Sounds to me like most of these encounters and issues were / are stemming from the racist problems inherent in the skinhead scene - which is a terrible burden proper skins have had to carry forever. Of course these kind of berks are then lead into other areas, as we discussed that cross over - mod, northern, etc etc and give everyone a bad name. I also have never been able to understand the hypocrisy of living your life to the soundtrack of black music and yet spouting racist rhetoric. You have to ask yourself whether people can actually be that dim - but yes - they can. Having said that it would certainly be a shame to have people think the 100 club (in terms of it's soul nights) is anything other than welcoming really, especially in modern times (cyclist mods excluded ).
