Brit here. I think this is the right place to post. I need to prepare to go out in my own streets now, from tomorrow morning I will have to regard every single trip as a combat patrol and expect to be robbed, attacked and potentially raped.

For those who don't know England is being flooded with Romanian Gypsies and Bulgarians. My main concern is with the gypsies. What should I take to protect myself and my items when I go out, or good deterrents. I am thinking of getting a leg money holder, what are they called? Recommend any good ones?

Also other gear and advice?
