A back street off Brick Lane

















“Why are you bringing this shit into our community?”
(Local 10 year old kid with gang)

“It’s my isolation unit. I’ve got swine flu. I’m a pig nosed clown”
(Dirty Honky)

“No you’re not. Why are you dressed like a stupid pig? That’s not your real nose.”
(Kid)

“You’re being filmed for television. See that camera over there. That’s a TV camera.”
(DH)

“No it’s not.”
(Kid)

“Do you like graffiti art?”
(DH)

“No.”
(Kid)

“Music? You must like Music? How about rap? 50 cent?”
(DH)

“No.”
(Kid)

“What do you like? You must like football, right?”
(DH)

“No,”
(Kid)

“You’re a nihilist!”
(Older bystander)

A stick hits Honk in the face from increasingly aggressive kids.

The leader phones his older brother for backup.

10 minutes later a car blaring Hip Hop music and full of intimidating older brothers turns up.

Honk packs his bags and leaves.
