Following on from the Kylie thing the 'Style' mag took up the ideas of the 'London Tribes, Leading the Pack' How did I fit in? Being born to an East End Lass, in Essex and working on the Isle of Dogs do I fit the 'The Intellectuals' - I'd like to think so, but not totally. Am I 'Indie' - only the jeans bit, am I 'Hedonist', well only the 'Champagne' bit. I am definately not an 'Exhibitionist' contrary to popular belief! Nor am I 'New Wave' or a 'Dubsteppers' so it looks like I am in a tribe of my own the 'Independant Intellectual wanna be tribe' I have always been outside the tribe.
As Mick so rightly points out, all the problems in the world are down to 'tribalism' such as my gangs bigger than your gang, the silly play ground na na na na taunts to a fight over this very issue. Or my religion is better than yours etc etc. Out of which grow the bullies of this world.
