Rafi Hassar, an 18-year-old student, has been found after being brutally whipped and left for dead. Tony and Diane find flyers advertising a ‘Rock Against Racism’ concert next to him. Jo and Terry suspect this has been a racist attack and a reaction to the impending concert; ironically designed for greater racial harmony.
The Bulldogs of Patriotism, a neo-Nazi group have been causing trouble in Sun Hill and have just been released after being charged with causing an affray. They’re planning to disrupt the anti racism concert later on tonight. At St Hugh’s doctor’s confirm Rafi was tied up and whipped.
Elsewhere Stone and Diane investigate a break-in at the constituency office of Paul Sagger, MP for The Tolerance Party and find, weirdly, nothing had been stolen. Sagger will be a VIP speaker at the ‘Rock Against Racism’ concert, but before the event, inflames the local undercurrent of racial unrest.
