The Wars Of Rosie
Hard knocks, endurance, and the 'George Davis Is Innocent' campaign. Rose Dean, the ex-wife of George Davis, gives her personal account of the epochal moment when a group of working-class East Enders took their fight to the streets. Powered by a sense of moral outrage, Rose and her cohorts pursued a strategy of ever more extreme, headline-grabbing publicity stunts - until the day in May 1976, when the campaign succeeded in overturning George' conviction and changing the law on suspect ID. But within less than 18 months, George Davis shocked all of his supporters when he was caught red handed in a raid on the bank of Cyprus.
