  16. A £26,000 grant from Great Western #Railway (GWR) has enabled Education and Skills Development Group (ESDEG) to deliver inclusive STEM clubs in #Southall, inspiring interest in technology and engineering among underrepresented pupils. Held at North and Hambrough Primary Schools during the 2024/25 academic year, the clubs have supported around 80 students through hands-on activities in design, 3D printing, coding, and robotics. Mentors include an inventor, a PhD student, and university undergraduates. Funded by GWR’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund, the initiative addresses the UK’s STEM skills gap and promotes educational equity. Mentor Ahmed Hadhoud said the project is igniting lifelong passions and helping students consider careers in technology and engineering. GWR’s Emma Morris highlighted the programme’s lasting impact, shaping future innovators and contributing to communities through education.

  17. NEO-NAZIS ACCUSED IN LONDON RIOTS

    July 5, 1981
    New York Times

    [...] "The trouble apparently began when two busloads of #skinheads arrived in #Southall, not far from Heathrow Airport, for a rock concert given by a skinhead group in the Hambrough pub.

    "Southall has a large #Indian and #Pakistani population, and the skinheads have provided many recruits for the #whitesupremacist #NationalFront organization.

    "Many Britons were shocked today as they watched television, waiting for the start of the men's Wimbledon tennis final, to see film of a pitched battle in the London streets, with fire engines and police vans burning along with buildings.

    "The police said they had no evidence that the white youths were members of the National Front, a small extremist group that has been accused of #neonazism but local officials said they were sure that the front was involved.

    "'The skinheads were wearing National Front gear, #swastikas everywhere, and National Front written on their jackets,' said a spokesman for the Southall Youth Association. 'They sheltered behind the police barricades and threw stones at the crowd. Instead of arresting them, the police just pushed them back. It's not surprising people started to retaliate."

  20. CW: CW - Mention of violence and racism

    The British Asians who fought #fascism in the seventies

    #BlairPeach’s death 40 years ago followed the killing of a schoolboy – two murders that ignited an #AntiRacist struggle.

    By Gouri Sharma
    23 Apr 2019

    London, United Kingdom – "On a sunny Saturday in June 1976, teenager Suresh Grover was in Southall chatting with a friend outside the Dominion Cinema when he noticed a police officer standing next to a pool of blood.

    "'I asked him, ‘Did somebody die there?' Grover told Al Jazeera. 'And he turned to me and said ‘It’s just Indian blood’. He was very rude and left the scene soon after. I was shocked – this was an officer saying it was just Indian blood and not of equal worth.'

    "The blood had flowed from the body of #GurdipSinghChaggar.

    "The 18-year-old student was killed the night before in a racist attack in the west #London district, which had recently become home to a large #SouthAsian population, particularly from India’s northern #Punjab state.

    "Grover, now 62, said: 'The next day we went to the police station, surrounded it, made speeches and #Southall came to a standstill. By the end of the afternoon around 5,000 people – men, women, #Asians, #AfroCaribbeans – had gathered in a show of #unity, #solidarity and defiance. It was the first time this sort of protest had happened and it had a profound impact on Southall. That day, the #SouthallYouthMovement was born.”
