Why we can not ignore 77 .......................These Riots were the Effect of Specific Causes in Yorkshire
More than 300 police officers were hurt during this riot. There were 297 arrests in total; 187 people were charged with riot, 45 with violent disorder and 200 jail sentences totalling 604 years were handed down. The last rioter was sentenced six-and-a-half years after the events; the number of convictions for riot was unprecedented in English legal history. The estimated damage was put at £7 million. The government subsequently commissioned the Cantle report which made 67 recommendations.
In 2006 Channel 4 produced a TV fictional drama based loosely on the riots from the perspective of an Asian family. The drama excluded real life events at Manningham Labour Club.
