Thirty years ago, it was not uncommon to encounter white, middle-class suburban and provincial teenagers wearing badges that proclaimed "SMASH THE SPG". The primary spark for their opposition to the Metropolitan Police's Special Patrol Group and its role in policing London's immigrant communities came from the work of Linton Kwesi Johnson. When the SPG was eventually disbanded in 1986, it was under a deluge of public condemnation. Tomorrow evening, Johnson performs at the Barbican as part of The Harder They Come, a season featuring stage and screen presentations of the classic Jamaican film of the same name. But the concert is also, in part, a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Dread Beat an' Blood, and might indicate something of an accommodation between the revolutionary poet and the British cultural establishment.
