Respect to Ian Dury, the OG.

Apparently so as to appear the victim of a punishment style shooting, which improves their cred no end. However, they will change legs if observed for any length of time.


The low slung - half mast - show everyone your pants mode of jean wearing is an affectation towards U.S. inmates in the 'Big House' having their belts taken away by the guards.


What really hacks me off is the wearing of Rosary Beads as a fashion accessory (6)(6)

Rickets. Your Gang Members dont really do the "5 a day" thing. Unless its a "Blood" Orange.

The whole 'respek' thing is such a joke though. I mean you have to wonder what pathtically fragile sort of self-esteem or ego these characters have if they can have it bludgeoned by someone just looking at them. Imagine living a life where the rules were that if someone looked at you the "wrong way", they were "dith-rethspeking me, blood" and you had to then shoot them and spend the rest of your life in prison where one of your victim's "homies" would probably "shiv" you with a "shank" or whatever.


Very, very sad!

The funny walk thing comes from trying to give the appearance of having a hand gun in your pants, as said weapon affects ones gait. So, its an attempt to make out that the miscreant in question is "so hard they would have a piece next to their dick".


Ask anyone with experience of dealing with street gangs in the USA for confirmation.

It's not though, for some young, and in my experience mainly young black males it's deadly serious. Tragically and fatally so on occasion. In parts of town, it's difficult not to become gang involved, sink or swim

You do don't you? They're not the sort of people who are achieving much. Who aspire to anything and who have any say or stake in society, or even in the community they inhabit beyond their own subculture.

No I can't imagine it. But I don't pretend to understand exactly why some young males end up in the situation described. I am tired of the platitudes mouthed by radio broadcasters, churches, community 'leaders' The Mayor, politicians both big and small and even the youth themselves. I think the factors that create these young people involve deprivation, lack of a father figure, the predominance of drug dealing in poorer neighbourhoods and the need of said drug dealers to create a 'postcode' gang culture in order to take care of business. If you feel you have nothing to lose then perhaps going to gaol doesn't make any difference. If you've lost the ability to feel/empathise then nothing can touch you.

In a gang? In prison? Same mindset. Tragic.

Looking at the list of names, I was wondering if inability to spell is a pre-requisite for joining a gang?

Can you imagine the initiation:

Gang leader: "Rite, you gotta spell 'boyz, shoota, and wot' for us or you ain't joyning the Dulitch Boyz Croo"...

Would-be gang member: "B O Y S" .... "S H O O T E R" .... "W H A T"

Gang leader"Sorry cuz..."

I reckon the people involved can actually spell correctly, they simply choose not to.

And if Mike Yarwood's still alive, he'd proably pay money for the above.

But only Yarwood, Ken Dodd would consider it limp beyond belief.

And so would the DiddyMen. To a man.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
