Skinheads Rule !!

I've been asked umpteen times if I'm a Nazi/Neo-Nazi because I wear a green bomber jacket, the morons stole our style !!

SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice - We'll claim it back

[ArnieMcSarnie]

True skins wern't racist they just enjoyed ska and the fashion. It was mindless morons who hijacked the look and said that they were skins when all they were was mindless pricks who couldn't find a look or style of thier own, this was said by one who was there at he time a true skinhead with my braces together and boots on my feet!!!! anyone want to argue!!

I'm skin since 16 years, never been a facist, fuck facist, proud to be skin

@ArnieMcSarnie in germany (where I'm NOT from) the far right pinches all the left style stuff they can - right down to the antifascist flag emblem . The german state effectively subsidises these scum through the Verfassungsschutz (succesor to the Gestapo) on the excuse that paid informants are indispensible . Similar excuse for not banning the NPD ( legal neo-nazis ) .

@koga9376 Longshot Kick de Bucket is the first part. after that, the blend it into Liquidator (where Jerry has the awesome organ solo), and finish with Skinhead Symphony (give me some of that old moonstomping)

[koga9376]

I thought this was called Long Shot Kick The Bucket?

@timothybizzles well I was more replying to the guy who was complaining about all the ignorant comments he gets for wearing his flight jacket, so I was saying if it's a problem for him there's a lot of variety people wore in the original days before the skinhead style became as defined as it is now, which wouldn't get those same reactions he was talking about.

Not saying everybody needs to stop wearing a flight jacket or ben shermans or fred perrys,braces or whatever else.
