Items bizarrely enough which are often not illegal to sell in the UK but may be to use! You can find almost anything on the internet but items such as marker sprays (genrally considered legal) can be mixed in with Tazor guns and black jacks Related subject - also be aware of overly complicated martial arts moves, the speed fear and adrenalin factor involved in an attack makes a lot of these moves impractical Also you can make your own protection, get a squirty bottle of window cleaner, empty it, buy several scotch bonnet (or stronger) chillis, chop them up and mix with water in the bottle, no one will keep attacking you if you spray them in the eyes with that.
Trust me. Also it will keep its strength if you add some sort of preservative, maybe salt.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
