Seen that vid before, hilarious!
Social experiments are great. Get them out of their comfort zones lol
The scallies thing... just follow the rules you would with wild animals, territory, eye contact, don't flaunt things they might want etc and you're survival chances improve dramatically
You wander into a bar in Glasgow and say in a loud American accent "EXCUSE ME
CAN I USE YOUR BATHROOM PLEASE?" and you're gonna get jumped, like in "train spotting" lol (also don't go train spotting haha)
But if you keep your mouth shut and wear what the locals wear, in this case "trackies" and shave your head, you blend into your environment and are therefore accepted more readily and are theoretically safer. Usually
because if you spend any time in an area, you'll eventually plug into the local usually unspoken, but everyone knows it's there "hierarchy" and there's always some peanut who wants to test you. Then the other animal laws come into play. If you can't intimidate them, then fight or flight comes into play. Also tracksuits and short hair are survival gear on a lot of estates. You can't run in jeans as easily as tracksuits, which may save your life and long hair can be grabbed hold of.
Kids now know if you look weak you're going to be victimised, so they don't stand out, conform to the group and try to be seen as hard, out of fear. Scallies and skinheads could be seen as scum, but mostly they haven't got the option not to be like that, or they'd just get stomped. That cycle needs to be broken or this country will burn. Remove the ringleaders, bullies, dealers and give the kids coming up a chance to breathe and be themselves and give them decent, strong role models.
Rambling haha I just hate seeing my country fall apart. Part of the reason I think learning Bushcraft isn't just a good idea, it's vital.
