Years later 40 years later we stand in the new revelations that a man made a confession which he allegedly recanted , 12 years before the Stephen Lawrence tragedy , there was the New Cross fire , so the mindset of living Daily with this racist mindset was entrenched , If there was a confession after 40 alleged taped interviews , why did he recant that statement ? What happened to that line of enquiry ?
When the UK Royal family did not hire people of Color till about the 1960s The leading families should have started hiring Black people to instill in white people respect for Black people. The National front is still alive and well within the UK. This story stated back in the 1970s way before the Stephen Lawrence tragedy.

To watch helplessly the struggles, the lived nightmares of siblings and friends who survived for years without any proferred counselling for their trauma...😭 Yeah I cry still 41 years later, I scream I curse and I wail for this wound cannot heal...💔
It wasn't a confession. Michael Smithyman claimed ten years later that when he was fourteen, he and a friend tried to gatecrash the party, that they were refused entry and that his _friend_ started the fire for spite. The problem is that directly contradicts the forensic evidence showing the fire was started _inside the house._ How could he have started the fire from inside the house if they weren't let in in the first place? Smithyman told this story while he was inside for killing his pregnant girlfriend, so it's far more likely to me that this walking shitbag was fishing for a reduced sentence for volunteering 'information.'

I am ashamed I was not even aware this had happened, I don`t remember ever hearing of it, why...I can`t say, but I am so very sorry, firstly that this terrible fire happened and equally for the heartless and hapless way it was investigated and the total lack of respect and care shown to the bereaved families and those who lived with the harrowing effects of witnessing it. Such a waste of young lives and still no one held accountable for mass murder, because that is exactly what it was.
This is not what happened, by the way. We know exactly how the fire started, it was from within the house and it was an armchair in the front room. This might not have been a problem except for the fact that somebody had dropped nail varnish on the carpet and, presumably in a panic, tried to use paint thinner to clean it up so the whole front room went up like a torch. The rumour of someone throwing a Molovov was discounted by two separate forensic examinations.

I'm an American. I was listening to Eddy Grant Electric Avenue. I remember it had something to do with the Brixton Riots of 1981. So here is me jumping down the rabbit hole.
Last Brixton riot was black racist tugs vs. innocent white citizenship. It was more evident than the last four before beside no one wanted to admit it. Not all whites mugged, beaten and had to leave Brixton.....neither any tabloids or BBC. What a wonderful life. I still don't understand what we have done to deserve accusations plus covering up of so many crimes done by those types of gangs. Who knows....knows..........😢
1981 is not long ago, to me. I was startled, expecting it to proceed American race upheavals. Like America, no one charged. Oh, geez....Yes, I'm a Yank.
Judith, it was caused by an armchair being set alight in the house, either accidentally or purposefully by one / some of the party goers. No one was charged because no one would come forward. Ive shown the result of the coroners inquest in a separate post, no outside fire-bomb by anyone of any race. A tragic accident, and I'm sure whoever started it didn't anticipate or want it to end that way. Always worth looking behind the headlines.
I was an officer in the Met when this happened and had mates who were in the investigation for ages. They knew from the start that the fire had been started from inside the premises, but the politics of the time had to find a racist slant.
@@myutuber100why not ask questions instead of jumping on the bandwagon wagon with no evidence. Could this fire have been started from the inside? Are there activists who will use a tragedy for their advantage?
I can clearly remember the BBC Radio 1 news that morning. The news reader said "A spokesman from the Fire Brigade said that the fire was caused by a petrol bomb".
Indeed, and they should be respected by the truth of this awful disaster, not by the national broadcaster omitting evidence which does not suit their political agenda.

If this had been started deliberately someone would have turned the culprit in by now after 40 years. Some flammable liquid was spilt on the carpet in the living room, it started to burn, someone panicked and threw a bucket of water on it. We should all listen to fire prevention advice.
@@Rhythm973 No, they haven't.

This is what happened. Some girls spilt nail polish on the carpet, tried to remove it with paint thinner, an armchair caught fire and the front room went up like a torch. That's it. Whether it was accidental or deliberate, either no-one knows or will say, but it was someone inside the house.

