650 --> 01:11:24,050
None of them have been
substantiated.

896
01:11:24,130 --> 01:11:26,810
And how many times have you
been commended for service

897
01:11:26,930 --> 01:11:28,890
to Her Majesty's police force?

898
01:11:29,010 --> 01:11:30,810
A few times. More than a few.

899
01:11:31,170 --> 01:11:33,610
My Lord, my understanding
from you is that questions

900
01:11:33,730 --> 01:11:36,450
are to be focused on matters
concerning the trial.

901
01:11:36,650 --> 01:11:38,770
Madam, I think the jury
will understand

902
01:11:38,850 --> 01:11:41,450
that this is a member
of the Metropolitan Police

903
01:11:41,570 --> 01:11:43,650
and is to be respected as such...

904
01:11:43,850 --> 01:11:45,570
As long as the defendants
are afforded

905
01:11:45,650 --> 01:11:48,770
the same privileges
as PC Pulley, Your Lordship.

906
01:11:48,850 --> 01:11:52,650
Mr MacDonald, sit down and
be quiet. Mr Hill, please continue.

907
01:11:53,050 --> 01:11:55,570
Thank you, My Lord.
Do go on, PC Pulley.

908
01:11:55,930 --> 01:11:57,570
About my commendations.

909
01:11:57,770 --> 01:12:01,010
In nineteen-sixty-eight I received
the British Empire medal

910
01:12:01,090 --> 01:12:02,970
for gallantry whilst on duty.

911
01:12:03,730 --> 01:12:05,010
Thank you.

912
01:12:05,090 --> 01:12:07,810
Can you describe your role
on the day of the demonstration?

913
01:12:13,570 --> 01:12:17,010
At two-fifteen p.m., myself and
three other police constables,

914
01:12:17,090 --> 01:12:19,930
PC Dixon, PC Royce and PC Johnson

915
01:12:20,010 --> 01:12:22,570
went to the Mangrove
in an observation van.

916
01:12:23,050 --> 01:12:24,210
For what purpose?

917
01:12:24,330 --> 01:12:28,730
For the purpose of identifying people
who were involved in the demonstration.

918
01:12:29,130 --> 01:12:31,730
We arrived just before Howe
addressed the crowd.

919
01:12:32,330 --> 01:12:33,810
What did he say?

920
01:12:36,770 --> 01:12:38,890
We were going back and forth
in our vehicle,

921
01:12:38,970 --> 01:12:40,930
so I couldn't make any note
of what he said.

922
01:12:41,010 --> 01:12:43,570
So the demonstration then set off
from All Saints Road

923
01:12:43,650 --> 01:12:46,250
in the direction of Notting Dale
police station, correct?

924
01:12:46,330 --> 01:12:48,770
Correct. With Howe and
Crichlow leading the way.

925
01:12:48,850 --> 01:12:52,130
I did see them also leave
the main procession to try

926
01:12:52,250 --> 01:12:54,210
and get more people to join in.

927
01:12:54,770 --> 01:12:56,650
Millet was selling newspapers.

928
01:12:56,850 --> 01:13:00,730
I saw him approach a black woman
with a half-caste child.

929
01:13:01,210 --> 01:13:03,010
And she said to him

930
01:13:03,130 --> 01:13:07,610
'Go away and leave us alone, man.
You stupid troublemakers.'

931
01:13:08,770 --> 01:13:10,570
Did you hear his response?

932
01:13:10,690 --> 01:13:13,690
Millet told her
'You better think black, baby.

933
01:13:14,650 --> 01:13:17,370
Or you die with the white pigs
when the time comes.'

934
01:13:21,570 --> 01:13:23,010
Liar. No...

935
01:13:25,850 --> 01:13:27,850
THE PIGS THE PIGS HANDS OFF BLACK

936
01:13:32,690 --> 01:13:34,650
Did you see what started
the fighting?

937
01:13:34,730 --> 01:13:38,690
I did not, no. I saw Crichlow
and Howe talking together

938
01:13:38,850 --> 01:13:40,570
before joining in the main fight.

939
01:13:40,650 --> 01:13:44,330
Please describe their actions for
the courtroom as you recorded it.

940
01:13:44,970 --> 01:13:46,690
They were acting like savages.

941
01:13:49,010 --> 01:13:53,690
Howe was encouraging the mob and
standing on a brick wall screaming,

942
01:13:53,930 --> 01:13:55,410
'Kill the white pigs.'

943
01:13:56,530 --> 01:14:00,650
I saw Crichlow throw a piece
of wood right at an officer.

944
01:14:01,490 --> 01:14:04,410
Him and LeCointe,
both throwing bricks and bottles.

945
01:14:09,450 --> 01:14:11,330
How's Darcus coping in all this?

946
01:14:12,250 --> 01:14:15,570
Yeah, okay. I think he's nervous
about his coming speech.

947
01:14:16,130 --> 01:14:18,650
Not that Darcus. Darcus junior.

948
01:14:21,410 --> 01:14:27,250
Yeah. He's teething,
you know, so he's not sleeping.

949
01:14:29,930 --> 01:14:32,650
What if he's taken into care?
Like I was?

950
01:14:33,570 --> 01:14:34,850
It's not going to happen.

951
01:14:34,930 --> 01:14:37,850
Well, it will if both of his parents
get sent away. It will.

952
01:14:37,930 --> 01:14:42,290
I'm scared too, you know.
But we have to have faith.

953
01:14:44,210 --> 01:14:46,250
Faith in the British
justice system.

954
01:14:54,650 --> 01:14:57,930
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a thought.

955
01:15:04,290 --> 01:15:09,850
At least they can't take yours away
from you. Not whilst it's in there.

956
01:15:11,210 --> 01:15:15,290
And they can't take yours either.
Not whilst he's in here.

957
01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:01,090
You gon' eat a likkle, Frank?

958
01:16:02,250 --> 01:16:03,850
Just now...

959
01:16:16,170 --> 01:16:18,730
What you're doing' is a good ting,
you know.

960
01:16:20,410 --> 01:16:24,570
Might not feel like it but... it is.

961
01:16:27,370 --> 01:16:31,650
Everybody come together over this.
Have so much food...

962
01:16:31,850 --> 01:16:33,890
I can't go to the jail-house, Dol.

963
01:16:37,250 --> 01:16:39,770
Justice stay upon your side, eh?

964
01:16:40,490 --> 01:16:41,890
My backside maybe.

965
01:16:49,530 --> 01:16:54,450
Dice fix you up, man.
A game later tonight.

966
01:16:55,330 --> 01:16:59,810
No. But don't make me stop
you lose your pension.

967
01:17:03,690 --> 01:17:05,330
You me pension, Frank.

968
01:17:08,450 --> 01:17:10,130
You and everybody else.

969
01:17:21,970 --> 01:17:24,370
- Can you take him a minute, please?
- I can't, I working.

970
01:17:24,450 --> 01:17:27,210
- Yeah, well I'm working too.
- Look, I can't hear myself think!

971
01:17:27,330 --> 01:17:30,130
I'm trying to prepare for cross
examining Pulley,

972
01:17:30,210 --> 01:17:31,970
can you just shut up!

