What is a ‘Roadman’? The term can refer specifically to a person in a gang (poetically ‘on the road’) but it also has the broader sense of ‘Urban Youth’. ‘Hoodie’ has also sometimes been used interchangeably though the connotations are not quite the same. There is some overlap

There are regional versions of these cultures and sociolects too. Cities with large numbers of eg Turkish, Albanian, Kurdish etc settlers see new slang terms with origins in their native language introduced. In Yorkshire towns like Bradford, the emerging culture represents a

Another growing feature of these environments is an increasingly assertive Islam. Again, one major strength of Roadman-ism as a kind of indistinct urban culture is how malleable it is - in many respects it is ahistorical and so can accommodate new influences much more readily

@kunley_drukpa Great insights, thank you. I'd suggest there's another version of this, which is the 2nd/3rd gen East/South Asian Middle Class race grifter leftist (Ash Sarkar being the paradigmatic example). While her hostility to white Britons and the UK's legacy culture may appear to

@kunley_drukpa It is the Jeeves and Wooster enjoyers who must assimilate to the YOOKAY. Milling, petty crime, stabbings and general low vibes and low trust is the culture now

@kunley_drukpa Use existing citizenship law to deprive that status from them if they break the law, particularly violently or repeatedly. Stop inheritance of British citizenship from arrivals post 1981. This is already legal & popular & can be argued with civnat logic (British = British Values)

@kunley_drukpa A complete success!! If their idea of a complete success is destruction of evil whitey culture then yeah

@kunley_drukpa Recently trying to figure out why your posts are so good–this was the closest I got to articulating it.

@kunley_drukpa This term has been adapted in my native Finland really fast - especially as we didn’t really have “chav” equivalent term for urban underclass (and easy way to anger Finnish is to even suggest we have underclass) Anyway, Finnish also use the term “roadmini” (from minion?)

@kunley_drukpa It’s funny that the UK roadman is a very particular british identity, as is musicale grime and uk drill.

@kunley_drukpa Tbf there are now people 13-30 dressed like this across Europe.

@kunley_drukpa Incredibly insightful thread, thank you.

@kunley_drukpa Great thread old sage, may goddess Britannia bless your thread.

@kunley_drukpa Feckin’ terrifying. I’ve got to get my family out of here. 😢

@kunley_drukpa Excellent writing. Thank you for describing this sector so well. I have small fantasies of Beatrix Potter and The Fox & Firkin...but I guess those days are truly rural.

@kunley_drukpa How long until the first Roadman Member of Parliament? Or Peer of The Realm?

@kunley_drukpa Go to war or be replaced. Your native indigenous country is being taken over.
