Passed on by a mate - this was aired again on BBC Wales this week. A very well researched piece by Huw Edwards on the circumstances involving 2 deaths and a further 4 in the riots that followed.

Very well done - and of interest for those who have a craving for social and TU history. Short life left though .....
