Saturday saw the 13th annual United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC) march in protest at deaths in police custody and in secure psychiatric hospitals. The list of deaths in custody gets longer, and now stands at more than 3,100. The police killing of Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old father of four in Tottenham, which triggered August’s riots, brought many to the demonstration.

Participants in the demonstration pointed to the connection between police brutality and social conditions. Jarrett pointed to how working class youth are written off very early on, in their school years. “They exclude a child [from school] in Tottenham, that’s it. They exclude a child in [more affluent] St John’s Wood, they find another school.”