973
01:17:33,610 --> 01:17:35,010
Come on.

974
01:18:16,570 --> 01:18:19,890
I have it.
I have them this time.

975
01:18:53,970 --> 01:19:00,570
My Lord. I am defending myself against
some very serious allegations

976
01:19:00,850 --> 01:19:05,170
made by PC Pulley
and three other police officers

977
01:19:05,330 --> 01:19:07,090
who were stationed in a van.

978
01:19:08,890 --> 01:19:13,170
I would like to start by stating
my intention to question

979
01:19:14,250 --> 01:19:18,490
the credibility of this witness,
PC Frank Pulley.

980
01:19:18,810 --> 01:19:20,730
Noted.
Now is your opportunity.

981
01:19:28,250 --> 01:19:33,170
May I ask, PC Pulley,
if you think

982
01:19:33,290 --> 01:19:36,810
anybody who goes to the Mangrove
restaurant is already corrupted?

983
01:19:37,570 --> 01:19:39,090
Yes, I believe so.

984
01:19:40,650 --> 01:19:43,130
So frequent visitors like,

985
01:19:43,650 --> 01:19:47,050
the local MP, Mr Bruce Douglas-Mann
are corrupted?

986
01:19:48,210 --> 01:19:50,130
Is this what you are suggesting?

987
01:19:50,290 --> 01:19:51,890
I don't know the local MP.

988
01:19:51,970 --> 01:19:54,050
Are you suggesting I am corrupted?

989
01:19:54,650 --> 01:19:57,290
I have been to the Mangrove
on several occasions.

990
01:19:57,410 --> 01:19:59,090
I should think you are, yes.

991
01:19:59,210 --> 01:20:01,490
I know the place to be a haunt
of criminals,

992
01:20:01,570 --> 01:20:03,650
prostitutes,
ponces and the like.

993
01:20:04,810 --> 01:20:08,570
I put it to you, that all your
comments on this case,

994
01:20:09,730 --> 01:20:14,090
all the information you put
to the jury is rooted in prejudice.

995
01:20:14,730 --> 01:20:18,050
It's rooted in experience of an area
I have served

996
01:20:18,130 --> 01:20:21,250
as a police officer for
a considerable length of time.

997
01:20:21,850 --> 01:20:25,010
- When did you join the police force?
- Nineteen-fifty-four.

998
01:20:25,130 --> 01:20:30,410
Almost the same time as Detective
Inspector Stockwell joined too?

999
01:20:31,290 --> 01:20:32,810
Yes.

1000
01:20:32,970 --> 01:20:35,130
And yet you are a constable still?

1001
01:20:35,450 --> 01:20:36,970
That's correct.

1002
01:20:37,050 --> 01:20:41,130
May I be so bold as to ask why you
have never risen through the ranks?

1003
01:20:45,850 --> 01:20:47,490
I left school quite young.

1004
01:20:48,090 --> 01:20:51,170
Truth is I've never been able to pass
the police examinations.

1005
01:20:53,490 --> 01:20:55,330
My Lord, I cannot see the relevance.

1006
01:20:55,410 --> 01:20:58,170
Mr Howe, please keep
to the incidents of August the ninth.

1007
01:20:58,250 --> 01:20:59,890
Very well, my Lord.

1008
01:21:00,010 --> 01:21:03,050
Police Constable Pulley,
you made a statement,

1009
01:21:04,090 --> 01:21:07,970
that at the beginning of the
demonstration during the speeches

1010
01:21:08,170 --> 01:21:10,850
that the crowd had started chanting.

1011
01:21:12,410 --> 01:21:15,170
I ask you to compare your statement

1012
01:21:15,850 --> 01:21:18,650
with that of your three other
colleagues present,

1013
01:21:18,730 --> 01:21:20,770
who had made
no mention of chanting.

1014
01:21:20,890 --> 01:21:24,170
They hadn't said they couldn't hear,
there is a difference.

1015
01:21:25,050 --> 01:21:28,570
Did you and your other colleagues
in the observation van,

1016
01:21:28,850 --> 01:21:32,410
did you write your statements
at the same time, in the same room?

1017
01:21:32,730 --> 01:21:35,410
Yes, we did. When you work
in the same room, that's normal.

1018
01:21:35,490 --> 01:21:37,210
Is it quite normal too,

1019
01:21:37,290 --> 01:21:41,490
to decide together what to put in,
and what to leave out your statements?

1020
01:21:41,730 --> 01:21:44,930
I'm not sure where you're going
with this, but we did no such thing.

1021
01:21:45,970 --> 01:21:47,370
Of course not.

1022
01:21:47,770 --> 01:21:50,690
Far be it from me
to imply such chicanery.

1023
01:21:58,690 --> 01:22:01,450
PC Pulley, can you please confirm

1024
01:22:01,530 --> 01:22:04,650
that this is the size of the slit
in the observation van?

1025
01:22:05,610 --> 01:22:07,690
It's roughly the same I guess,
yeah.

1026
01:22:07,810 --> 01:22:13,730
Very good guess, PC Pulley.
This is roughly the size of the slit.

1027
01:22:14,810 --> 01:22:16,290
Two by eight inches...

1028
01:22:17,330 --> 01:22:22,250
Not much bigger,
and not much smaller.

1029
01:22:23,570 --> 01:22:25,930
It is your testament that you,

1030
01:22:26,730 --> 01:22:32,050
PC Dixon and PC Johnson were
all looking through this same hole

1031
01:22:32,450 --> 01:22:34,730
at the same time. Correct?

1032
01:22:43,370 --> 01:22:46,090
- I'm sorry. Is that correct?
- Yes, that's correct.

1033
01:22:47,850 --> 01:22:50,930
I would like to know, PC Pulley,

1034
01:22:52,170 --> 01:22:55,610
how it is possible that even two men

1035
01:22:55,770 --> 01:22:58,730
could look through this same hole
at the same time?

1036
01:23:02,370 --> 01:23:04,010
Quiet, at once!

1037
01:23:08,410 --> 01:23:12,610
It's possible if you... It's possible
if they both look through one eye.

1038
01:23:16,130 --> 01:23:18,690
So, where was your face PC Pulley?

1039
01:23:19,250 --> 01:23:22,410
Next to PC Royce
or next to PC Dixon?

1040
01:23:23,290 --> 01:23:24,850
Was it like this?

1041
01:23:25,650 --> 01:23:27,410
Or like this?

1042
01:23:28,010 --> 01:23:29,610
Where was your face, Pulley?

1043
01:23:29,730 --> 01:23:32,530
My Lord, please direct Mr Howe
to address the witness correctly.

1044
01:23:32,610 --> 01:23:35,690
Constable Pulley, you know why
you are now being ridiculed?

1045
01:23:36,130 --> 01:23:38,330
The image of four police officers

1046
01:23:38,450 --> 01:23:42,330
behaving in such a manner is
worthy of ridicule, is it not?

1047
01:23:44,050 --> 01:23:46,170
It could make a stuffed bird laugh.

1048
01:23:46,730 --> 01:23:48,850
Could make a stuffed bird laugh.

