It is the point when defense contractors also suck off the public teat. Corporate welfare. Puts dollars in Dick Cheney's pockets.

I read that at lunch today. My overriding question is this: is the Ciaran mentioned prominently in the CP story the same Ciaran (Daly, I believe) who wrote the piece on Marsh’s blog? if so, it would explain his aversion to the racist dudes on scooters.

I think they look like they needed a kitten to pose with in that picture. Really softens the image and makes you more likable.

After scanning the article, I would presume not the same Ciaran.

three or more skins kicking the offending party mercilessly with steel-toed Docs.
Doc Martin’s didn’t make a steel toe boot until like 10 years ago, they were likely wearing NANA’s or London Underground.
Fact Check aisle 1!

I’ve always thought skinheads were a bit silly, and this doesn’t change my opinion.

Loved the cop quote: “They seemed to me to be bored kids looking for attention.”

Wish the article focused on more of the non-ass kicking aspects of the Baldies and what Uptown used to be for so many young people in the late 80s and early 90s . . .

Thanks for the follow up. I was involved in several ARA chapters while in high school and still support them. The Baldies spawned something great…. kudos to them.
The original article is here if anyone is interested:
