Heavily contextualised (particularly the introduction) through the use of montage/real life events, attempting to blur the lines between reality and fiction, making the viewer feel that this is an accurate reflection of the time period.
Woody's gang mostly challenge the stereotypes of the skinhead culture. They do this by acting inclusive towards people around them and are much more accepting of society, however, they take great care of what they look like, in true skinhead fashion. In contrast, Combo's skinhead gang are much more far right-wing in their political beliefs, believing that immigrants are to blame for the problems associated with England. They are very patriotic and have the strong belief that the Falklands War was one that was fought without reason. Their political views may be considered a more naive approach, as they have less consideration for other influences. Combo clearly is mentally unstable due to his sharp change of mood during his attack on Milky.