1049
01:23:49,010 --> 01:23:53,530
PC Pulley, I suggest that
substantial and important parts

1050
01:23:53,650 --> 01:23:55,970
of your evidence are deliberate lies.

1051
01:23:56,370 --> 01:23:58,650
Deliberate and conspiratorial lies,

1052
01:23:58,770 --> 01:24:02,250
designed to have my freedom
taken away from me!

1053
01:24:10,850 --> 01:24:13,250
So, where exactly
was your face then?

1054
01:24:14,530 --> 01:24:17,890
Like this? Or perhaps like this?
Where was it?

1055
01:24:19,050 --> 01:24:20,730
I don't remember.

1056
01:24:21,250 --> 01:24:23,130
You don't remember.

1057
01:24:24,570 --> 01:24:26,050
No.

1058
01:24:27,490 --> 01:24:32,770
PC Royce, thirteen times you say,
you don't remember or you can't say.

1059
01:24:33,810 --> 01:24:37,930
PC Pulley said thirty-three
times he didn't remember.

1060
01:24:39,050 --> 01:24:41,170
PC Johnson, twenty-eight times.

1061
01:24:41,890 --> 01:24:45,330
About seventy times the three
of you say, you can't remember.

1062
01:24:45,930 --> 01:24:48,250
You were put
in a van to observe and record.

1063
01:24:48,930 --> 01:24:52,130
From beginning to end,
in order to provide information

1064
01:24:52,250 --> 01:24:55,010
that would give the truth
as to what took place.

1065
01:24:55,410 --> 01:25:02,130
I suggest you failed distinctly in your
responsibility to observe and record.

1066
01:25:03,770 --> 01:25:08,930
Let me ask you again.
Where was your face, PC Royce?

1067
01:25:09,530 --> 01:25:11,450
Where was your face?

1068
01:25:13,170 --> 01:25:15,770
If you do not accept
responsibility now,

1069
01:25:16,490 --> 01:25:18,370
history will bestow it upon you.

1070
01:25:18,570 --> 01:25:20,450
Pulley's signalling at the witness.

1071
01:25:20,530 --> 01:25:23,370
I seen him. Royce taking instruction
upon the witness stand.

1072
01:25:23,450 --> 01:25:25,570
Is a breach ah court,
a court breach.

1073
01:25:25,650 --> 01:25:27,970
Constable Pulley,
this is a very serious allegation.

1074
01:25:28,050 --> 01:25:30,370
I must ask that you leave
the courtroom at once.

1075
01:25:30,450 --> 01:25:33,530
Is only that? Shouldn't a crooked man
be lock up or something?

1076
01:25:33,610 --> 01:25:35,930
Will the defendant
sit down at once!

1077
01:25:37,050 --> 01:25:38,610
Mr Pulley...

1078
01:25:38,850 --> 01:25:41,690
You will not return until your fellow
officers in the observation van

1079
01:25:41,770 --> 01:25:43,850
have all given their evidence.

1080
01:25:44,250 --> 01:25:48,050
You should consider yourself lucky
that no further action will be taken.

1081
01:25:51,690 --> 01:25:53,650
No further questions, my Lord.

1082
01:25:56,050 --> 01:25:59,610
Should have been bang-up if you ask me.
Least been given some licks.

1083
01:25:59,690 --> 01:26:02,210
But if you hadn't shouted at the judge
we'd have had a much better chance

1084
01:26:02,290 --> 01:26:03,450
at a sterner punishment.

1085
01:26:03,530 --> 01:26:05,850
Don't give me a six for a nine.
Cause you is working for me.

1086
01:26:05,930 --> 01:26:08,010
- Brother, no hot up you head now?
- Gonna cool down, boy?

1087
01:26:08,090 --> 01:26:11,450
It's alright for you. The cunumunu
supposed to be working for me!

1088
01:26:11,690 --> 01:26:14,970
Me done. Me don't need no counsel.
Go on! Get out my eyeball range!

1089
01:26:15,290 --> 01:26:17,250
Rhodan.
Where you go to, boy?

1090
01:26:17,370 --> 01:26:20,370
I'll represent myself.
If them two can, me can too.

1091
01:26:20,970 --> 01:26:24,170
No disrespect, yah?
But ya sure you up for that?

1092
01:26:25,130 --> 01:26:28,050
Altheia and Darcus they put
in the work, you know?

1093
01:26:28,330 --> 01:26:31,450
And if you vex the judge,
that could do you more harm.

1094
01:26:31,570 --> 01:26:33,450
That could do all ah we more harm.

1095
01:26:33,530 --> 01:26:36,450
Frank! It's every man
for him own self.

1096
01:26:37,690 --> 01:26:40,130
It's dem and we.

1097
01:27:02,250 --> 01:27:03,810
Be upstanding in court.

1098
01:27:25,370 --> 01:27:27,610
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence

1099
01:27:27,690 --> 01:27:31,690
I shall give shall be the truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

1100
01:27:31,770 --> 01:27:34,250
I swear by Almighty God
that the evidence I shall give

1101
01:27:34,330 --> 01:27:37,290
shall be the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.

1102
01:28:23,370 --> 01:28:26,410
- State your name and rank.
- PC Charles Wheeler.

1103
01:28:26,530 --> 01:28:29,530
- Where are you stationed?
- Notting Dale police station.

1104
01:28:29,690 --> 01:28:32,970
And how long have you been serving
in the Metropolitan police?

1105
01:28:33,090 --> 01:28:34,930
It's been about five years now.

1106
01:28:35,010 --> 01:28:38,690
And in those five years, how many
complaints have been made against you?

1107
01:28:38,810 --> 01:28:40,290
None. None at all.

1108
01:28:40,410 --> 01:28:43,050
None? And how many
commendations?

1109
01:28:43,210 --> 01:28:44,770
I've had three.

1110
01:28:44,890 --> 01:28:48,890
Could you please tell the court what
the first commendation was for?

1111
01:28:49,770 --> 01:28:51,850
I was involved in a rescue.

1112
01:28:52,010 --> 01:28:53,890
A rescue? What sort of rescue?

1113
01:28:53,970 --> 01:28:55,290
A father had abducted a...

1114
01:28:55,410 --> 01:28:58,770
It's also repetitious and irrelevant.
Where is the justice?

1115
01:28:59,010 --> 01:29:00,050
Sit down!

1116
01:29:00,130 --> 01:29:03,810
No! No, no I won't. The officer
has nothing to do with the case.

1117
01:29:03,890 --> 01:29:07,610
It is a complete waste of time!
Where is the justice?

1118
01:29:08,250 --> 01:29:10,330
The officer has nothing
to do with the case.

1119
01:29:10,410 --> 01:29:14,290
The officer has nothing to do
with the case.

1120
01:29:15,290 --> 01:29:18,010
I am warning you.
Take control of your client.

1121
01:29:23,090 --> 01:29:24,810
Silence in court!

1122
01:29:31,970 --> 01:29:33,570
Silence!

1123
01:29:34,770 --> 01:29:36,570
Nothing to do with the case!

1124
01:29:37,610 --> 01:29:39,330
Silence!

