Great review essay Reece, thank you for highlighting this film.

As someone who was a teenager in 1980s Northern England, this ties in with the things I've talked about in couple of my own book reviews this year.

It was a rather grim time to be honest, and I think that's something many people my age and older will be thinking about again recently with the the political and economic situation in Britain at the moment.

Nationalist extremism is something which truly concerns me. It always has. It's even made me uncomfortable that the shaved head has become such a popular and widely accepted look, such was the impact gangs of rabid, violent skinheads made on me in the 80s.
