The term "Combo This Is England" refers to the 2006 British coming-of-age drama film "This Is England," written and directed by Shane Meadows. The film centers around young skinheads in England in 1983 and explores how their subculture became influenced by far-right politics. A key character in the film is Combo, played by Stephen Graham, who is a complex figure representing nationalist and racist views and serves as a pivotal antagonist. Combo is a former convict recently released from prison who asserts strong English nationalist ideology and splinters the skinhead gang into factions. His character exemplifies the tension and influence of far-right politics within the skinhead scene during that period. A notable scene involves Combo explaining his views with the phrase "this is England," linking him directly to the film's title. The film's plot follows Shaun, a young boy who gets involved with the skinhead gang and Combo's faction. The film was critically acclaimed and led to three sequel TV series continuing the story. Stephen Graham's portrayal of Combo is significant in depicting the darker nationalist elements within the skinhead culture of the time. The movie explores themes of identity, nationalism, race relations, and the loss of innocence in 1980s England.