1125
01:29:42,570 --> 01:29:44,490
If any, of the defendants...

1126
01:29:44,810 --> 01:29:47,210
Whatever man,
it's a bloodclaat conspiracy, man!

1127
01:29:47,290 --> 01:29:50,890
If any of the defendants continue
to disrupt these proceedings

1128
01:29:51,890 --> 01:29:54,970
they will be taken downstairs!
Is that understood?

1129
01:29:56,810 --> 01:29:58,330
To let emotions settle,

1130
01:29:59,370 --> 01:30:02,890
we will continue with the Crown's
witness after an adjournment.

1131
01:30:03,610 --> 01:30:05,170
- God's sake!
- Justice!

1132
01:30:06,130 --> 01:30:07,770
- Bumbaclaat!
- Typical!

1133
01:30:08,410 --> 01:30:11,090
Come on, now. Come on down.
Clear the court.

1134
01:30:11,970 --> 01:30:13,410
- Ian!
- Yes?

1135
01:30:13,490 --> 01:30:15,970
- Talk to me, boy.
- I said, clear the court!

1136
01:30:16,930 --> 01:30:18,690
Take your hands off him!

1137
01:30:19,370 --> 01:30:21,890
Darcus do not resist.
Don't resist! Darcus!

1138
01:30:29,970 --> 01:30:33,570
Get in there!

1139
01:30:38,130 --> 01:30:39,770
What's wrong with you?

1140
01:30:41,250 --> 01:30:45,770
Come on, then. Come on, then.
Fight me, come on!

1141
01:30:52,170 --> 01:30:54,330
All of ya, come on! Fight me!

1142
01:30:55,250 --> 01:30:56,770
Fight me!

1143
01:30:57,930 --> 01:31:01,850
Ya savages!
All a' ya wicked men, ya wicked!

1144
01:31:02,850 --> 01:31:09,370
Ya dutty mothers, nanas skunt.
Ya skunt. All ya wicked men.

1145
01:31:10,010 --> 01:31:11,410
What's wrong with you?

1146
01:31:21,930 --> 01:31:24,170
Come on! Come on!

1147
01:31:26,130 --> 01:31:28,450
Ya dirty, ya dirt nanas skunt.

1148
01:31:28,850 --> 01:31:32,930
Ya skunt. All you wicked,
you wicked men.

1149
01:31:33,490 --> 01:31:37,490
Ya dirty, nasty skunt. Ya skunt!

1150
01:31:39,650 --> 01:31:41,170
What's wrong with you!

1151
01:32:23,370 --> 01:32:25,050
Let the court be upstanding.

1152
01:32:43,650 --> 01:32:44,650
Your Honour.

1153
01:32:44,770 --> 01:32:47,010
It's my Lord or Your Lordship.
Yes, Mr Howe.

1154
01:32:48,810 --> 01:32:52,370
My Lord. I want to bring
a matter to your attention.

1155
01:32:55,930 --> 01:33:00,250
Before the break, I was trying to speak
to my co-counsel, Mr MacDonald.

1156
01:33:01,090 --> 01:33:03,970
As acting counsel,
I'm perfectly entitled to do this.

1157
01:33:04,730 --> 01:33:07,610
When a prison officer,
suddenly went berserk,

1158
01:33:08,570 --> 01:33:12,530
manhandling me worse than
if I were a convicted prisoner.

1159
01:33:13,450 --> 01:33:16,850
So I said, 'hold on, please let me
have a few words with him.'

1160
01:33:17,930 --> 01:33:22,490
Whereupon he dragged me to the top
there, slammed me down the stairs.

1161
01:33:24,610 --> 01:33:27,250
I am now concerned
about my physical well-being

1162
01:33:27,410 --> 01:33:31,170
which I had presumed safe
at the Old Bailey.

1163
01:33:31,850 --> 01:33:34,250
Are there any witnesses
to these allegations?

1164
01:33:34,330 --> 01:33:38,090
I can confirm that Mr Howe's version
of events is correct my Lord, yes.

1165
01:33:38,610 --> 01:33:43,010
My Lord. My client Frank Crichlow was
also manhandled by court officers.

1166
01:33:44,010 --> 01:33:47,410
Thank you, Mr Woodley, but
that is quite enough on this matter...

1167
01:33:47,530 --> 01:33:50,690
Mr Howe, this should not have
been discussed in front of the jury...

1168
01:33:50,770 --> 01:33:53,410
The jury must not be concerned
with external matters

1169
01:33:53,530 --> 01:33:55,930
that have nothing at
all to do with this case.

1170
01:33:56,410 --> 01:33:59,330
Please, find a way to purge
this from your minds.

1171
01:34:00,050 --> 01:34:03,330
Your sole considerations are with
those events that happened last year

1172
01:34:03,410 --> 01:34:05,370
on August the ninth on Portnall Road.

1173
01:34:05,490 --> 01:34:08,810
My Lord. This is a matter
of the utmost seriousness.

1174
01:34:09,610 --> 01:34:12,330
And all we are asking is that it
should be dealt with accordingly.

1175
01:34:12,410 --> 01:34:15,410
And that is precisely what
this court intends to do.

1176
01:34:15,610 --> 01:34:20,450
But according to the law. I insist
that you apologise for your rudeness.

1177
01:34:21,410 --> 01:34:25,770
I'll apologise to His Lordship, when
His Lordship apologises to Mr Howe.

1178
01:34:28,770 --> 01:34:32,730
Mr Mendel, after the break I suggest
all court officers be replaced.

1179
01:34:33,010 --> 01:34:34,810
I see the matter ending there.

1180
01:34:39,850 --> 01:34:42,930
The aerobic and anaerobic organisms
transmitted by the mouth

1181
01:34:43,010 --> 01:34:46,810
when human teeth pierce or lacerate
the skin can cause cellulitis,

1182
01:34:46,930 --> 01:34:48,290
an infection that...

1183
01:34:48,370 --> 01:34:50,010
Thank you, Dr Chadee.

1184
01:34:50,170 --> 01:34:54,810
Where in your statement do you mention
punctures or lacerations to the skin?

1185
01:34:58,610 --> 01:35:00,610
Nowhere in your statement.

1186
01:35:00,850 --> 01:35:04,010
You only talk of bite marks
and indentations to the skin.

1187
01:35:05,170 --> 01:35:09,490
Now can you tell the courtroom,
how many days after the demonstration,

1188
01:35:10,210 --> 01:35:12,930
and my subsequent arrest
on the ninth of August,

1189
01:35:13,010 --> 01:35:15,970
was it before you examined
the police officers?

1190
01:35:16,650 --> 01:35:18,410
And if you need any sort of help,

1191
01:35:18,490 --> 01:35:21,290
it is written clearly at the top of
your statement.

1192
01:35:24,250 --> 01:35:26,970
- Four days.
- Sorry, so we can all hear.

1193
01:35:29,570 --> 01:35:31,090
Four days later.

1194
01:35:31,770 --> 01:35:33,450
Four days later?

1195
01:35:34,410 --> 01:35:37,610
Thank you. So my question is this.

