His reply in the comments, describing Hackney Citizen as "Marxist", is amazing.

The right think anyone who isn't a tory/racist is a Marxist .

I think most sensible Tories wouldn't say it out loud though... in Hackney the Conservatives have been pretty desperate for candidates for years as far as I know.

I hadn't read the comments what a special guy.

Sounds just your kind of thing, marty21!

'Baanq Ltd already runs one “immersive molecular cocktail bar” out of a camper van in Hackney Road named ABQ, and wants to open another off the top of Mare Street, in Bohemia Place.

Events at the bar, inspired by the crystal meth lab in the hit TV show, are based around the “mixing and infusing of drinks in innovative ways”."

Ron Hope (pictured 30-odd years later), later Inspector Ron Hope, can be seen in photographs of the Colin Roach protests in 1983 pretending to be one of the demonstrators. He may have served alongside Spence.​

Thank you that's very interesting - and something that should be more widely known I think. Are there any photos from the protests with him in available online? (or other sources?)

Moved into a mate's place in London Fields in July 1993 , in January 1994 moved in with Mrs21 who had just got a Housing Association place in Stoke Newington, then moved on to Clapton in 1997.

The evidence in question was part of a public (and local) exhibition organised by the Late Lester Lewis of Hackney Black Peoples Association some years ago. Former Metropolitan Police officer, Ron Hope, was clearly shown.

Those who inherited custody of Hackney Black Peoples Association's materials will be able to assist you, if former Metropolitan Police officer, Ron Hope, is for some reason unable to assist researchers into the topic.

Who inherited it - or were the documents, as archivists say, dispersed?

I didn't have a clue about it being on until the day, it was a great surprise! It was the kind of thing that doesn't hardly ever happen in london any more, a little community party, no corporate sponsership, no police, 4 yr olds up to 80 yr olds all enjoying it.

Sorry to hear about yr bike though.
