Laces & Braces & Blank-Lookin’ Faces

This is some free advice to the Patriotic Youth League and the Australia First Party.

If you get caught out doing something wrong, please… don’t lie about it. You’re really not any good at lying.

I think that’s something that’s been well established over this past year.

At the recent PYL/AF protest in support of Andrew Fraser, one of the young boneheads took issue with the fact that we had pointed out that he wore red braces to the Sydney Forum.

I wear red braces because they make me look as beautiful as I feel.

In bonehead culture, red braces and laces mean that you (claim to) have drawn blood in the race war.

But at the protest, he was aghast. His feelings had been hurt.

He was no murderer!

He wore red braces “because he likes the colour.”

The reason he wore braces, he explained, was so that he wouldn’t look like a wigger (slang for “white nigger”) with his VERY heterosexual skin tight jeans hanging around his backside.

Erm, why not wear a belt?

That other shining example of the master race, retirement home vandal Ben Weerheym, also took issue with our ridiculous Nazi Colour Code allegations.

He wrote:


he takes issue with one of the activists and that he is wearing red braces - shock horror! As said by Henderson, if someone is wearing red braces, it supposedly means that the person has “drawn blood in the race war”. Huh? I think Henderson has been reading too much propaganda or perhaps he has watched too many Hollywood movies.

Well, that’s us told.

But what’s this?

Note to Kyle: The whole “I’m a tough guy” look is undercut by the presence of the lovely embroidered pillow cases in the background and the nice baby photo behind your head. The Pink Floyd (The Wall) t-shirt is a tad improper on you Kyle seen as The Wall is one long artistic diatribe against fascism. Its chief architect, Roger Waters is a noted anti-racist/anti-fascist.

Anyway, where were we? Oh yes - red suspenders boy.

Kyle Chapman, formerly fuhrer of the New Zealand National Front - arguably New Zealand’s best dressed skinhead gang, had something to say on this very subject not all that long ago:

White= White power/White Pride/Skinhead
Red = NS/National Front/Shed Blood
Blue = None political Punks and Skins (they get attacked by everyone so dont see it much)
Purple = Pagan, usualy anarchists and punk freaks and the skins who hang out with them
Yellow = no one wears them because they mean killed someone and who wants to say youve done that (especialy if you have!).
Pink = Gay (no one wears them because they will get bashed for doing it)
Green = Irish Republican

In the two tone days white laces ment black and white united. LOL, thats funny ah.

The strait lace comes from the fact that the first skinheads where british and in britain every working class person did their laces like that. In WW2 the crossed laces ment that you were a german spy. It is traditional to where strait laces to show british origins of the Skinhead Subculture.

That settles that. This isn’t the first porky that the PYL have told (We’re not nazis, Volksfront, Luke Connors “the Law student”, Eureka Spirit, Newcastle “riots”, Concerned Citizen’s Collective, Drew Fraser’s involvement - to name but a few), nor is it likely to be the last - but c’mon guys, why not give honesty a spin sometime? It’s a lot more fun than you might think.