1196
01:35:38,970 --> 01:35:43,370
In your expert medical opinion,
how much time do you have,

1197
01:35:43,970 --> 01:35:47,890
once these bite marks,
these indentations have been inflicted

1198
01:35:47,970 --> 01:35:50,890
to precisely identify
when they were made.

1199
01:35:56,610 --> 01:35:59,810
Oh, gosh. You quiet.

1200
01:36:01,530 --> 01:36:04,330
It's not a trick question.
Shall I repeat it for you?

1201
01:36:08,650 --> 01:36:11,090
Three hours.
About three hours.

1202
01:36:12,130 --> 01:36:14,970
And so, after three hours,

1203
01:36:16,450 --> 01:36:20,250
it is no longer possible to tell when
the bite marks were made, correct?

1204
01:36:21,650 --> 01:36:26,010
I've been accused of biting a
police officer who was examined by you

1205
01:36:26,090 --> 01:36:28,610
four days after the events,
Dr Chadee.

1206
01:36:29,730 --> 01:36:35,210
Four days! Someone is obviously lying
in this courtroom. Is it you?

1207
01:36:35,650 --> 01:36:38,370
My Lord, I must object to the phrase
used in the line of questioning.

1208
01:36:38,450 --> 01:36:41,410
Please rephrase your question
Miss Jones-LeCointe.

1209
01:36:47,010 --> 01:36:49,770
Seems like a fitting way
to end a prosecution's case

1210
01:36:49,850 --> 01:36:51,730
if you ask me, My Lord.

1211
01:36:53,610 --> 01:36:55,170
No further questions.

1212
01:36:56,010 --> 01:36:57,890
Dr Chadee, you may stand down.

1213
01:36:58,330 --> 01:37:02,210
Now that the prosecution's
case has come to an end,

1214
01:37:02,850 --> 01:37:07,690
we will adjourn for a few days while
legal submissions are made.

1215
01:37:07,890 --> 01:37:11,410
What they gonna do to try
and get us this time?

1216
01:37:14,610 --> 01:37:17,650
Forgive me, My Lord,
but it is evidently clear

1217
01:37:18,090 --> 01:37:21,770
that there are pronounced
contradictions and inconsistencies

1218
01:37:21,850 --> 01:37:23,930
between the Crown
and prosecution.

1219
01:37:24,010 --> 01:37:25,930
Therefore, if it please
Your Lordship,

1220
01:37:26,050 --> 01:37:28,930
the defence submit that the
prosecution's case should not proceed,

1221
01:37:29,010 --> 01:37:30,570
that there is no case to answer,

1222
01:37:30,650 --> 01:37:33,490
and that these matters should
not be left with a jury.

1223
01:37:33,610 --> 01:37:38,450
Much as there is a temptation to remove
your presence from this court.

1224
01:37:38,730 --> 01:37:41,490
I find there is a Prima facie
case to be made.

1225
01:37:41,650 --> 01:37:43,370
I reject your submission.

1226
01:37:47,570 --> 01:37:48,930
Be upstanding in court.

1227
01:38:44,730 --> 01:38:46,290
I don't wanna go to jail.

1228
01:38:46,410 --> 01:38:49,450
The only crime you've committed
is to give a space to these people.

1229
01:38:49,530 --> 01:38:51,010
You're a law-abiding citizen.

1230
01:38:51,090 --> 01:38:54,370
Your premises were overrun
by a bunch of agitators.

1231
01:38:54,490 --> 01:38:55,970
What ya really saying, man?

1232
01:38:56,050 --> 01:38:58,530
I can't help these people,
Mr Crichlow.

1233
01:38:58,730 --> 01:39:00,970
But I can help you,
if you plead guilty.

1234
01:39:01,610 --> 01:39:03,410
Is what he telling you, Frank?

1235
01:39:08,130 --> 01:39:12,610
Look how you screwing up your face.
Is what he telling you to do?

1236
01:39:15,290 --> 01:39:16,610
Plead guilty.

1237
01:39:20,650 --> 01:39:24,890
Plead what?
Is that what you said for real?

1238
01:39:25,490 --> 01:39:28,370
Mrs Jones-LeCointe, these are very
serious charges

1239
01:39:28,530 --> 01:39:30,730
and now that you all have to give
testimony on the witness stand.

1240
01:39:30,810 --> 01:39:33,250
I think it highly likely you
will be found guilty!

1241
01:39:34,730 --> 01:39:36,890
All a' ya wicked.
You flipping...

1242
01:39:37,010 --> 01:39:39,330
- What you say? Plead what?
- Guilty.

1243
01:39:39,690 --> 01:39:42,210
All ya better take this
fricking man out my face.

1244
01:39:43,090 --> 01:39:44,810
Move out my face!

1245
01:39:47,930 --> 01:39:49,770
Is that what you gon' do?

1246
01:39:51,410 --> 01:39:52,930
You can't be doing that.

1247
01:39:54,250 --> 01:39:58,330
Not now, you can't, Frank.
He trying to divide us.

1248
01:39:59,010 --> 01:40:01,130
For four-hundred years people like him

1249
01:40:01,250 --> 01:40:04,130
trying to divide our people,
undermine us.

1250
01:40:08,530 --> 01:40:10,890
This trial is another way
of doing that.

1251
01:40:12,050 --> 01:40:15,250
Of destroying a strong black
movement in this country.

1252
01:40:16,930 --> 01:40:20,610
We have to stick together.
As a collective.

1253
01:40:21,810 --> 01:40:23,730
The Mangrove Nine.
As a people.

1254
01:40:24,250 --> 01:40:26,130
It's what you telling me, boy?

1255
01:40:27,850 --> 01:40:29,850
That's all that matters.

1256
01:40:31,530 --> 01:40:33,130
I don't get it.

1257
01:40:34,610 --> 01:40:37,730
You want to sit in a courthouse
for the next six weeks

1258
01:40:38,610 --> 01:40:40,410
so we can get more time in jail?

1259
01:40:41,410 --> 01:40:43,850
I don't want go to jail.
You understand?

1260
01:40:45,530 --> 01:40:47,850
These people, they like vampires.

1261
01:40:48,890 --> 01:40:52,890
You think you beat them, but they keep
coming back and back, again, again.

1262
01:40:53,530 --> 01:40:55,850
It's like a silver bullet ain't enough.

1263
01:40:56,690 --> 01:40:59,130
You have to stick them
through the heart.

1264
01:40:59,650 --> 01:41:02,210
Then get the garlic,
then chop off their head too.

1265
01:41:02,290 --> 01:41:03,890
It's never enough.

1266
01:41:04,570 --> 01:41:07,290
The best we can hope
for is a draw. A draw.

1267
01:41:08,890 --> 01:41:11,250
The system rigged. It's rotten.

1268
01:41:13,210 --> 01:41:16,770
And what are we fighting for, huh?
For what, Altheia?

1269
01:41:19,130 --> 01:41:20,930
For my unborn child.

1270
01:41:23,970 --> 01:41:25,490
That's what.

1271
01:41:32,210 --> 01:41:33,770
All of this...

1272
01:41:35,450 --> 01:41:39,810
All of our fight...
It counts beyond us here.

