Timeline; 1981

After the initial expansion in 1973, the European Union allows Greece to join, taking the total to 10 members. A further expansion occurs in 1986.

As part of the race relations problems dating back to 1959 between the metropolitan police and the black community, the over-use of what became known as the "sus" law, with too many groundless stop and searches resulted in riots in Toxteth, Brixton. There were more riots in 1985.

There have been some books and Movies published this year.
