so many fights over some minor differences in the end (I put boneheads to the side obviously, that's another problem...). Personally, when I would play gigs, it was sometimes a pain in the ass when a fight would end a concert.

I was a 1960s Skinhead I was part of the Hounslow Mob under Derick Ferron, we used to hangout at Hounslow Bolling Alley,we used to go the Boathouse dancehall our main rivals back then were in Twickenham, but that was a long long time ago and then I ended up as a Hippy after getting into too many gang fights.

Haven't watched this yet but I don't like the image you chose to portray skinheads. Maybe you thought you would get more clicks with that. I think if you used the classic black and white hand shake image or a diverse ethnic background photo of skinhead's, that would intrigue the interest of people not familiar with the real skinhead culture and would represent the skinhead movement better. "What?? A black skinhead what is this shenanigans?" Click, haha
I don't like Skrewdriver but the people who commented here do, the video doesn't speak of any Nationalist Skinhead bands but there was definitely an abundance of them.
Screwdriver were a punk band from Blackpool as a kid I used to see them at stanley park practicing with a generator in Blackpool didn’t know who they were until my mate bought their 1st single don’t think that they were racist band then that was 1977 🎸🥁they were good then then they started doing that white noise shit.Back with a bang

mummyd ~ Yeah, Anyone that was a Skinhead in the early 1980’s would have Loved SKREWDRIVER. Boots & Braces is Still one of my favourite Tracks to Date. Just Great Patriotic Skinhead Music. it Just had a Really Good Punch Skinhead Style. Along with the growth of Punk in the 1977/ 1978 era , there had also been a steady increase in Racial Violence. The Mainstream Media blamed this on the violent youth & the violent music (Punk/Oi!) That they were listening to. Of course the fact that every major city & town was now overrun with immigrants had nothing to do with it whatsoever. & the fact that most of the Punk Bands at that time were Left Wing Especially The Clash & the Tom Robinson Band, Also didn’t seem to matter as the media launched it’s very own Cure. A Musical umbrella movement called “ROCK AGAINST RACISM” Working alongside the GLC the R.A.R Movement organised quite a few festivals in & around London. in Response to all this the Right Wing Launched it’s very own musical umbrella movement = ROCK AGAINST COMMUNISM. & Started to organise their own shows & mini festivals. at that time following on from the Southall Race Riots where Hundreds of Asians armed with petrol bombs attacked the Hanborough Tavern . After the 4-Skins had been playing. Skinhead Bands weren’t really welcome anywhere & so the R.A.C was Just what the scene needed. A Self Financed & Self Motivated underground Scene that attracted over 500 + people to each gig simply by word of mouth. The New Breed Had Arrived ~ THE OVALTINEES, PETER & THE WOLF, THE DIEHARDS, LONDON BRANCH, BRUTAL ATTACK, SKREWDRIVER, A.B.H, NO REMORSE, Were the first Bands to Play under the Rock Against Communism Banner. These Bands entertained us but only a couple of them gained any real notoriety.
can we please stop saying that skinheads are nazis? those are boneheads, skinheads are meant to be anti racist and leftists. as you say they showed solidarity towards the working class.
No, un skin es un skin ,ser " bonehead ",Sharp o Red Skin,fue un error, al principio algunos skins eran solo patriotas y ya esta,y todos los skins no tienen porque pensar igual,los skins no son obejas,derecho a pensar diferente ,sin que te conviertas en un enemigo por ello.
