A colour video of a 1991 Outrage Protest next to St James Park underground, against Tory MP, Kenneth Baker and the anti-gay laws and discrimination on the Isle of Man. A crowd of Outrage members stand behind a barrier guarded by police, they chant “Isle of Man! Isle of Shame! Isle of Death!” and “Hey ho ho, Kenneth Bakers got to go.” The footage is shaky and out of focus. The camera cuts to a mid shot of a line of Outrage members holding placards, the camera zooms in to reveal phrases such as “Gays die as Baker Dithers.” People wave placards and pictures are taken by the press.
