UPDATE: We've got a good lead on who the main culprit could be, there may even be cctv footage from one of the houses on the street. Thank you for all your kind messages, after thinking about it, I shouldn't have let them wind me up so much and stood my ground but stayed there watching them until the police came. I am usually a very placid person but I was really upset that he threatened Helen with violence. It's a good job I wasn't fit enough to catch him as I could've been the one who ended up in trouble.
@@skidy2 that exists but look at the old guy who stabbed a pondlife then had to move due to traveller threats. He paid the price. Rozzers are useless in the uk now. Its a weak weak liberal country fed by our vampired society by evil politicans
As a kid I kicked my football through a old guy's window(totally accidently) Within five minutes of getting home the local Bobby was at our house,he gave me a right telling off, my dad gave me a smack around my head,how times have changed, and not for the better, was 50 years ago when the police did what they were paid for.
In our town a bunch of kids, 6 or 8, used to come onto the green and cause trouble. This is an area of grass surrounded by houses. It went on for months, and they did some bad stuff. One night they were smashing a park bench. But they were in for a shock. All at once, about 80 residents of the surrounding houses came out and surrounded the kids. ⅔s of them were women. They laid into these young lads, shouting and gesturing (there was no physical violence) but they gave them a really unpleasant time. The kids were totally surrounded and just had to take it for 15, 20 minutes. Needless to say, the residents had prearranged everything with a telephone network and the operation was planned to the second. Result ? Those kids went, and they never came back. We 'average citizens' don't realize our power.
Personally think you should have taken the kids back to where they live and had a quiet word with their parents, shit kids have parents that don’t care what they are up to

I've lived in Singapore since 1997. I despair at what is happening in Britain. I spend alot of time in Japan and it's a place l feel at home. Little crime, polite people and clean. It rubs off on you and makes you feel proud of your country instead of ashamed.
@@bythecurb Japan is very different to what people expect. Surprisingly it's quite low tech compared to China which l like as it makes life easier. I recently got back from Hokkaido, Nagasaki and Okinawa. Geographically it's like going from the north to the south.
We've just had a few days in Singapore before heading to Vietnam as part of two week holiday and we were so impressed at the drive for common decency and good standards in Singapore. I travel to Eastern Europe and the Balkans a lot too and nowhere seems to have undisciplined ferals and scallies like the UK does!
People say walk away and try and ignore them but if you do that it empowers them and your actually more likely to get attacked as they see it as weakness
A pal of mine with a fearsome reputation did just that in his village. Two delinquents were terrorising an old guy and they were taken for a trip in the woods one evening. They didnt get hurt but they knew how much he could hurt them if he wanted to. That was enough.
I got bullied at school. I used to feel like a failure but as an adult I know how to deal with situations. Ps your wife is very lucky to have a real man stand up for her ❤
a real man would avoid the situation stay safe in a side street and call police, and not get involved in a stupid alternation with a large group of feral youths who will overpower 2 people
I’m a Sheffield lass and I’m sorry you met up with those young a******s. Sadly the time when neighbours knew each other and looked out for one another has almost gone it’s a changed world but it’s good to hear that something good came out of your bad experience hopefully their lives will be better now the ice is broken and they know they’re not alone, so we’ll done lad.
That’s what we’re missing… strong Yorkshire men that stand up and fight back!! I’m so glad you’re both ok but well done for standing up for Helen and protecting her. Just a shame it was women that came out and not the men of the household. There’s no repercussions now for kids.
I agree but unfortunately when people stand up to them very often they get stabbed or kicked to death . This is the society we live in now . We need to take our streets back but I don’t know how !
rubbish, he put her into danger by getting involved, he could have gone into a well lit side street and called police. My bf would do that, avoiding conflict is safer than being dead or stuck in hospital. be clever about it, why go into danger knowing one will be outnumbeed and perhaps it could go wrong and you would get into trouble,
We also need to remember that as we age some of us develop selective hearing, conveniently not hearing what we don't want to hear. It's the same with our memories. I was in my teens in the late 50's early 60's, I seem to remember teen gangs then, First it was the 'Teddy boys' Chains and knuckle dusters were their favourite weapons. Then we had the Mods and Rockers, motor bikes versus scooters, terrorising the nearest seaside town every weekend, although most of their violence was aimed at each other. We had bovver boys, then as the American drug culture moved in and cannabis took hold, we had the arty farty types we called Bohemians, mainly Art students, draping themselves half comatosed all over everything, they then became hippies and beatniks, moving in droves from festival to demonstrations ,spreading free love ,among other things. It was all work avoidance and still is. So really, what is new except that then as now we can add a sprinkling of racial overtones to the mix. Before the war there was no cult of the young. When boys went into long trousers they became a man, when girls put on a bra they became small versions of their parents. Some kids have terrible lives that can only be described as feral, with terrible conveyer belt education, unfortunately that gets worse instead of better. Kids like the Police are a reflection of the society they come from.