1273
01:41:42,010 --> 01:41:44,690
This trial is more than just
about our freedom.

1274
01:41:45,650 --> 01:41:50,570
What is being called into question
in this case is the right of anybody,

1275
01:41:50,970 --> 01:41:54,770
not just us as black people, but
the right of anybody to demonstrate.

1276
01:41:57,770 --> 01:42:01,330
I'm not just here defending myself,
but trying to defend all of us.

1277
01:42:02,330 --> 01:42:05,610
But if we fold now and we let,
and we let them take over,

1278
01:42:05,810 --> 01:42:08,450
and we give in to them,
they will take it all from us.

1279
01:42:09,490 --> 01:42:12,010
And they will take it
from our children, too.

1280
01:42:15,530 --> 01:42:21,050
We are the example,
and we must bear this responsibility.

1281
01:42:24,370 --> 01:42:28,290
Please, if all ya want
to take your plea, you take it.

1282
01:42:29,930 --> 01:42:31,690
As is your right to.

1283
01:43:34,410 --> 01:43:35,850
What's the matter?

1284
01:43:36,570 --> 01:43:38,090
Nothing.

1285
01:43:38,330 --> 01:43:39,970
Come back to bed.

1286
01:45:03,170 --> 01:45:06,050
- So where were you then?
- I told you, Portnall.

1287
01:45:06,890 --> 01:45:07,970
Speak up, Mr Crichlow.

1288
01:45:08,050 --> 01:45:10,810
If I can't hear you, how can the jury
be expected to?

1289
01:45:11,570 --> 01:45:13,490
I was on Portnall Road.

1290
01:45:13,810 --> 01:45:15,290
Where the fighting was?

1291
01:45:15,930 --> 01:45:18,490
So you went there deliberately to get
involved in the fighting,

1292
01:45:18,610 --> 01:45:21,090
which had by then, you say,
already started?

1293
01:45:21,250 --> 01:45:24,330
No, I told you. I already knew
where the march was headed...

1294
01:45:24,490 --> 01:45:26,530
Because you organised
the demonstration?

1295
01:45:26,610 --> 01:45:29,210
Because I was on the organising
committee, yes.

1296
01:45:29,450 --> 01:45:31,850
But, it was an accident
that we meet when we did.

1297
01:45:31,970 --> 01:45:33,410
So, let me get this correct.

1298
01:45:33,490 --> 01:45:35,770
You knew exactly
where the march was going

1299
01:45:35,890 --> 01:45:40,010
but it was just an accident that you
joined up with it again when you did?

1300
01:45:40,090 --> 01:45:42,690
- The whole thing was an accident.
- An accident?

1301
01:45:42,770 --> 01:45:46,770
Even the Chief Inspector say so.
You don't know Notting Hill.

1302
01:45:46,890 --> 01:45:49,450
- Possibly not.
- You understand nothing.

1303
01:45:49,570 --> 01:45:52,010
What I would strongly suggest,
Mr Crichlow,

1304
01:45:52,130 --> 01:45:54,610
is that you were at the heart
of the disturbance,

1305
01:45:54,690 --> 01:45:56,370
and one of its chief agitators.

1306
01:45:56,450 --> 01:45:58,770
Well, like I said,
you understand nothing.

1307
01:45:59,650 --> 01:46:02,690
- You already knew PC Pulley?
- What you yapping, man?

1308
01:46:03,330 --> 01:46:05,890
Everyone know the heavy mob
in Notting Hill.

1309
01:46:06,050 --> 01:46:09,290
So please describe PC Pulley's
standing in the community.

1310
01:46:10,250 --> 01:46:11,730
His standing?

1311
01:46:14,570 --> 01:46:16,490
Forgive me,
members of the jury.

1312
01:46:17,210 --> 01:46:20,410
I find it difficult to control myself
when the prosecutor chat

1313
01:46:20,490 --> 01:46:22,330
about the stature of Pulley.

1314
01:46:22,730 --> 01:46:24,730
I have known that man for ten years

1315
01:46:25,250 --> 01:46:30,330
and no bigger bully, no greater thug,
no greater gangster plant him big foot

1316
01:46:30,650 --> 01:46:32,850
in the Notting Hill in all that time.

1317
01:46:33,290 --> 01:46:34,290
No, sir.

1318
01:46:34,370 --> 01:46:38,290
Mr Gordon, I am once again granting
an enormous amount of latitude here.

1319
01:46:38,690 --> 01:46:40,330
Channa man!

1320
01:46:41,370 --> 01:46:42,930
Mr Gordon.

1321
01:46:44,010 --> 01:46:46,570
I was not holding the pig's
head at that point.

1322
01:46:46,650 --> 01:46:47,850
What were you holding?

1323
01:46:47,930 --> 01:46:50,610
A placard that said,
'Hands off Black people.'

1324
01:46:50,970 --> 01:46:53,570
And then a man came
and snatched it away from me.

1325
01:46:54,050 --> 01:46:57,650
A white man, tall and heavily built.
He looked like a lunatic.

1326
01:46:58,770 --> 01:47:01,050
I asked him what the hell
he thought he was doing,

1327
01:47:01,130 --> 01:47:03,170
but he just broke
the placard over his knee.

1328
01:47:03,250 --> 01:47:04,890
So I tried to get it back from him.

1329
01:47:04,970 --> 01:47:06,410
You tried to get it back from him,

1330
01:47:06,530 --> 01:47:09,090
even though, as you say,
he looked like a lunatic.

1331
01:47:09,170 --> 01:47:12,450
Not afraid of loons. Been surrounded
by them all my life.

1332
01:47:12,930 --> 01:47:14,370
So you attacked the man?

1333
01:47:14,570 --> 01:47:17,850
No, I did not. Before I knew it,
I was being arrested.

1334
01:47:19,010 --> 01:47:20,490
Did you resist arrest?

1335
01:47:20,770 --> 01:47:23,450
Course I resisted arrest.
Done nothing wrong, had I?

1336
01:47:24,490 --> 01:47:26,810
Did you ask where the demonstration
was going?

1337
01:47:26,890 --> 01:47:29,450
No. I hung around
to show my solidarity.

1338
01:47:30,210 --> 01:47:32,530
You see, I wasn't too concerned
with where it was going

1339
01:47:32,610 --> 01:47:35,850
because I'd always intended to get
myself down to prayer meeting

1340
01:47:35,970 --> 01:47:38,090
down at Acklam Road
at three-thirty.

1341
01:47:38,250 --> 01:47:40,010
- Hallelujah.
- Yeah, man...

1342
01:47:41,450 --> 01:47:44,970
But whilst on All Saints Road,
did you join in with the chants?

1343
01:47:45,250 --> 01:47:48,290
No, I did not. Although it is true
that me daughter,

1344
01:47:49,210 --> 01:47:50,850
she did like the one that went

1345
01:47:51,050 --> 01:47:55,170
'The pigs. The pigs.
We have to get rid of the pigs.'

1346
01:47:55,930 --> 01:47:58,050
Mr Caboo, please take the stand...

