Chavs were made up by a middle/upperclass newspaper in 2004 to paint the working class as all animalistic thugs. They never actually existed, and like with The Loch Ness Monster, the stories of run-ins with them were always too ridiculous to be true

    Aren’t Roadmen a Black sub culture while “Chavs” are a myth that was always portrayed as being white and working class?

      Um, never heard that roadmen are a black subculture, so that’s you projecting that. But I’m sure you have a badly sourced rationale for that too.
