I saw those Poll tax riots first hand. I was invited to a birthday party that day, at a pub near Tottenham court Rd, and as I arrived I had to step out in the previous tube station as the closest one was shut because of the protests. I then started to walk to that pub but I couldn't imagine what I was getting into. Suddenly I realized I was in the middle of the riot, I saw cars burning and people yelling, police was there against some people, then one of those technology shop windows got crushed an a big lot of people rushed into the shop to take every Tv set, walkman, camera (not even digital by then), casio watch, Cd player...and they grab those things and took them just like that,. I was not really conscious of what I was witnessing, I felt as if I was watching a film, like if I was not there. When I finally arrived to the pub, the door was closed, a man was partly opening the door and asked why I was going there , when I said I was going to Maria's birthday party I didn't have any problem to let me in. My friend was really worried waiting for me. They closed the door. I remember "Nothing compares to you" being played and all the couples dancing like if nothing was happening a few meters away. What an strange experience. Once the party was over and we went outside, the riots were over but people were still getting into the shop windows and stealing whatever was left behind.