Hmmm, something is fishy about the mother. Apparently she used to physically abuse her daughter (Dawn Ruddock) Both Amza Ruddock and her husband and called her N*ggers and used to abuse her. She apparently got kicked out at 16 so wasn’t apart of the family. In the uprising documentary - there was not enough outcry from her when she explains how she reacted when she first discovered the fire. Most parents would have screamed for their children, that’s the first thing. But she didn’t. Hmmm, quite strange. Their is also a mini clip I found online of her being interviewed (in 2004) because people were accusing her of knowing more than she let on. That’s just my views…

Someone who spilled nail varnish on the carpet tried to remove it with paint thinner, then after an armchair caught fire, the whole front room went up like a torch. That's exactly what happened. As to who or why, it may have been an accident, it may have been deliberate, but it was someone inside the house who never came forward, maybe among the perished.

It had nothing to do with racism. Kids had a party and a fire started, most likely by one of the kids themselves. It was a tragedy but this was not racism.
@@StrobeSteppa Im not the one who made the claim. If individuals think it was started by some racists they need to prove that. Ppl even accused police of racism for not finding a culprit. How could they? They werent there at the time. There was no evidence to link anyone to it. A fire started on a chair by some acetone (prob from nail polish remover) and a cigeratte. Sorry, but the ppl screaming racism as fact in either case are ridiculous. And its the same old story. Same with The Peckham Thief. This ish is getting stale.
@@StrobeSteppa and apparently one of the victims said he didnt think it was a racist attack. Maybe research that as he was there. Its like ppl rioting over George Floyd being racist when it wasnt and the Floyd riots ended up getting hundreds of black people killed. That one was in America but still we have adopted much of their nonsense activism. The Mark Duggan riots in UK saw black and brown business and property destroyed. Activists are idiotic. The ones in this case even threatened to physically hurt police if they didnt find culprits. Its not on.
Apparently, you can since this is almost entirely fiction. Two separate forensic investigations concluded that the fire started inside the house when an armchair caught, maybe deliberate, maybe a dropped cigarette, either no-one knows or will say. This might not have been too much of a problem except that someone had spilt nail varnish on the carpet and tried to clean it up with paint thinner. As a result, the front room went up like a torch. As to who or how the fire started, nobody has ever come forward, maybe because they really don't know, maybe they won't say or maybe they perished in he fire. Either way, this is a disgraceful lie manipulating a horrible tragedy and using dead children to reinforce a race-baiting narrative. It makes me sick.

As to who or how the fire started, nobody has ever come forward, maybe because they really don't know, maybe they won't say or maybe they perished in he fire. Either way, this is a disgraceful lie manipulating a horrible tragedy and using dead children to reinforce a race-baiting narrative. It makes me sick.
You really can't.
Downton Abby comes to my made when Blacks want to see Black characters in this series but blacks were invisible in England during that time period. I am keep hearing, racism doesn't exit in the United Kingdom as it does in the United States.
there were virtually NO blacks in the UK then
I remember this yet they say racism doesn't exist...
Who is they?
@@Ukbrummie The R__al, The gov
Many thanks!
Yes, I am still interested
Of course racism still exists but this incident had nothing to do with racism. WAKE UP!
More anger , more hatred . The bbc love to report this horror . To remind us of our division and separation . We must love each other for we are all equal regardless of colour , status , wealth or position . Let’s move forward together in love and stop watching the bbc
Especially when the implication of a white fire bomber is the opposite of actual events as the fire started inside the party according to forensic review.
Yeah, right, let's forget it all. So one day someone will give an answer like the one before mine, and it will look all right...
@@craigk621 In Italy we had policemen torturing students, and then reporting they were being attacked. We know how it works in this country. But still police have been sentenced guilty, who knows why...
@@sabrinatirabassi3529 In the Azzuri corruption rules no ?

BBC YOU SHOULD BE VERY ASHAMED, STOP THE DIVISION, WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!
What a stupid comment! The BBC are merely the propaganda arm of the corp orate entities that run this cuntry!
Until the cognitive dissonance and white fragility of the exposed racist and racism of this country is fully exposed and acknowledged by the State, the agenda of division will continue...

An 11 year old, at a party at 5:30am.... Great parenting.
Has it occurred to you that his parents were present? People love to talk for the sake of it!

Race baiting...
Police don’t lie
You're joking right?
😂
Thay need to get the horrible that done this it's so wrong thay are still out there
It was likely an accident. The fire was caused inside when a chair caught on fire on acetone that had been used to remove nail polish prob a cigeratte. It seems to have been a horroble accident.
Innocent white people shall not be blamed for an accident anymore. Stop pushing this madness
