Modern duels.

No, this didn't take place in the sugar cane plantations of the USA's deep South, but in London's Hyde Park.

I won't say what 'cultural group' these people come from, but I will warn you to be very careful when encountering young men wearing either black or pale grey track suits, masks, and hoodies. And keep away from S E London; and various other inner cities.

It has now become VERY common for such folk to carry Machetes, hidden down their trousers. They not only attack 'their own', but will randomly attack 'locals' too.

I was reading in The Guardian about a 'Machete Duel' in Battersea, between a couple of these lads, and decided to look on YouTube for a video. I was amazed to find that there were loads on offer. It seems that certain young men often fight these duels; no doubt over their drug businesses.

They take place in daylight, in open ground, at popular places (such as Hyde Park, above). Onlookers are terrified, but can do nothing. 

It seems that such behaviour has become part of everyday S E London life. It's not surprising that native Londoners are leaving their city for good! Who could blame them!

                                              

I have just been listening to our 'Justice Minister' (on the radio). He was describing all the current problems these people are causing. Drugs, phone thefts, people smuggling, antisemitism attacks, and general crimes and misbehaviour; his answer was the standard 'we need more bobbies on the beat'. 

With far too few policemen in the UK, I think we'll have to call in The Army to help-out. Everything is getting out of hand.

p.s. These videos aren't the worst I could have shown you. Most are too horrific, but be warned anyway.
