Well as I said in an earlier post, I am now working as a bus driver. I can wear my skinhead clobber but a little concealment is required. I have to wear work pants as part of my uniform but I have my braces on them, and a Polo is part of the uniform. My boots are always there so I am half skinhead when working.
I would say 70% of my passengers are Indiginous and I wonder where the equality is in our lives. Most are healthy strong and well built but they have a pension card. A pension for what? Because they are Indiginous or because they cannot work because of illness? It's like the govenment gave up trying and now just gives them money to live. Yet I know of many Australians who are in desparate needs due to health or out of work and the government gives them nothing or bare subsistance with so many conditions they are overwhelmed.
I have made many friends in the Indiginous passengers I now carry but I cannot wonder why so many are considered pensioners when they are stronger and healthier than you or I. I am a strong believer in the assistance by governments to those who need it, but this situation is beyond a joke. If most of these Indiginous people can be classified as penshioners them the rest of Australia qualify also. It is a joke.
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.

Censorship
How often have you joined a group, any group, and received a notification of an article in the group, then find the owner or moderator of the group has removed it? It hapens regularly in groups I am a member and it shits me off. I thought censorship was a government thing and something to be fought against with all force at our disposal, yet we find group owners who constantly remove articles because they contravine their own petty rules and regulations.
I have never removed an article from my groups unless they are defamatory to another member, race color or creed. Articles which are aimed even at the owner are welcome as far as I am concerned as they tell the owner and the members what is right or wrong with the group. I have often received hate mail and even death threats with this site, but I do not go all week at the knees. Bring it on, if you think you can carry them out. I believe in the free press and freedom of all to express an oppinion.
As a skinhead and a SHARP I hate racial predudice especially in my skinhead brothers, for they are the ones who are not true skinheads. Skinheads were born of the Jamaican and Carabean culture, so if you call yourself a skinhead then you cannot be racial predudice, otherwise you are a fake.

skinheads are for life
You don't just decide to be a skinhead and go out and buy gear. You are born a skinhead and the lifestyle becomes you not the other way around. When a nipper I always admired the skinheads in my area, their disregard for convention and authority, but then I was just like them. I didn't decide to be a skinhead, I identified with them and it was natural for me to be one of them when I was old enough to think for myself. When was that? Well I don't really know but I think I always was one of them from when I started high school, but I suspect earlier.
I was no Einstein and looked forward to a life on the dole queue or a mindless occupation on a minimum wage but one day walked past a recruiting house and I stopped and looked. Then I ventured inside and talked to several guys inside. Before I knew it I had signed on for 6 years. The military taught me a trade and how to kill; that I already knew from an early age; but they taught me to do it legally. The comradery of a squad became my family much like a skinhead squad. I had a uniform like my skinhead clobber, and I felt I had finally found a purpose in life.
I was still a skinhead, shaved head, a uniform and a squad, but I had a trade I could use when I got out but I stayed for 25 years. Did I enjoy it? I supose I did in a way. It was my life, it was my family and I was always myself, a skinhead. The fact that I was gay never was questioned even though had they found out, I would have been discharged. Now I write about skinheads, about their power and agro, their social position as working class and unemployed or employed in menial jobs, their illiteracy and lack of government understanding. Their love of soccer and a rumble. Their needs are few; a skinhead family, and drink down the pub with their mates, a soccer game or two and a rumble afterwards. What do they ask for? A job that pays their worth and a government that understands them. Look at the number of skinheads in the UK alone and tell me they are not a force to be recond with. They are the forgotten minority.
