Scousers - This Is England

This Is England is a 2006 British drama film written and directed by Shane Meadows. The story centres on young skinheads in England in 1983. The film illustrates how their subculture, which has its roots in 1960s West Indian culture, especially ska, soul, and reggae music, became adopted by white nationalists, which led to divisions within the skinhead scene.


Combo has a strong scouse accent and in the film he is represented in a negative way. He's an older skinhead who returns to the group after just serving a prison sentence - Committing crime, fits in with the typical negative stereotype of a scouser
He strongly expresses English nationalist and racist views - Giving scousers a racist representation



Racist antagonism of local shopkeeper Mr. Sandhu, a Pakistani man.
- In this scene,  Combo is seen firing racist abuse at the man and holding a machete towards his face.
