This is England - 2006

Skin head group - not as typical of skin heads due to being less confrontational and having a laugh, they be-friend a kid and invite him into their 'gang', this is unusual as usually skin head groups are represented in a very aggressive manor and are also very racist which contrasts with Milky being part of their 'gang'.

Split in two groups with Combo's speech, Shaun and Gadget stick with Combo

Tensions between the two groups

Combo's group believes in national front and believes that immigration was the reason for all of the issues with the country, for example unemployment and that the Falklands war was a waste of time and people who took place in it were wasting their lives.

Combo taught Shaun agression and he was willing to act this way - shop scene with the knife

Shaun and Gadget became very racist however towards the end he befriends Milky and again, becomes racist after taking drugs and becoming very aggressive again

Combo becomes aggressive when Milky is talking about his family and the way he lives his life and we can make the link between when he previously asks if Milky is British or Jamaican and then when Milky is talking about their foods etc, this may have been what provoked the attack
