Inequitably Correct. Since the 1958 race riots in Notting Hill and later in the port city of Middlesbrough, violence has grown rare, but it has been replaced by a more finicky discrimination.

...tells the story of the illegitimate teen-aged daughter (Rita Tushingham) of a village idiot and a good-time shirley (Dora Bryan). Father is long since na poo; mother and daughter drift through dreary digs in Manchester, flying by night when the rent comes round. Mother sops it up all night, sleeps it off all day, rather likes her daughter when she's nothing worse to do. The girl, given a wit too many and a skin too few, is so hungry for affection that she bites her mother's head off 30 times a day. Grows back...
