Not just leave the hall, leave our country … I don’t want you here, in the room or in my country. Listen to me, man! I think we should send them all back. Stop Britain from becoming a black colony. Get the foreigners out. Get the wogs out. Get the coons out. Keep Britain white”

Genuine piece of shit
He’s literally why Rock against Racism formed. Because he went on a racist tirade in the 70s.
