The 1985 riots are not so well known as the 81 riots. Partly as that was a really grim time. At least with 81 riots there was a feeling afterward that things would change for better. I think the 1985 riot was the one that people would rather forget. It didnt lead to any positive changes.
By 1985 Thatcherism had struck home. Here is Guardian piece that gives context for the riots across the country.
