He he. I live in the U.K. If you don’t have a good reason, the tutting from others might increase to even audible levels, causing you endless social shame.

Imagine living on top of other people. They can look into your garden. They can see into your house. They are right next to you; on the trains, on the roads, in the tube. In that environment, the game of “who’s judging who” is strong. Welcome to the U.K.

I’m aware in the US, you don’t need a good reason to exercise your God Given Right to stand up when you God Damn Please and if anybody has any God Damn Thing to say to you, they better grab for the concealed carry.

But int he U.K., we we have swapped loaded firearms for social derision and it hurts almost as much as lead bullets.
