But the camera then cuts and viewers see that he is in fact trying to rescue the man from falling bricks.]]> 2018-11-08 12:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dominic_finnigan/1ere71118/wish/302015376 dominic_finnigan https://padlet.com/dominic_finnigan/1ere71118/wish/302018556 Read further....]]> 2018-11-08 13:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/dominic_finnigan/1ere71118/wish/302018556 dominic_finnigan https://padlet.com/dominic_finnigan/1ere71118/wish/302020268 Skinhead culture started among young English and Jamaican working-class communities in 1960s London.

Changing immigration patterns also shaped the burgeoning culture. Around the time, Jamaican immigrants began to enter the U.K., and many of them lived side-by-side with the working-class English. This physical proximity offered a chance for sustained cultural exchange, and soon enough English kids latched on to Jamaican reggae and ska records. In a nod to the mod and rocker subcultures that preceded them, skinheads donned slick coats and loafers, buzzing their hair in a quest to become cool in their own right — and to disassociate themselves from the hippie movement.

The far-right National Front Party saw in the skinheads a group of working-class males whose economic hardships may have made them particularly sympathetic to the party’s ethno-nationalist politics.
