Chavs - "British Rednecks"

Baseball caps. Tattoos. Bling. Tracksuits, flannel/plaid/Burberry clothes. Actually, most chavs don't wear Burberry anymore, but you get the gist. Though it's not as prevalent as back in the 2000's (when sites like "chavscum" were hugely popular), the British media and many people still like to demonise "Chavs" - a distinctive subculture in Britain that has been around since the 90s. This community is for people who don't think they're all as bad as they're said to be.

"Goth" killed man for being a "Chav". Really sad case. interesting how this story is largely forgotten about and didn't get remotely as much public outcry as the opposite happening (www.standard.co.uk)

A 19 year old man named Jed Sheridan was killed by a 20 year old "goth" who was part of this gang he called the "TSE Crew" that went around beating up "chavs". After this horrible incident the murderer boasted about it saying "don't worry, it was just another chav". There was a blog post about his death which had comments, many of them were nasty (source). Sheridan was just walking home with friends and the attack was completely unprovoked. details are graphic so just a warning for those going to read the article. going by many people's attitudes such as the ones on the blog I linked I suspect people are less bothered by a chav being killed in an unprovoked attack than if it were a different kind of person who is middleclass. regardless of how he looked or what his lifestyle was, his life mattered too. RIP Jed Sheridan 💔
