From a double page spread in The Evening Standard.<\/p>\n

Those of you with good reading habits will remember Judge Dredd in 2000AD and the ‘Block Mania’ stories<\/a>. It looks like more of Brian Bolland’s madness is leaking into reality.<\/p>\n

There is an exhibition on populations in cities at the Tate Modern<\/a>; this year, 50% of all people on the earth will be living in cities. As this trend continues and people from different places coalesce into self contained cesspools in Megacities, you are going to see more ‘Block Mania’ outbreaks as people turn to gangs<\/a> for identity<\/a>, protection<\/a> and a way to make a living<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And in case you didn’t know, ‘Man Dem’<\/em> means:<\/p>\n

“Man Dem is the term used for a group of friends or homies. This term originated from the carribean but found its way to the streets of the uk where it is widely used.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m going to link man dem<\/strong>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Urban Dictionary<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So we can say, “Big up BLOGDIAL Man Dem!”<\/p>\n

Oh, and they forgot the hideous, perfidious and insidious gang ‘The Knights of 30 St Mary Axe’.<\/p>\n

As you can see, some of these gangs and gang members have Bebo, Myspace and YouTube spots where they boast their hardness. Some of those links are priceless<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here is a neat video compiling footage of many gangs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to all the reporting on handgun crime, shootings, knife crime and gangland stabbings in London, the traffic for this post has gone through the\u00a0ceiling. It seems also, that people are searching for specific gang names and ending up here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
