THIS IS ENGLAND 

Shane on the origins of the story...

"It's my own story, basically.  Nineteen-eighty-three was the year I became a skinhead myself.  I shaved my head, put on a pair of Doc Martens and visited a tattoo parlour.  It's a tragedy that 95% of people associate skinheads with racism.  The whole cult was born out of a love for black music and it was originally a very left-wing, socialist movement.  It was only later that the National Front took the anger and frustration of its members and directed it towards minorities."

"I came from a white, working-class background, and I was constantly told that the Asians were nicking all our jobs.  For a three-to-four-week period I believed it.  But then I witnessed some appalling violence, and realised it was all bullshit."
