Daddy issues, like Timber said you had.
Yer da doesn't sell Avon. He didn't leave for a pack of cigs and never came back. He didn't even leave a name behind at the pub so your mummzy could find him and take him to Maury.
When you look at a neo-Nazi Skin, what comes to mind, like always? Broken home, Council Estate Housing, drunken ma, no father. That's why you lot like Authoritarian types, dictators, tyrants. It's because you didn't have a daddy. It's a classic old trope - one borne out by facts, figures, and basic psychology.
Fastest growing religion in the UK is Islam. I don't mean from a steady infusion of immigants, but from conversion. And most of those converts? Girls. Teens, to be specific, early 20s too, young women. Native, btw, British Brits. Common denominator? You got it: broken home, poor, drunken ma, no father.
Islam provides a strick, rigid moral code, very male dominated. The Koran, unlike the Bible, is basically one long lecture. Not big on nifty parables and awesome legends and adorable miraculous myths to take what you can from them, just a basic how-to guide for living. That's the appeal of it to wayward youth with deep seated daddy issues in Britain. Same here in America to jailbird converts. It supplies the essence of the father them lost lot never had.
That's you. You're the lost. You're the hapless. You're the one they laughed at in school because you had no father. Hence the appeal of a Timber or an Olympian or a Vaga. We're the closest you can hope for finding a substitute for that which you never had
nor ever will,,,