1347
01:48:02,050 --> 01:48:05,490
I am not Roy Caboo,
as identified by the arrest warrant.

1348
01:48:06,370 --> 01:48:08,650
My name is Godfrey Millett.

1349
01:48:09,450 --> 01:48:13,130
But, in fact and truth,
Millett is only my slave name...

1350
01:48:13,770 --> 01:48:16,810
I myself deny all the charges
made against me.

1351
01:48:17,210 --> 01:48:20,250
I do also deny saying to a black woman,

1352
01:48:20,890 --> 01:48:24,610
'Think black, baby, or die with
the white pigs, when the time comes.'

1353
01:48:25,610 --> 01:48:28,170
I am innocent of all the charges.

1354
01:48:38,810 --> 01:48:42,530
Over the past eleven weeks,
you have heard expressions of passion,

1355
01:48:43,090 --> 01:48:46,930
of emotion and perhaps of prejudice.

1356
01:48:47,890 --> 01:48:52,130
There was nothing illegal in police
searching the Mangrove restaurant.

1357
01:48:52,690 --> 01:48:57,250
They were acting within the law.
And yet, members of the jury,

1358
01:48:57,930 --> 01:48:59,450
you are here being asked

1359
01:48:59,570 --> 01:49:04,050
if you accept the testimony of the
Metropolitan policemen as truth?

1360
01:49:04,530 --> 01:49:07,210
The prosecution invites you
to say that you do.

1361
01:49:08,090 --> 01:49:10,690
Because they are officers of the law
in whom you can

1362
01:49:10,770 --> 01:49:13,610
and should place an absolute trust.

1363
01:49:14,410 --> 01:49:16,970
There is no grey area
about PC Pulley.

1364
01:49:17,490 --> 01:49:21,250
PC Pulley is either telling the truth,
or he is totally dishonest.

1365
01:49:22,130 --> 01:49:25,370
Do you really imagine that police
officers would take the risk

1366
01:49:25,450 --> 01:49:29,570
of making up evidence?
Of course not. They wouldn't dare.

1367
01:49:31,570 --> 01:49:34,330
The prosecution contends
that this demonstration,

1368
01:49:35,170 --> 01:49:39,930
organised and inflamed by the men
and women in the dock before you today,

1369
01:49:40,290 --> 01:49:43,050
was violent in manner and in tone.

1370
01:49:43,530 --> 01:49:47,130
It was mounted generally
and specifically against the police,

1371
01:49:47,250 --> 01:49:50,770
and in favour of what is called
'the black community.'

1372
01:49:53,210 --> 01:49:55,970
We have heard from distinguished
witnesses who described

1373
01:49:56,090 --> 01:49:59,370
a 'screaming mob',
that were 'behaving like savages'.

1374
01:49:59,890 --> 01:50:04,730
Like savages.
The prosecution says that you can rely

1375
01:50:04,930 --> 01:50:07,850
on the testimony of an experienced
police officer,

1376
01:50:08,650 --> 01:50:13,490
and, difficult as it may be, that you
are bound to accept his evidence

1377
01:50:14,490 --> 01:50:17,610
and faithfully to return your
verdict, of guilty.

1378
01:50:21,130 --> 01:50:23,050
That is the case for the Crown.

1379
01:50:36,570 --> 01:50:38,330
- Go on, Darcus.
- Silence...

1380
01:50:54,330 --> 01:50:56,290
The time is out of joint...

1381
01:50:57,050 --> 01:50:58,650
Oh cursed spite,

1382
01:51:01,650 --> 01:51:06,730
that ever a black people,
were born to set it right...

1383
01:51:16,970 --> 01:51:18,770
We say it's closing time...

1384
01:51:20,970 --> 01:51:23,770
But in a certain sense,
the matter has just begun.

1385
01:51:25,010 --> 01:51:30,850
For I believe that this case has opened
issues which are likely to decide

1386
01:51:31,170 --> 01:51:35,490
the shape and future
of British society.

1387
01:51:36,450 --> 01:51:38,770
I believe. And Europe.

1388
01:51:40,050 --> 01:51:42,970
I believe that this case
has opened issues.

1389
01:51:43,450 --> 01:51:47,130
It has seared the consciousness
of the Black community to an extent

1390
01:51:47,610 --> 01:51:51,330
that the history of Britain cannot
now be written without it.

1391
01:51:56,690 --> 01:51:59,010
I want to make myself abundantly clear.

1392
01:52:00,730 --> 01:52:06,250
Whatever verdict you come to,
I mean it when I say, 'I don't care.'

1393
01:52:08,050 --> 01:52:11,650
I don't care because I believe
history is on my side.

1394
01:52:13,530 --> 01:52:16,570
That if riot and affray carries that
maximum sentence,

1395
01:52:16,730 --> 01:52:21,570
the sky's the limit. I don't care.
I don't care. I don't care!

1396
01:52:27,090 --> 01:52:30,970
I stand accused of riot and affray.
No.

1397
01:52:32,290 --> 01:52:36,250
I stand here accusing those
who've been involved in conspiracy.

1398
01:52:36,490 --> 01:52:38,290
That's my position.

1399
01:52:39,330 --> 01:52:40,930
It's closing time...

1400
01:52:41,490 --> 01:52:44,530
Now you have heard
an awful lot about the Mangrove.

1401
01:52:45,250 --> 01:52:50,050
It has been portrayed by the
prosecution as an ordinary restaurant

1402
01:52:50,330 --> 01:52:52,130
with licensing problems.

1403
01:52:52,570 --> 01:52:54,450
How ignorant can people get?

1404
01:52:54,650 --> 01:52:57,770
How superficial,
and surface-like can people be?

1405
01:52:57,970 --> 01:53:00,850
It's not his fault. His masters' fault.

1406
01:53:02,210 --> 01:53:06,130
Black people are criminals,
ponces and prostitutes.

1407
01:53:07,330 --> 01:53:10,010
That is a myth that has been
created about us.

1408
01:53:10,210 --> 01:53:13,610
That was a statement that was made
by one police officer

1409
01:53:13,730 --> 01:53:15,930
who gave evidence during
this trial.

1410
01:53:16,010 --> 01:53:21,410
But I submit to you that
Notting Hill is a very unique community

1411
01:53:22,370 --> 01:53:25,050
where many people
from the West Indies live.

1412
01:53:25,690 --> 01:53:29,410
It is a community that was born
out of a resistance

1413
01:53:29,770 --> 01:53:32,850
to a series of backward attacks from
the police

1414
01:53:33,650 --> 01:53:36,850
that had nothing to do
with the advanced ideas

1415
01:53:37,170 --> 01:53:40,650
and values going around
in the twentieth century.

1416
01:53:42,450 --> 01:53:45,770
It has something that was located
somewhere

1417
01:53:46,250 --> 01:53:51,370
in the stench of British colonialism.
His masters again.

1418
01:53:51,970 --> 01:53:55,850
In defending themselves against
attack a community is born.

1419
01:53:56,170 --> 01:54:00,890
And wherever a community is born it
creates institutions that it needs.

1420
01:54:03,530 --> 01:54:05,090
Frank Crichlow.

