[kj] rebellion?

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

The way I heard it (in about 82 I guess) was:

red = want a fight
white = NF
yellow = British Movement

Those of you who weren't in the UK in the late seventies / early eighties may never have heard of the latter (except perhaps via "a bunch of BM's march in on DM's") but they were another of the many strands of British Fascism.

there was for a while, around the early 80's a thing with laces. Wasnt
just skinhead, more attached to Oi i think.
white was fascist. red had the anarchist/antifascist
it was a youngsters thing that briefly happened but gained more legend
than it deserved.

I have no problem with the dress at 'Rebellion' and i enjoyed watching
the old skinheads and two toners at the recent Madstock

ago that said you could tell what type of skinhead someone was (i.e. racist or 
not) by the color of the laces on their Doc Martens.
