If I stay here I will end up in prison
So about 15/20 minutes ago when just popping out to the local shop which happens to be near what we call NAZI PUB I had a run in with a skin head. It was just posturing and a very dirty looks and trying to act Macho to the girl he was with. There was not any physical contact made. But hate and intimidation were clear, and it was also abundantly clear that had this been several hours later when no people around it could well have resulted in him going for me physically.
Should I find myself in that situation I have to assume I am literally fighting for my life because I likely am, which means no holding back whatever I need to do to disable the threat, which could put me in prison, this is assuming I win the fight if not I am dead literally. I am no longer safe in my area I could talk about moving but where? the whole UK seems antisemetic.

its nice to know where most of this forum stand though it was apparent long before now should I survive to get out of this country see you guys on the front....
I mean if I lose the fight I risk been killed there and then if I win the fight I have to explain my side to the police most likely and may end up been prosecuted with jail time and a criminal record.
Further even if I win the fight and the police investigating not only do not prosecute me but conclude it was completely fair self defence and prosecute the other side for racially aggravated assault, I still have to worry about their potential mates hunting me down for revenge which even if that never materialises I go through months of anxiety.
It is highly probable that there is no situation resulting from the fight where I end up better off then had I avoided the fight to begin with.
I think what you and others miss who make this point is sometimes walking away is not an option sometimes you cant escape and sometimes you cant outrun the guy or someone your with cant.
Then what? my point is I would always avoid a fight if I can but that is not always an option and should I be put in a situation where my life is on the line I will do what is necessary to try and preserve my own life.
You are either oversensitive to perceived threats or your body language sends wrong signals out to others.
You have to learn how not to be intimidated and move confidently without seeming hostile or arrogant. Obsequience is not the answer either as you'll just scream victim but a defferential respect with confidence is the answer.
Believe me, there is no place in the world that you could go where you won't experience the exact same feelings of fear and paranoia until you fix your mindset.
There are nutters and headcases in every village, town and city you either learn to live with the reality or you hide away forever.
I was brought up in a predominantly Jewish part of London. In my teens, I used to go to Redbridge Jewish Youth Club. Simply because I lived 10 minutes' walk away, and it was the best Youth Club. Some local neo-**** (as has been said) clearly are unable to spot a Goy, and made incorrect assumptions.
I had long hair as a teenager. As I was already starting to lose my hair, I decided to be a skinhead for a while. Where I promptly faced exactly the sort of prejudice that you clearly possess. Because (as in all walks of life) the majority are lovely people. Let down by a small minority. I found it very odd to experience exactly the sort of open hostility you clearly have towards skinheads.
I never judge people by their religion. The colour of their skin. Or the length of their hair. Try it. Because you just might find that hostility is a 2-way street.
