Talk:Rude boy

I'm [Ben Samuel] and I live in London and therefore regularly experience "Rude Boys", a subculture related to the Jamaican one but distinctly British. These gangs of youths as the Police call them will find any excuse to pick a fight, and cynically target affluent areas, moving about to avoid detection. They especially like violence, mobile phones and garage music (the type found on pirate radio). Some like bikes to. Strategies: Avoid at all costs as they always mean trouble. Even if they commit a crime such as obstructing a pathway, it is very hard to nail them. The best way is to go into a public place (away from them) and tell the police to come, with sirens off, so they don't scarper.
