    FFS. The power of ignorance.

    The original Skinheads were not a racist group. They're music was heavily influences by Jamaican and Reggae cultures which gave rise to Ska and then eventually 2 tone where mixed race multiculturism was the norm.

    In fact your Ben Sherman, Hrrington, Half mast Levi, Doc Marten wearing, braces sporting Skin is probably too busy working on a complicated moonstomp, to give a rats a55 about racism.

    Many British Skinhead / Seuedehead gangs were multiracial.

    The concept of the Neo Nazi, Right Wing skinhead derives mainly from The USA, Australia and Eastern Europe.

    Hey Mark, great post re: racism issue however, my memories of skinhead gangs in and around cheshire was they were not (only) racist as they discriminated against everybody!

    Lest we forget it was Harrington wearing, Doc Marten stomping ( KD's from Manchester as well, remember them?) short haired chaps who used to terrorise in general and kick the sh it out of peeps like me who dared to have collar length hair....hair length's not an issue...

    ps...True story...me and a mate we once cornered by a group of said gentleman, 10-12 and the ring leader was flicking my mate's hair saying " What do you think you are?"

    My mate said " Me? I'm just a C U Next Tuesday....."

    Said short haired chappie walked away muttering " You just watch it then! "...phew!

    I'm fully aware about the origins of Skinhead culture in this country,that's why it's been posted here in the 'Humour' thread and not in the serious 'Racism' thread.

    If your employer insists under covid-19 regulations, that you wear a face visor over your glasses,
    then you have a potential claim for condensation ;)
