What kind of coward takes their clothes off and hands them to someone else? I'll wear mine thanks. Those englishmen are a little lacking.
I had the same thought.. even with my living over there for a few years, I still can't understand why the brits put up with the crap that goes on in their country..
and putting it into words is even harder... but I'll try..
in the UK,.. if a thug robs you and you fight back,.. you as likely to be charged with assault as the thug.. and then sued..
if a thug breaks into your house, and god forbid gets hurt.. he can sue you.. and shockingly often wins.
the police tread lightly when dealing with thugs.. and are often non confrontational..
so you end up with a lawless underclass and those who abide by the law are unsure of their rights..
punishment for the thugs who do commit crimes is often reduced due to overpopulating the existing jails.. so most thugs even if they get convicted are just released..
so in reality you have a cowering law-abiding class, and an emboldened thug class..
a bit like California will end up like in twenty or so years..
the sad fact is Europe has become to civilized,.. and the nanny state is in disarray..
so when an skinny white guy is confronted by a large thug.. he can either, fight, (and risk jail or worse) run.. or give up... UK society has trained him to give up.. and the thugs know this..
I am not defending him giving up his clothes and dignity.. just trying to explain why the Brits choose to cower instead of fighting back..
