To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The Woolwich Odeon attack of 1980 was described by a prosecutor at the Old Bailey as a "serious, organised and premeditated riot".

The following year, BNP strategist Tony Lecomber announced there would be "no more meetings, marches, punch-ups" - instead, the intention now was to win seats in town halls. He is best remembered for his fight with Harry the Dog, a notorious football hooligan, which many not only regard as the most bloody fight of the century, but one which occurred after Harry had turned up at his house with a shotgun threatening to blow his head off for injuries sustained during a previous encounter. During the early days, he used to unload mail from the mail boat into Thomas and Percy's mail vans, for them to deliver all over the island. faceless, cameo), Too Many Fire Engines ( faceless, cameo), Santa's Little Engine ( faceless, cameo), Away From the Sea ( faceless, cameo), Gone Fishing ( faceless, cameo), The Afternoon Tea Express ( faceless, cameo), The Smelly Kipper ( faceless, cameo) and No More Mr. While "redskins" and "Sharps" - an acronym for Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice - confronted those with links to the far right, many heterosexual skinheads who were apolitical also adopted fascist garb, says Byrne.For this act, he was convicted of unlawfully fighting and making an affray, and given a suspended sentence. The formation of AFA in 1985 resulted in increasingly bloody stand-offs between anti-fascists and the far right. Pictures of him storming the stage where singer Hank Wangford was performing appeared in national newspapers; although Crane was clearly identifiable, no action was taken.

So when Nicky Crane was spotted within the vicinity of the march in Kilburn, a traditionally Irish enclave of north-west London, in January 1990, it was assumed he had trouble in mind. As Big Mickey was silent for a long time, mainly because Cranky has "never said a single word to him", very little is known about him (casting aside his known personality from TUGS), although it can be assumed that he is not the best at communicating, as Salty put it.In the aftermath of a violent march through racially mixed Lewisham in 1977, much of the UK's extreme right had concluded the path to power lay in controlling the streets and destabilising the multicultural society rather than through the ballot box.

But now they were, and Crane must have realised he would no longer be welcome in much of gay London. As leader of Britain's far right, this unpleasant man was at the heart of much of the violence that was dished out on people of colour and other ethnic groups throughout the 1970's and early 1980's. Big Mickey is the third character to have been given a face after debuting without one, the first two being Butch and Henrietta. Big Mickey once had to unload a boiler from a ship, but he accidentally swung it and knocked Edward off the tracks onto his side. The party would try to rebrand itself as respectable and peaceful - a strategy continued, with varying success, under the leadership of Nick Griffin.The magazine revealed it had received a Christmas card from him during his time on the Isle of Wight in which he proclaimed his continued allegiance to "the British Movement tradition" - that is, violence. During the early days, he used to unload mail from the mail boat into Percy's mail vans to deliver all over the Island of Sodor. In 1993, Crane was dead, Donaldson died in a car crash and the British National Party (BNP) won its first council seat in Millwall, east London.
