THE GLASSING CAPITAL OF THE WORLD
February 09, 2010
by ANDY CAPPER
Drunk British people love smashing things into each other’s face so much that somebody has invented a new pint glass that won’t break even if you plunge it into some poor cunt’s face at 2 AM in the street outside a bar where you can get triple shots of spirits for £5. How much do Brits like me love casual acts of extreme violence? Well here’s something to take into account: There are 87,000 deliberate glassings a year in the UK, which is roughly 4,000 more glassings than America has gunshots, both intentional AND accidental.
If any non-Brits out there are shaking their heads in disbelief about the veracity of our barbarism, you can come out with me on a night out in any town or city you choose to name and see for yourselves why this happens.
