Edited by jamiemartin721 (14 Aug 2017 12.56pm) OK, but I couldn't support an ideology that I think is flawed. I couldn't support either extreme. Defending people from violence is a job for the police is it not? I accept that they can't always protect people but if you start doing violence to the violent then you become part of the problem, even if you think you have right on your side. This is not a re run of WW2, it's social unrest casused by poor policy decisions.

The police were notoriously poor back then at dealing with the far right (and the big focus was on football hooligans). If someone is doing violence unto others, or you, you're not breaking the law if you defend yourself and others. The ANL in my experience might have been 'looking for it' but they didn't go out trying to start it in the way the NF etc did.

Their very attendance at an NF rally guaranteed violence and they knew that. I don't see counter demos as defending people. It is political pure and simple.

Without the ANL the NF would have got stronger and their marches more numerous. But what really did for them was Thatcher getting into power. Well done Maggie. You took their fan base with you. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

See this what I don't get, I was a little s*** in my younger days..big time,I grew up in Norwood did the skinhead thing,but to me it was more a fashion than anything else. I reckon half my mates were black and skinheads too. Apart from the odd scrap with the black gangs( which my black mates would side with us),we all got on. And we had some right capers,there was the banter between us,but that's all it was banter,I would eat my tea around their house and they would do the same...no racism...none. always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Yeah it is odd as it seemed to cover two areas quite distinctly. The fashion Skins and the Skins whose appearance was in line with their racial and political beliefs and to look at the two by dress you couldn't tell the difference. But around 1977 and into the early 80's the latter were causing some major trouble at leftie and ska type concerts on a regular basis. A time when they made the Union Jack a fascist symbol. Gits.

You took their fan base with you. That is pure conceit. Thr NF got nowhere because many of their members were thicko thugs and the average voter would have nothing to do with them. Clearly, some members of the other team are still dopey as well.

See again I disagree,we loved ska,and reggae in fact the one and only time I ever was subject to real racism,was by the rasta who had the reggae stall at Brixton market..he refused to sell me a record and told me to f*** off white boy... But still got it anyway ..lol. But I can only go by my experience just as many black mates as white...mind you we made a formidable little team. always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Not insignificant. They had a hell of a lot of press coverage too. Best they were nipped in the bud just in case. Populism and all that. Can lead to daft voting. Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

Loads of fashion skins and suedeheads and others loved ska but if you attended the concerts back then in the less salubrious parts of London there was more than a fair chance of the far right skins turning up to make sure the party got bloodily ruined. French skins were bad too for that if you followed your band abroad. Edited by Kermit8 (14 Aug 2017 2.21pm) Big chest and massive boobs [Link]

The electorate does not vote for the far right or the far left in any significant numbers. A problem is that it is seen by many to be more or less ok to be far left, but totally unacceptable to be far right. They are the two sides of the same coin - both to be abhorred. We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]
