My letter to @Nigel_Farage. Hope the font doesn’t hurt his eyes and brings on a migrant.

"The teddy boys were really the first sign of a distinctive British youth culture."

In 1968, theorists Stuart Hall and Peter Worsley spoke about the explosion of youth culture in the UK with reference to mods, rockers and teddy boys. Oh, and Bill Haley weighed in too.
