This part of the piece looks at the experiences of Hadji Mohamed, who is an Imam. We reported on him yesterday. He lives in #HomefrayStreet in #Cardiff when the rioters came to his house. He clambered up a drainpipe.

"Led by a soldier, several of the crowd on entering a house on #HomfrayStreet were confronted by a party of 4 white girls in night attire. "We r British girls", 1 of them said. "Thank God, there are others", meaning that there were white girls who would not consort w/ black men"

"View of #Cardiff Citizens

Some of the more sober minded citizens of Cardiff says @thetimes consider that the coloured men are not alone to blame for the disturbances, although, at the same time, they deplore the familiar association between white women and negroes...

...which is a provocative cause."
