UK Gang Culture Explodes

Disaffected teenagers in Britain are adopting street violence and American style gang culture because politicians and corporations are ignoring their needs, senior British race expert Beverley Barnard told the Guardian this week.

"What is emerging is the social provision of the criminal culture- the gang is being seen to step into the vacuum where statutory provision should be," she claimed.

"The gang becomes the family, the provider of social support."

Ms Barnard was talking about youth culture in Northern cities like Burnley, Bradford and Oldham rather than London and, unusually for an establishment figure, didn't attempt to lay the blame on So Solid Crew.
