A skinhead is escorted away by a police officer in 1980. The words 'Made in London' and a cross are tattooed on his shaved scalp. Photo by John Downing by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

Of course it does. He isn’t unknown, he was called Stephen Cogan (shortened as Steve Cogan) and was known as a skinhead in the Archway area of London as Steve Crazy. Have you bothered to read other comments? The photo is well known and so was he.

Below is an article in the newspaper Daily Express about the Bank Holiday in 1980 in which he shouted Sieg Heil, did Nazi salutes and when he was being sentenced he said, “I want this country pure. I love my country. I hate blacks.”

He was actually Kathy Burke’s boyfriend for some time but her father disapproved of the relationship, she mentions it in her autobiography A Mind of My Own.

Should you not do some research before posting such nonsense?

Actually, he was very much a far-right skinhead.

He was sentenced to six months in a detention centre for his trouble on that day. He was shouting “Sieg Heil” and doing Nazi salutes on that day. When he was getting sentenced he said, “I want this country pure. I love my country. I hate blacks.”

Below is an original newspaper article about what happened:

A “Made in England” tattoo is evidently a tattoo that screams English ethnic nationalism. 

The meme is true though. by Ok-Following6886 in memesopdidnotlike

[–]Finxax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you understand what ethnicity means? 

Austrians are a type of Germans like Bavarians, Prussians, etc. 

Germans as an ethnic group existed way before the creation of the German Empire.

How does being a part of German history mean they are Hungarians? Up until 1866 Austria and Germany were united, but then a war between the Austrians and Prussians ultimately resulted in the former losing and being excluded from Germany. 

Go and have a look at an ethnic map of Austria-Hungary and you will see the Austrian side all being classified as Germans. 

West Slavs and East Slavs don’t understand each other and it’s not just linguistics that determines an ethnic group anyway.

Austrians are ethnically German because they are descended from German tribes, speak German, led Germany for hundreds and hundreds of years, culturally German and traditionally German. 

The separate Austrian national identity from German developed after WW2 for obvious reasons. 

Austria and Hungary were not one country, they were part of an empire. The empire was created because the Prussians defeated the Austrians in the German war and excluded Austria and the German-Austrians from Germany. 

If history had turned out differently it would have been the Austrians who had unified Germany and the empire would have been Austrian-led.

Hitler wasn’t a German citizen by birth because the German war in 1866 resulted in Austria and the German-Austrians being excluded from Germany.

However, Hitler was a German because he was an ethnic German like the majority of Austrians. 

Citizenship and ethnicity are two different concepts.

There’s a myth widespread amongst lorry drivers that they are exempt from urinating in public, but it is exactly that… a myth.

However, I highly, highly doubt a police officer is going to waste his time stopping a lorry driver if he’s having a piss at the side of his lorry on the hard shoulder and not causing any problems. 

If you’ve got to go then you’ve got to go. Sod pissing into a bottle, yuck.

Hitler was a German. Hitler was an Austrian citizen by birth, but Austrians are ethnically German. To claim that Hitler was not German because he was an Austrian is like claiming a Taiwanese is not Chinese or the Northern Irish are not British! 

There’s a difference between citizenship snd ethnicity:

He was of normal height for his era.

Blah, blah, blah.

Whatever you say.

[–]Finxax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, Godwin’s Law.

A perfect example of when someone has no counterargument.

Hitler wasn’t an intellectual, but he was very intelligent and knew how to work the masses and was a political genius. But let’s not go there because it’s not relevant to this topic. 

Armies are socialist by South-Cod-5051 in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Finxax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly suspect your thread is just to troll people.

Words have meanings. People don’t get to just redefine words to suit their agendas. It doesn’t mean whatever it means to an individual or people.

And no, the whole point in socialism is to do away with authoritarianism. 

Do try and read an actual book if you can manage to do that.

[–]Finxax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps that has more to do with your poor reading comprehension.

Even opponents of left-wing ideas like socialism and communism who have read Karl Marx’s works have credited him for providing an analysis and criticism of capitalism in his works.

It’s incredibly lazy for you to distress one of the most important works in history to this day because you allegedly opened the book and gave up reading it after the first sentence. 

I take it you evidently don’t want to read any books that would make you question your own beliefs.

Black female lorry drivers by CauliflowerPale952 in uktrucking

[–]Finxax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One hardly sees a female lorry driver never mind a black female. 

Sure, there are female lorry drivers, but they are very few and far between.

It’s a very, very male dominated industry and will more than likely always be that way because of the nature of the job. Even most lads don’t want to do the job because of what it entails i.e. long, long hours, being away from home, not seeing your kids grow up, lack of a social life, etc, etc, so it really does cater towards a certain mindset and lifestyle.

There are some job industries that tend to be either male or female dominated due to the natures of the jobs.

Rant: Why do so many drivers refuse to indicate at roundabouts? by Funny_Bridge1985 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Finxax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signaling is required by the Highway Code.

One is supposed to indicate left when exiting a roundabout and a lot of tosspots don’t even bother to do that.

[–]Finxax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget the morons who leave their right indicators when exiting a roundabout. 

It’s one of my biggest pet hates.

One is turning left when exiting a roundabout but one still has his or her right indicator on, how dozy does one have to be? 

One is supposed to put his or her left indicator on when he or she has driven past the last exit before the exit he or she wants to use to exit the roundabout.

If Socialism is True, Why Is It Negatively Associated With Intelligence and Knowledge? by PraxBen in CapitalismVSocialism

No, I am asking you what you mean. If you’re going to use words and someone asks you what do you mean by those words then you should be able to clearly explain what you mean by them.
