We can't go into the locals anymore. They're full up with noisy foreigners and we don't like it. >> We haven't got a place left where we the English people can go and enjoy ourselves in this town. >> I want to ride [music] around. But they don't mind. White [music] people go to school.

After going through two world wars, we should at least have the dignity of being allowed to live with our own kind. >> Room with no jobs and our poor lads are fighting in Ireland while our own country is being invaded. [music] >> I want to ride. >> I mean, the situation we've got now is

We've got enough here. We've got enough
