I have been looking through newspaper archives for the 1970s.
While I was looking for something else (articles about lead piping), I did come across a LOT of articles about skinhead gangs attacking black and Asian people.
The only ones that appeared in my search were the ones where they were armed with lead pipes.
Perhaps the rage has always been there.
The media loves rage-bait. Unfortunately people react more to things that make them angry.
