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?

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...

Garden decor that will get you arrested ping.

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?

“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?

Me thinks I’d smuggle a gun into jolly ole England, if I were to live there.

No need to call police.
No need to hang around after “resolving” these encounters.

“...used a piece of wood...”


Was it a pointed stick?

And, a demonstration of gun control taken to the extreme. First the firearms, then the swords and knives. Ultimately, simple, utilitarian clubs become ‘offensive weapons’. Simply ridiculous, IMO.

The UK has fallen over the edge and into the PC, Multi-Culti crevasse, sadly. A once proud nation; reduced to an anachronism, sadly funny in its continued pomposity, and destined to historical obscurity if it continues on the present course.

More unfortunately, the US is on the same path, in my view.

When pieces of wood are outlawed, only outlaws will have pieces of wood.

After reading a story like this, I don't know how anyone can oppose sensible, common-sense piece-of-wood registration...

This is what happens when you let hard core socialists run your country for a number of years.
