i'm not talking about self defense desu, carrying a knife is illegal. i carried something at least when i lived in the sticks, long empty roads etc. but not a city ffs, in a city there is people around you who will call police etc. this whole knife shit in london really baffles me, where i lived it was not bad but there is always the potential some idiots are out looking for an easy target.  where i lived i'd sometimes walk like 3 miles to a local store at night and yeah i'd carry a tool because you never know in those lonely fields at night... but it was only to get off one or two hits to deter never to kill, so just a screw driver to the stomach or something. its crazy i talk about it actually, its the rampant use of knives in the cites that concerns me, you do not need it, they have cctv and there are people about so you have to be a faggot to carry in that case.
