(the young ones) radical posture - dr martens boots

[@kpec3]

I never realized that Dr. Martins boots had united us all, but I guess he's right.

[@DeniseEffah]

Yeah lol

[@spookyvegan1402]

I love my Dr. Martins boots 😆

Fascists and antifa have something in common 😂

This song was hilarious, Dr Martens boots is such a uniting force

[@bbb462cid]

I'm wearing a pair right now

[@TheVerosyv]

I knew Id heard a song about the boots and had to look it up. Had to be these maniacs 😂 love this show to pieces. hadnt watched for years and bought the DVD recently. watching it this week for sure

[@iroscoe]

£69.99 a pair now and made in Thailand too....if that's not reason to rise up and burn someones room i don't know what is .

[@theprophetretard6784]

It's the boots! They've taken control!!!

[@adriangomez9791]

in the states we get ours for $115 docs made in china.

[@iroscoe]

Adrian Gomez Nothing wrong with China or Thailand,but DM's should be made in Northampton the same way swiss army knives are made in Switzerland,its sad that an increasing number of once unique products are being churned out of the same industrial conurbations .

[@Rensune]

Edward Corran I'm more pissed off at people trying to sell me $5 boots for more then 500%

[@martinogold]

Edward Corran second that. Just bought a pair of MIE for that very reason.

[@Paul77ozee]

One thing l love about the young ones is that they didn’t try to cash in an make more episodes after its become a cult following. The difference between American and English tv is that English shows pack more into each episode because there seasons are short. While American shows have to spread out the story over 20 something episodes.

[@DTD110865]

"You'd think Devil Woman" had never been written?-Rik.Don't you love how he brings up songs that have nothing to do with fighting social injustice, all for his Cliff Richard fandom? :D

[@thedungeondelver]

Had they not driven off of that...urgh, I hate to make the pun... _cliff_ in the last episode, Rik would likely be working some low-level office job for the Conservative party now. Mike would manage a game room/slot machine hall, Vyv would be either a PA, male nurse or full-blown physician and Neil...would be Neil.

[@DTD110865]

Rik in the Conservative Party? I find that hard to believe.

[@thedungeondelver]

Oh come on, Rik was as phony as a three dollar bill. He'd cave in a second (see the episode "Money" ).

[@DTD110865]

thedungeondelver Are you sure you don't mean "Cash." I'll check it out, but one think you have to admit, he was certainly a wannabe.

[@thedungeondelver]

Yes! Thank you, "Cash" was the episode.

I wish they were still only 19.99!! Love the vid btw

[@leonardpearlman4017]

So, twenty pounds? Well, when I was a kid a pound was a few dollars, right? And those dollars (good twenty cent dollars!) would probably be five dollars now, maybe more. So??? A few hundred 2020 dollars, roughly? These boots might be CHEAPER now, in real terms!

[@SelleSatan72]

Well he'd better be good this Norman Tebbitt. I doubt poor Norman realised this would be the reason anyone remember him at all. Poor bastard. Oh and Doc Martens never retailed for nineteen quid in Australia. It was more like ten times this

[@crystalidentity]

So who the heck _is_ Norman Tebbitt?? I've never heard of him.

[@dollcefina]

@@crystalidentity Ah, found him... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Tebbit

[@jamesperkins191]

Well, pounds are worth 2x dollars roughly, so we are already looking at forty 1983 Australian dollars. It still sounds too cheap though, although $400 is an exaggeration.

[@JadenShaw]

why is this song not in doc marten commercials XD

These days I live in Docs, and every time I acquire a nice pair of them online (strictly Made In England, mate) I feel compelled to play this here upload. As it happens, my most recent pair are 5-eyelet 7751's, which may indeed be what Alexi's wearing. Docs which don't have the yellow stitching, in any case.

Jamie Rose You clearly don't get it. People had a great self-distance - even in regards to supposedly noble beliefs.

It's always something to be mocked and parodied.

Even though they're primarily the cause of the offensive and the bigotry.
