"A disturbing new study finds that a growing number of British men consider carrying knives a legitimate response to both potential threats and lack of police protection. The majority of respondents to a survey conducted by researchers from Flinders University in Australia and Lancaster University in the UK viewed those who didn’t pack knives as irresponsible and deserving of any violence they experienced."

Rules of Engagement for Pub Brawls: 1) Upon taking umbrage at a real or perceived slight, inquire of the offending party: "Oi! Got a knife, then?" 2a) If yes, wait till his back is turned, then stab him. 2b) If no, stab him immediately.
Potential threats = everybody else
