This afternoon I joined Folajimi’s family to remember Jimi and his selfless bravery which sadly cost him his life 3yrs ago.

I spoke about the fact that far too often young people are demonised as trouble makers, but Jimi was a hero.
His family want to establish Folajimi Day.

“The police … protected them and unleashed violence on us” our contributor Pritpal recollects the moment the National Front arrived at #Southall Town Hall on the day of the protest #Defiance @channel4 a seminal chapter in British history

Blair Peach was killed 45 years ago by an officer of the Met Police. His legacy lives on in the name of a local primary school and the memories of Punjabis in London

Southall will never forget you

And now, thanks to Channel 4 #Defiance doc, many more know of your sacrifice 🙏🏽

I remember being at a relatives’ house and a brick was thrown through the windows. My cousins chased home from the football by skinheads. The daily name calling. It sort of stays with you for life

Saw all 3 eps. It was bitter memory, communal therapy and reclaimed history. Hope #Defiance team know by the outpouring of emotions on here what an overdue landmark series this is. Essential viewing. Keep telling the untold stories. shaminder nahal Rajesh Thind Riz Ahmed ✊🏾

Make sure to watch Channel 4 tonight at 9pm. Over the next 3 nights, #Defiance will show the story of British South Asians and the fight against the far right between 1976 and 1981.

This is our story, and it deserves to be watched and heard
