Dear Sirs...
A letter sent to the Daily Mail following the introduction of the 'mosquito' youth control device, on behalf of the punks of Britain...
Dear Sirs,
Following recent press criticism of the younger generation, I would like to point out that some of us have manners; know how to pronounce 'hierarchical', and it's meaning; we are able to understand discourse theory; we can hold debates; run conferences; campaign for our rights, and take what is rightfully ours, from a generation of those who believe they know what is best for us.
We can use punctuation, grammar, and some of us can string sentences like Dickens.
Not all of us sit glued to ‘Skins’ on the TV. Not all of us use ‘skins’ every day, or at all. Not all of us are 'skins', hoodies, chavs, ruffians, rapscallions, criminals or any other term which you may apply to all of my generation.
We can hold up our heads, sometimes whilst wearing hoods over them, for warmth (I do believe that your generation had a garment known as a ‘hat’ for this same purpose). We can earn our own money, have our own families, tend those families, and provide the love and attention they need.
By your generation, I have been held down, oppressed for a characteristic I was born with, told that I would never succeed, because I was a homosexual. Yes, I’m gay. Get over it. Can we move on now?
On behalf of the young people of this nation, I wish to express my disgust at the labelling and stereotyping present in today’s world, mainly facilitated by people not dissimilar to yourself. I would request that this be halted with immediate effect.
So quit with the badmouthin', badass, or I come over there an' stab u up. Rass-clat!
