^ I hear next year there's going to be more funding to train the police to indentify designer brands so the wrong people don't keep getting stopped. Oh, and there's an anti-hardnut white paper knocking around the house of commons too

Made by a label called Criminal I think, the one with an arrow logo iirc. Some dude at uni had one about 2 years ago.

Yeah, that's why I said the police are getting money to recognise designer brands, so they don't keep stopping the wrong, as in incorrect, people

i dont think u are getting my point.
im saying that there are stupid laws in place to stamp out the football violence problem we have. ie "the law that u can stop people in a group of larger than 5 people within 5miles of a football stadium"
fair enough the police have to stop football violence but this law is just straight up fucked.

and then we have no laws of any meaning to stop 14 yr old kids going around obscuring their identity, basically waiting to mug/ vandalise something.

what im saying is if they had the same sort of laws as the one i mention above, then im sure it would put these little runts off hanging around at bus stops/city centres in groups of more than 5. however the police dont wanna offend childrens/youth action groups or the ethnic action groups that would take offence if such a law came in.

I must be living in EMOcentral. Skinny jeans worn low with underwear showing. Hair the same: long sweeping fringe at the front, short at the back. Skin tight t-shirts with either a band print or some obsure wording. Small sized coats.

In bars and clubs where the Emo kids can't get in its a mixture of high street brands, uninspiring very bland. Boring.

Also lately I've noticed a lot more cardigans with shirt and a tie underneath.

Girls are much more interesting to look at.

I was actually in shock, every guy was wearing the same thing.

I hate the masses, brainless zombie clones.

It may be winter but surely knitwear - Lyle and Scott or otherwise - in a club is just wrong. "Hey, I'm gonna dance like Ronnie Corbett tonight love."

I don't know about wearing knitwear in a club being wrong but wearing the same shit as every other cunt in the place is definitly not right.

Agree with Nokia Boy, even with the dire influences people this demographic unfortunatly have the girls still manage to make something better of themselves comparatively speaking.

In a golf club maybe. It's not exactly conducive to a night of sweaty dancing is it?

I know what you mean though. I suppose the people were a bit orange, a bit lairy and a bit fond of the hair gel as well?

If your vibe is sweaty dancing then no.

In both ears? Classy and in no way effeminate.

v necks, cardigans, and polos teamed with shit g-stars are standard issue

How many times have you and your four CP wearing mates been stopped within 5 miles of a football stadium then?

None, I'd imagine

The police can move anybody on under public disorder laws and so on. They may or may not choose to do so when the majority of kids wearing hoodies aren't causing any trouble and they probably have better things to do than pander to the paranoia of wannabee-victims of crime
