As much as I like and admire him as an actor, let's be honest here, he completely was, the star of Oz, I've never heard someone talking so much bullshit in my life and I am in my 60s now. He was NEVER A TILBURY SKINHEAD. I should know because I actually was one. I still am. The Tilbury Skins were not a racist gang. The Tilbury Skins were original [19]69 Skins. The music we listened to was black, Trojan label, Blue beat and the clothes were a two fingers up to the posh hippies. Do some fucking research. Watch the Don Letts documentary. Educate yourselves about what a real skinhead is. Don't believe the bullshit just to sell his fucking movie.

Skinheads are NOT traditionally racist. Please do some research. These people made a movie loosely based on ONE man's life. Bob Marley, Desmond Dekkar, Toots and the Maytals.. All skinhead music which came WAY before any anti black nonsense. Original skinheads were and still are black and white. Unfortunately, the only ones who get the press and media coverage are a bigoted minority. Why? Because it SELLS. There are so many different types of skinheads.. Very few of whom are actually racist. It's a pity so few actually think for themselves; they must be told by the media and Hollywood.

I watched this movie and from the start I felt sad how the mother treated him differently then the others. But as the movie progressed it felt so over the top and unbelievabl e that I did some research about it. It seemed a lot of nonsense indeed. Every critic that was asking questions or that was involved in the skinhead scene back then got blocked. It's the dumbest skinhead movie I watched. And where is the scars on his fingers? And al of the scars of the beating that he ever got.

His story is said to have been embellished. Also I feel that personally if I and others were being targeted I would just make my own group to fight back and go harder x10. As someone who was in the Punk scene I am surprised there was not one Punk kid in the film to fight them. Especially in England of all places. Men all bleed so noone is invincible. As a black guy from America who is also of Nigerian ancestry...I was really shocked regarding the private fostering. I feel that really traumatized the author of the film and so this story is him lashing out at his parents.

He is a liar. He was not a Tilbury skin and to call them Trojan skins is a massive insult to real Trojan skins, of which I am proud to say I am one. Trojan skins were the opposite of racist, encompassed all parts of my Cityand certainly not into any type of Nazism whatsoever. We were English yes. Not British. In fact we identified as being Londoners and South West Londoners at that. Read a great book by David Marshall for the truth.

April 1970, two 18 year old skinheads, the original first wave skinheads known as “Trojan skinheads” stabbed 50 year Bangladeshi migrant Tosir Ali to death in Bromley By Bow in East London. Those early skinheads were so “nice” and “peaceful” towards my people weren’t they? Those morons in 1970 weren’t even National Front or Neo Nazi which makes it worse, they just hated brown people.

Christabell O There's alot of factions of skinheads . Skinheads that are against racism (the majority.) then there's skinheads that are for racism. Skinheads that involve themselves in politics, then you have the Aryan Brotherhood/Nazi Low Riders. The majority of skinheads are not racist, they're just prideful which nothing is wrong with that because everyone should be prideful of who they are, I guess I would be considered a skinhead because I shave my head, wear Docs, straight Levi's and wear flight bomber jacket. But my little brother is African American and I love him more than anything. I just hate when people call me a skinhead because they're ignorant and think that skinhead = racism .
