Differene being... ?
Oh god, telling it with any viewpoint at all is a bad idea. Idiots. It only makes one side hate the other more.

Well the titled in itself indicates bias, so if you were to watch it you would have to expect it. It'd be interesting to see if they tell the tale from the other side in a different documentary.

Well I think I can probably tell you what their "point of view" will reflect:
- Asian community in Bradford finally runs out of patient with neo-nazi scumbag cunts being allowed to march on their city and incite hatred.
- Asian community explodes and riots
- Police gives those they arrest absurdly high jail sentences while and neo-nazi scumbag cunts succeed in stirring up shit and dividing communities
I happen to agree with the above interpretation of the events.

I know it was the culmination of a long campaign of hatred by the far right and widespread prejudice that was largely ignored by the police.
I don't think it was the consequence of a single attempted march by the nazi boys. There was a long history to it.

But at the same time, it's impossible to present any type of information, qualitative or quantitative without being biased in some way. Everything is down to interpretation, so even if we only got the Asian's viewpoint, the person recording their stories could easily edit them and turn it against the Asian community... Or in favour.

And that shows just how little you understand about these riots.
It'll be another apologist bullshit-a-thon for the criminal minority in the Asian community, trying to show that the tiny minority of Asian people who committed these terrible acts were actually justified.
After all, a few BNP nutcases justifies burning down a Labour club filled with nearly 100 people, and it justifies looting, and it justifies attacking young white women.
The Asians who did the riots should be condemned as the vile scum that they are, not apologised for with the bogeyman that the irrelevant BNP has become. These vile scummy rioters (and even that isn't strong enough) have set back race relations in Bradford by 20 years, and they have nobody to blame but themselves.
ETA: "the sentencing of a generation of young men"? Fuck off, the BNP were irrelevant in this city until they destroyed it for the second time in ten years, and then got funding to rebuild it for the second time in ten years. The Asians repsonsible for the Bradford riots got away with it scot-free because everyone bought into the bullshit of the "matrix of racial fear", which was known by most people in the city to be a crock of shit. The BNP were irrelevant and hated in Bradford before those riots; now they have three councillors in the city. I think that says something about the cause and effect of these riots: the BNP were seen as the twats that they are until the rioters decided to just go off and prove everything that the BNP says about them, and sadly drag the rest of the Asian community along with them.

Sounds in-line with my understanding of what happened.
