Abstract
Abstract Margaret Thatcher remarked that there was ‘no alternative’ to her reforming agenda in the 1980s. But London in that decade put the lie to that remark: there was an alternative, one that lay in the city itself. London, 1984: Conflict and Change in the Radical City is a history of a city poised between two futures: one shaped by the neoliberalism of the Conservative government, one shaped by a resurgent social democracy out of County Hall in the form of a Labour Greater London Council and the efforts of many community organizations, groups, and individuals on the ground. The book explores that conflict through an exploration of one year—1984—and the stories of a series of moments, organizations, and artefacts. These include a protest on the Thames against the development of the Docklands, a raid on a gay bookshop, racial violence on an East End estate, efforts to make the city more equal for racial minorities, women, and gay and lesbian people, a major anti-apartheid demonstration, and tensions between the police and the Black community that led to an explosion of violence. London, 1984 is a focused account of a critical year in the history of a city.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