1421
01:54:05,850 --> 01:54:10,130
He wasn't conscious of the fact that he
was forming a community restaurant.

1422
01:54:11,330 --> 01:54:15,650
But that sense of community,
born out of struggle in Notting Hill,

1423
01:54:15,810 --> 01:54:19,810
was so profound that there was
no other way for it to be

1424
01:54:19,930 --> 01:54:21,970
but a community restaurant.

1425
01:54:22,930 --> 01:54:25,250
We created the Mangrove.
We shaped it...

1426
01:54:25,690 --> 01:54:28,170
We formed it to satisfy
our needs...

1427
01:54:29,490 --> 01:54:31,450
The Mangrove is ours.
It is ours...

1428
01:54:31,570 --> 01:54:34,890
It's not Frank's. He lost
it to the community, he knows that.

1429
01:54:35,690 --> 01:54:39,970
And so when the Mangrove came
under attack from the police.

1430
01:54:40,130 --> 01:54:44,770
Not once, not twice but three times,
members of the jury. Three times!

1431
01:54:46,210 --> 01:54:47,770
We said no more.

1432
01:54:47,890 --> 01:54:52,610
I have been forced to take a stand
and to take a stand I will.

1433
01:54:56,210 --> 01:54:58,730
They prefer to call a riot
and affray inquiry

1434
01:54:58,810 --> 01:55:01,130
instead of an inquiry
into the police.

1435
01:55:01,250 --> 01:55:04,050
They prefer that,
but let it be, eh?

1436
01:55:06,090 --> 01:55:07,650
It's closing time...

1437
01:55:11,490 --> 01:55:13,010
It's closing time...

1438
01:55:14,650 --> 01:55:18,530
History will take its course,
so frequently a brutal one,

1439
01:55:18,770 --> 01:55:22,770
and we will continue to resist
intelligently and reasonably.

1440
01:55:23,930 --> 01:55:26,450
That is what the demonstration
was about.

1441
01:55:26,690 --> 01:55:32,290
An intelligent and reasonable
resistance to certain concrete facts.

1442
01:56:01,730 --> 01:56:03,170
Members of the jury.

1443
01:56:03,330 --> 01:56:07,650
After what has been an unusually
wearisome case,

1444
01:56:08,530 --> 01:56:10,650
a long eleven weeks in court,

1445
01:56:11,490 --> 01:56:14,970
at last comes the time for you
to consider your verdicts.

1446
01:56:17,210 --> 01:56:20,610
There have been many attacks
on people during this trial.

1447
01:56:20,930 --> 01:56:23,290
The prosecution accused of prejudice.

1448
01:56:23,970 --> 01:56:27,570
And you the jury told that
only two among you,

1449
01:56:28,450 --> 01:56:31,530
the two black members,
are in a position to judge.

1450
01:56:33,250 --> 01:56:37,330
If any of the counsel have overstepped
the bounds of propriety

1451
01:56:37,610 --> 01:56:38,770
in their remarks,

1452
01:56:38,890 --> 01:56:41,650
you should not hold that
against the defendant.

1453
01:56:42,570 --> 01:56:47,810
You have sworn on oaths to try this
case on the evidence you have heard.

1454
01:56:49,810 --> 01:56:52,930
Do not count uniforms,
and most important,

1455
01:56:54,210 --> 01:56:57,490
do not take into account
the colour of anyone's skin.

1456
01:58:53,650 --> 01:58:55,650
Silence.
Be upstanding in court...

1457
01:59:17,250 --> 01:59:20,210
Will the first defendant,
Mr Crichlow, please stand.

1458
01:59:26,210 --> 01:59:28,570
Will the foreman
of the jury please stand.

1459
01:59:30,570 --> 01:59:33,730
Have you reached any verdicts
upon which you are all agreed?

1460
01:59:34,250 --> 01:59:35,770
We have...

1461
01:59:36,210 --> 01:59:38,090
On count one,
the charge of riot,

1462
01:59:38,450 --> 01:59:41,170
how do you find the first defendant,
Mr Crichlow?

1463
01:59:41,610 --> 01:59:43,170
Not guilty...

1464
01:59:44,130 --> 01:59:48,530
On count two, affray, how do you
find the first defendant, Mr Crichlow?

1465
01:59:48,930 --> 01:59:50,490
Not guilty...

1466
01:59:54,970 --> 01:59:57,890
Will the second defendant,
Mr Howe, please stand.

1467
02:00:00,370 --> 02:00:02,210
On count one, the charge of riot,

1468
02:00:02,490 --> 02:00:05,130
how do you find the second defendant,
Mr Howe?

1469
02:00:05,410 --> 02:00:07,010
Not guilty...

1470
02:00:08,370 --> 02:00:13,010
On count two, affray, how do you
find the second defendant, Mr Howe?

1471
02:00:13,610 --> 02:00:15,170
Not guilty...

1472
02:00:17,330 --> 02:00:20,490
Will the third defendant,
Miss Beese, please stand.

1473
02:00:22,970 --> 02:00:24,930
On count one, the charge of riot,

1474
02:00:25,210 --> 02:00:27,930
how do you find the third defendant,
Miss Beese?

1475
02:00:28,010 --> 02:00:29,490
Not guilty...

1476
02:00:29,690 --> 02:00:33,610
On count two, affray, how do you
find the third defendant, Miss Beese?

1477
02:00:34,170 --> 02:00:35,730
Not guilty...

1478
02:00:37,770 --> 02:00:41,210
Will the fourth defendant,
Miss Jones-LeCointe, please stand.

1479
02:00:42,290 --> 02:00:44,210
On count one, the charge of riot,

1480
02:00:44,770 --> 02:00:47,890
how do you find the fourth defendant,
Althea Jones-LeCointe?

1481
02:00:47,970 --> 02:00:49,650
Not guilty...

1482
02:00:49,970 --> 02:00:52,130
On count two, affray, how do you
find the fourth defendant...

1483
02:00:52,210 --> 02:00:57,210
This has been a very unpleasant
experience for everyone concerned.

1484
02:00:58,970 --> 02:01:01,490
Regrettably,
what this trial has shown

1485
02:01:02,330 --> 02:01:06,290
is that there is evidence of racial
hatred on both sides...

1486
02:01:09,210 --> 02:01:11,690
The penalties I am going to impose

1487
02:01:11,850 --> 02:01:14,690
on the four defendants guilty
of the lesser charges,

1488
02:01:16,530 --> 02:01:20,890
are imposed in a spirit

for a further eighteen years.

02:04:01,930 --> 02:04:04,490
In 1989 his name was finally
cleared at the High Court.

He accepted a settlement of L50,000,

1513
02:04:06,530 --> 02:04:08,970
which was the highest sum
ever paid in damages

1514
02:04:09,130 --> 02:04:11,530
by the Metropolitan police
at that time.

1515
02:04:12,690 --> 02:04:16,250
In all Frank Crichlow faced three
trials and was acquitted three times.

1516
02:04:16,330 --> 02:04:19,890
He pressed for an apology from
the police but never received one.

1517
02:04:21,170 --> 02:04:27,330
He closed the Mangrove
for good in 1992.
