I have just seen the most extraordinary thing
Call me naive
For a white middle class
middle aged man
like me
a
law abiding citizen
a payer
£90 a month of council tax
to maintain my borough
and its police
A young black guy
out with his friend
being ordered
by an officer
to drop his pants
in a London street
A stop and search in Grange Road,
Southwark,
1604
check the sheet
as I walk home
from the pub
The lads look like children
15 as written
and local to the area
polite and smart
and told me they were out
bored
after an Easter Sunday
at home
with mum
They are from Sierra Leone
Here in our town
my free town
some three years
on
The police
they say
came by
in a van
Pulled over
got out
Pockets were searched
PNC is checked
nothing known
Under pants inspected
(Times one)
Nothing found
And why
because terrorism trumps
Magna Carta?
Not so as
the docket says
This is a high crime area
My arse
Mr Swift
PC
If so
stop me
We have words for these kids
roundabouts
here
we call them
citizens
and sons
And the superintendent
in whose name it is done
at home
having Sunday roast
no doubt
Great job
my uniformed friends
Two more young black men
marginalised
and lost
And the funniest part
on a day
when
some remember
another wrongly accused
and hung
close to Gethsemane
You get a form 5090 (X)
when you are abused
and humiliated
like this
One lad puts it back
on the railings
and was told
allegedly
(I’m pleased to acknowledge the police have rights too)
he’d be arrested for littering
if he didn’t
pick it up
So the cop screwed it up
and throw it
into his van
This much
I saw
and I accuse
By Christ
I do

En la antigua avenida del general franco y actual avenida de carabanchel alto, casi esquina con la calle guitarra, bueno, esquina por aquellos entonces, estaba el cine coral, un auténtico cine de barrio como dios manda, solo hay que echar un vistazo a la programación de Noviembre de 1982 para darse cuenta. Cuantas tardes pasadas con los amigos allí...

Club Okay mit neuem Leiter
An diesem Wochenende bekommt der "Club Okay" einen neuen Clubleiter. Hans-Michael Tappen wird von Wolfgang Hegner abgelöst. Hans-Michael, der den Club über ein Jahr leitete, hat durch seine Ideen und uneigennützige Initiative die Discothek zu einem beliebten Versammlungsort für die Jugend gemacht. Über 2000 Mitglieder sind eine stolze Bilanz. Auch die Anschaffung einer neuen Verstärkeranlage und der Wiederaufbau nach dem Einbruch zu Neujahr sind auf seine Enegie zurückzuführen. Sine lustigen Einfälle, wie die Wahl von "Miss und Mister Club Okay" und die Fahrt zum Musical Hair, sicherten ihm die Sympathie der jungen Gäste. Wolfgang Hegner aber wird sich als geeigneter Nachfolger erweisen.

Club Okay with new manager
This weekend, Club Okay will have a new club manager. Hans-Michael Tappen will be replaced by Wolfgang Hegner. Hans-Michael, who managed the club for over a year, turned the discotheque into a popular meeting place for young people thanks to his ideas and selfless initiative. Over 2,000 members is an impressive achievement. The purchase of a new amplifier system and the reconstruction after the break-in on New Year's Eve are also thanks to his energy. His fun ideas, such as the election of “Miss and Mister Club Okay” and the trip to the musical Hair, ensured him the sympathy of the young guests. Wolfgang Hegner, however, will prove to be a suitable successor.
