The summer of 1981. A Levels were over, school was over, I was decompressing at home, watching England and Ian Botham beat the pants off the Aussies at cricket on TV, reading The Thorn Birds and trying to avoid all the Royal Wedding hype, whilst hoping my exam results would be good enough to get me out of Eastwood and off to college in London.
Meanwhile there was mass unemployment, rioting in Brixton, Handsworth and Toxteth, and a general feeling of unrest in the country.
This song pretty much summed it up. People getting angry.
I got 3 B’s and left Eastwood for London in September.
