I think this is good advice. Also keep your hands out of your pockets - it sends out a more confident signal and you may need to use them to protect yourself.

I just saw this thread and felt the need to respond.....all kids are potential victims, whether they carry valuables or not...mugging is the new bullying, except now the bullies get a reward; a phone, an MP3,a watch, a wallet, a bike, a handbag. I don't agree that kids should just give up their valuables without a struggle unless they are totally outnumbered and without witnesses. Muggers now realise they can have anything they want because kids have been told not to struggle.....I don't know what the solution is, but the police need to be around when kids come out of school, ready to face these muggers and break the cycle......

A man came up to me just as I was opening my front door to tell me he'd just been mugged last night. I saw him standing on the opposite side of the road with two men as I pulled up but just parked the car and thought nothing of it. He came over and said they had just mugged him and may have got nasty if I hadn't have shown up when I did. I told him to report it to the police and offered to walk with him to the corner of the road. This was at junction of Goodrich Road and Barry Road - shakes you up a bit when its on your own doorstep!

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
