Britain has an astronomically high burglary rate, precisely because the robbers know that their victims are unarmed. Fair play to this man for defending himself!.........
you mean the peasants can kill each other, but you just gotta know the fair princes and royals have men with GUNS to defend them....cause it’s just “different” for them, don’t you know.
Pathetic sheep island. Chances of going back to England ....zero. Most of the Irish are kick ass and can flat out have fun. Most of the really fun people from Great Britain I’ve met have been in Spain.
As far as self defense... that guy is a stud. 3 on 1 is a bad situation without a weapon. I think I’d keep a sword or bat around if I wasn’t able to keep a weapon. The last thing you want to use in a fight is your hands. I hope the other two decide that “Suicide is painless”.
Pretty sure swords are out as well, or at least must be kept inaccessible. Maybe a cricket bat you could get away with, but any obvious club is out in many jurisdictions as well. Anything that could be used as an offensive weapon. I don't recall which jurisdiction, but I got that "anything that could be used" right off of a UK police agency website.
It's not at all that bad if you avoid the urban areas where the muslums and unemployed prey on the unwary, but they're usually pretty good at spotting the difference between their sheep-people victims and visiting Yanks or off-duty soildiers who might be a bit too much of a handful. And even in London, things are pretty much allright if you pay attention to the local conditions in northside pubs and cafs.
But you've got a point that some of the best from Britain are those who've adventurously struck out elsewhere on vacation, for employment abroad, or are ex-pats. Of course, that was also true centuries ago when England's best took off, willingly or not, for new opportunities in North America and Australia.
