Anti-immigration and youth in the UK – the example of Skinheads

The aim of this paper is to present the immigration policy of Great Britain from the end of the Second World War until today, emphasizing anti-immigration movements that emerged during this period. Given the recent situation regarding Britain’s exit from the European Union, it is interesting to examine movements, both formal and informal, that have set themselves the goal of opposing immigration into Britain. Also, given that one of the dominant narratives in the campaign to leave the Union was an anti-immigration stance, it is important to examine which forms of action within specific groups in the second half of the twentieth century laid the foundation for anti-immigrant sentiment in British society. In a separate chapter, we will focus on the relationship between the youth and anti- immigration movements through the prism of the skinhead subculture, which is an important component of the British subcultural scene. It is important to show the connection of the subcultural group with institutionally recognized political parties, as well as the informal political/activist activities of young people gathered around the skinhead movement.
