Only just seen that it was 30 years ago yesterday. Quick search and I can't see it posted so apologies if I missed it on here.

Yes, a real tragedy, and on many levels things are no better now than then. |  | | |

The other sad thing was the memorial plaque they put up was vandalised on more than one occasion, they even had to install a CCTV camera to help monitor/protect it |  | | |

Living myself in more central south London at the time, but playing football regularly in Eltham, I always felt that it was one of the more racist areas of London, having as it did at the time an overwhelmingly white population. | | | |

And it was later revealed (at the Spycops inquiry) that members of SL's family were spied on by undercover police officers. |  |

My lasting memory of the whole case was those smug scumbags turning up at court, threatening the protesters and reporters. I wished them a painful death then and I stand by it today. [Post edited 23 Apr 2023 18:10]

I bought a Guardian to read on the train yesterday for the first time in years. His Dad wrote very eloquently in it.
I'd forgotten Stephen was buried in Jamaica and his Dad lives out there, in the first instance to avoid the grave being vandalised and the second as it is too painful to remain in the UK.
His bitterness towards the Met and the refusal to accept institutional were put across very well. It's a bit of a double-edged sword that Stephen's story is a go to in RE and PSHE lessons because it so shocking and the lessons so clear. |  |
