Skin'ead, skin'ead on the wall
What's it like to 'ave no 'air
Two black eyes and a broken nose
Thats the way the aggro goes

(I could tell you a few stories like the time we went to see the Four Skins in Southall and a riot broke out or when we supported The Ventz who turned out to be Skrewdriver under another name...)

Mod, Rocker, Punk and Skinhead are all part of Britain's culture and history. These trends are not just fads but real lifestyles that many people take very seriously. The stereotypical racist Skinhead was a media invention, the majority of Skins are peace loving hardworking educated decent people who love music and socialising

Not from my experience, every feckin' one of them I met growing up in the 80's was a violent racist ****... any ex skins on here??

MY first experience of them was in the early 1970s when the biggest of a gang of them wanted to take me down a back alley for a fight. Fortunately I was with a Glaswegian guy who knew how to deal with these situations.

It still wasn't a pleasant experience though.

There was one guy who went to a tattooist and wanted 'skrewdriver' tattooed on his forehead... he was so thick he didn't specify the exact spelling... I saw him a few weeks later and he had a line tattooed in font of the 'C' ...twat
