Love of skinhead boots is not contained to the English, American or German skinheads. I recently discovered a bootboi in Burma and now correspond with him. He cannot always get to a computer or to an email service, but he is so dedicated to boot worship regardless of his situation. His government restrict internet access with an iron fist, yet he still manages to search the internet for his big love of skinhead boots. Would we do the same given the same circumstances? I doubt it as our lives are not restricted or censored. We do not get up in the morning with the uncirtainty of maybe being arrested for the slightest thing, or for loving a culture deamed militaristic and therefore banned. Yes, skinheads are classed as a military culture and a subversive sub group.
Burma has a military junta ruling the country with no regard for its inhabitants or international law. It has no human rights and its jails are full of those who try to make a difference to the lives of others. I am a skinhead and although this contact (his name must remain hidden for obvious reasons) is not a skinhead in the real sense, he is as much a skinhead as all of us for his fight to survive as a working class man in a country devoid of justice. Long live the fight for freedom for all lovers of boots and skinheads.
Welcome to my blog. I am a gay skinhead and a SHARP. I am also an author of skinhead books and my favorite author is Richard Allen, and no I don't style my writings after his books. My characters are as real as I can make them in my mind and all my books try to show my feelings against racial, sexual and religious hate. Being a skinhead is not just being a lout although that does help in a fight, but upholding a creed and brotherhood established by working class youth in the late 60's.

Why is it when something becomes popular, they get all moralistic? FaceBook has recently started culling members accounts for reasons unbeknown to all except themselves. I have had several friends who have lost their accounts and have not been told the reasons why.
One of my friends is a bigoted, white power skinhead. I am a Sharpe. I met him on FaceBook when he wrote abusive and threatening comments on my FaceBook page because of one of my blogs of skinheads and Sharpe. I did not report him but mearly continued to talk with him through FaceBook. I don't think I have changed his attitude, but he can now talk and explain his feelings more freely. I don't think he will ever change his views, but I have got to know him and enjoy our brief if not entertaining banter. Many people look at abuse as an attack on themselves. I prefer to see it as a chalenge to try reason where I can. Oh don't misunderstand me, in a rumble that goes out the window, but on social networks such as FaceBook, it is after all just words and I enjoy a good writen arguement.
So next time a fellow skin mouths off about Nazism or WP, don't report them or have nothing more to do with them, talk with them and learn why they feel the way they do. It is very enlightning.
