Abstract
The problems in Hackney were a gift for-far right involvement, but for the most part this did not occur except in isolated wards, and skinheads and others marching with Union flags demanding the return of law must have seemed inappropriate to an area where black and white youngsters had sometimes acted in unison and where some of the white youngsters were themselves skinheads. Nevertheless, this did not stop ultra-racist anti-Semites distributing hate literature around the borough.
