'this is england'

This is a title of a film that had good revues about a group of skinheads living in a Northern town in England.
It was written and directed by Shane Meadows and is based on his experience as a skinhead in 1983.
So why did I put this thread under 'people'?
Its just I've noticed since this film came out I've seen a sight I haven't seen for a while..skinheads walking around my town.
This is an example of although showing skinheads in a bad light with regards to racism it in fact inadvertently glorifies them. The same go's rap artists who try to give their awful music some creedance by rapping on about how bad gangs are and not to take drugs etc etc. it just promotes the opposite.
The same go's for ASBO's that are seen as a badge of courage.
I didn't see all the film as I turned the dvd off as I thought it was a depressing film and a complete load of bollocks. It wasn't directed well, the lighting was awful, the acting was rubbish.
For a start, I'd never heard of a skinhead named 'Shane' as the Shane's, Dean's and Waynes of England were popular amongst stupid working class mothers from lowly council estates mainly in Basildon and Dagenham when skinheads were long gone.
In the film it showed a boy buying his first Ben Sherman in 1983, well let me tell you... Ben Shermans may be popular now and popular in the late 60s and early 70s but they were very difficult to get hold of in the 80s. In the early 80s a friend of mine who wanted to look like a MOD looked everywhere to get hold a Ben Sherman, so I went into my loft and got my old one out from 1968, the collar was scuffed and worn but my friend went to the trouble of getting a taylor to lop some of the material off the tails so as to mend the collar because Ben Shermans could not BE BOUGHT FROM A SHOP IN 1983 IN ENGLAND!.
Shane Meadows wrote a complete load of nonsense and his film was rubbish to feed the left wing socialists idiots who live on pink fluffy clouds.
Where did this jackanory teller get his material? His chronology is wrong!
Now it seems this idiot has started the skinhead revival again :-5
