That is indeed what they showed in the film, in reality the neo-nazi's came along and stole the skinheaRAB image I believe.

He was supposed to be 12 and she was supposed to be about 15/16, in fact doesn't she have a birthday party/gathering at some point in the film where they are going on about her finally being over the age of consent? (admittedly, the actress is probably a lot closer to 20 in real life).

Good film though. Stephen Graham (Combo) is absolutely superb in it, as is little Thomas Turgoose.

I had been wanting to see this for ages and glad i finally got to see it.

Thought it was brilliant and the last few scenes were amazing.

Combo's character was intense to watch and played by a great actor

There's also White Noise which deals with the racist side of things, and countless football hooligan books, which essentially is nowt to do with skins but got latched onto it

Definitely. This was my second time watching it, and he was still absolutely terrifying.

Cheers for that.
