A Yesterday's Witness special
On Thursday 31 July 1919, nearly one half of the Liverpool Police Force - the Merseyside 'Scuffers' - went on strike. For two nights over the August Bank Holiday, Liverpool city centre was virtually without a police force. The mob left the slums and set out on a looting spree. The Riot Act was read, the army sent for and a battleship and two destroyers despatched to the Mersey.
Liverpool men and women, who were children in 1919, still remember that weekend and some of the police strikers recall the strike - and after.

(Tomorrow 'Birth Control in the 20s' at 5.40 pm)
