As the pensioner says "This is Britain gone mad."

I like this guy. What does “Yob, Britain” mean?

Britain has lost it’s marbles - collectively. This guy would be considered a hero in a more sane society.

Apparently, he did not get the 'message' when the "police" did not show up.
Forget England. It is toast.

I’m wondering if the “gang of teenagers” is a gang of Muslims.

'evil little toe-rags'
Is this slang, or an indication of ethnicity?

It’s Brit slang. “toe rag” is a derogatory term used mainly for lower class, ill-behaved white Britons. It has no ethnic slant.

There have been quite a few threads lately from the UK in which a crime is committed and when the police show up, they arrest the victim.
Their society is seriously falling apart.

“Great” Briton is finished and has been for some time.

I visited England a couple years ago. I found the practice of mobs of teenagers getting drunk at “clubs” reprehensible. Also, it would be a mistake to assume the local indigenous youth are not at fault here.

Everyday I’m reading more and more of England or someone from England doing something or saying something crazy like this. I have little hope for our own country at times, but with England I don’t think there’s any turning around. I’m going to start cataloging this craziness. I don’t know for what purpose, but it needs to be kept track of.

He grabbed a section of wood from a broken-up sofa lying in his front garden...

Those poor disadvantage kids were just expressing themselves freely and this violent old man chases them away with a deadly weapon! What happened to civility in Great Britain?

Basically, a yob is a thug in our speak. Usually a young, unemployed and prone to “mischief” youth.

Excellent idea! I look forward to your thread on this. It is truly cultural insanity.
But why doesn’t some Brit do this? Don’t they have a forum of their own where they discuss this or would the British thought police shut down the website?
To: marktwain
“Mr Davis, whose windows have been smashed five times in the last eight months, branded the law “a colossal ass”. He went on: “This is Britain gone mad.”
All that, and Britain has fools for leaders. Where did they come from?
