NF: Sick of England's retarded drink and violence culture, no wonder I'm becoming completely tee-total.
My brother was attacked in a pub by some dickhead drunk last night who decided he didn't like the look of him and his friends. This guy came up to their table and said 'you're all a bunch of fucking wankers' and then gave them all the finger, so they all realised he was drunk and ignored him. He then started talking into his phone saying 'yeah, I'm looking at a bunch of twats right now', then looked at my brother and said 'you giving me dirty looks?' and without thinking backhanded him across the face, knocking him out of his chair. When my brother stood up and said he didn't want any trouble, the guy was drunk and to go calm down, the guy wrapped his hand around his throat so he couldn't breathe. My bro pulled this guys hand off his throat so the guy dug his fingernails in, and my bro has nasty scratches running across his neck. Then the fucking barman says to my brother 'did you start this?' despite being in view of the whole scene, and because the barman knows this fuckface, it isn't his fault and no-one will tell him otherwise. One of my brother's friends ran off to get the police coz this guy picked up a bottle and was about to smash it, the guy saw it, dropped the bottle and said 'oh, don't tell the police man, I'm in enough trouble with them as it is'. Because Luke was so stunned and disorientated by the whole thing (as I know I would've been), he didn't talk to the police about it, he just left.
I am so fucking sick of this country, I have never lived anywhere where the culture of drinking too much and then hurting people for the joy of hurting has not only been so accepted, but appreciated by the average man in the street. I am horrified about thinking what would have happened if this guy had been with friends and decided to play trampoline on someone's head. I just want out, because this is becoming an ever-increasing problem in England. As soon as I get my degree, I'm going onto pastures new. Anyone got a place to recommend to me?
