THE COUNTRY ISSUE IS OUT NOW!

LETTER FROM BRITAIN

By Friday morning, July 3rd, UB40’s second album Present Arms was number one; by Friday night Southall was on fire. “We’re closer to the West Indians than ever. The fascists are attacking black people. In Brixton they are West Indians, in Southall they’re Asians, but there is no difference anymore.”

October 1, 1981