my friend is schizophrenic and during some episodes he tattooed himself everywhere with crazy stuff in his mind lot of dark stuff, but if you know him hes friendly lol
I’m Scottish but had a similar experience many years ago in the Meadowhall Centre, a group of youths walking 5 or 6 abreast not moving for anyone. Me being me wasn’t having any of it and just walked through them, I got a bit of abuse and just smiled, said a couple of words then, having heard my accent, got the big brave Jock taunts. They didn’t hang around when I turned and walked back towards them. Such a shame that things like this happen anywhere including Sheffield, I used to visit that city regularly and it’s full of lovely down to earth people. Glad you’re both unharmed and totally understand your initial reaction to these animals.
I confronted someone not long ago, they were on my property, lost my cool, I chased them caught up with them - I ended up being threatened with retaliation. Long story short - they followed me when I'd leave the house, break stuff on my property to get me to come out so they could attack me. I had to move in the end, I would have been stabbed. It ain't worth it, I do understand the anger when being wronged though
This very thing happened to me and my wife some years back. Luckly my Dad taught us how to hunt and lets say that the biggest lesson we learned was that your prey is a creature of habit. Two months after the incident and some insistent surveillance I found out where the main instigator lived and I managed to get a photo of him without his "face gear" on. I printed several pictures of his smug gob and posted them on walls where they hung out. I watched as they arrived and it was sweet to watch the panic as he and his buds tried to come to terms with his mug shot taken outside his own door with the words 'Mabey not today but perhaps tomorrow' written on the back of each photo. I watched their gathering spot in our neighbourhood over the next month and for some strange reason the group of road boys had disappeared.
My dad was apart of a neighbour watch (vigilante) 😂 group n the 80s/early 90s when communities sorted out their own issues these lil mouthpieces are usually cowards pack mentality bring back the old skool way!! Glad you an Helen are good ❤
100% agree with you about communities pulling together. I abhor bullying in any way, shape or form. Well done for standing up to them (but also you have to be careful). Giving you and Helen a big thumbs up!
he wasn't careful, he went into danger which would antagonise them, he should have gone into a side st and call police. it is riduclous they wanted a rise and they got it. stupid to get into a confrontation over names. much more powerful to not watch them obviously walk away and call police. it is no point speaking to stupid mindless gasighting youths
A good news story. Finally. It restores ny faith in human nature a bit. I don't think you were meant to video it, I think you meant to live it, experience it. The entire situation may have been totally different had you filmed it. Heartwarming that it brought people together.
You did what any proper man would do , protect the one you love. Lucky its all turned out for the good could have been all so different , you accessed the situation in the moment and did right thing . Easy to do nothing and thats why the countrys in the state its in. Well done guys . Have beer when your out . love you both.❤❤❤
Your absolutely right. If more ppl stood up for what's right then these idiots would think twice. Never let them get away with it. Well done mate for standing up for Ur lass
Glad you are both ok James & Helen. I'd have done the same pal, don't beat yourself up about it. Good to see the ladies of Sheffield still have some good British neighborly values. Good on them lasses. Take care guys 🤣❤
I went through Police Training in 1965. We were told if you are attacked in the street ,expect no assistance apart from Granny's wielding heavy handbags.
Love your old-school morals, James. I'm not an aggressive man either, but you were bang-on protecting the one you love. In your boots, I'd of done exactly the same. What's the bloody world coming to?
he saw them, but chose to watch them. then confront them. he got baited, they got a rise. he should have walked away and reported them to police. who would go into danger?
I am from elgin in the northeast of scotland and last week a poor bus driver was killed by an out of control 15 yr old who battered him and he died the following day unfortuneately, these little thugs need to be properly dealt with, how sad when a man goes to work but does'nt come home due to the actions of an undisciplined kid
I can see how that’s affected you & I’m not surprised! So glad it wasn’t worse & someone was injured. I hate those types. Well done for highlighting it, you’re a good man. Take care! 👍
Ffs... im so sorry to hear this james . Your doin right to talk about it.. if its ignored its almost like excepting it as normal behaviour.. just glad you and helen are ok ... take care and enjoy ya weekend ❤🥰
So sad to hear but you did the right thing challenging these pond lifes . I'm so pleased I live now in a sleepy little village in Spain never have to worry or anything like that anymore .
Young people can make decisions which drastically change their futures. We saw it here in Dublin with the recent riots. Recreational violence can result in convictions that seriously curtail employability and educational opportunities. Main thing is yourself and Helen came through unscathed. Fair play for speaking out.
Omg I hope you's two ok little scrots!!! I hope it makes their parents proud , thats if they know what they're up to ?? National service !!! Brought back for all juvenile miss doings !!! Take care xx
I'm glad to hear you're both safe. How awful. "Community is powerful" but sadly we've had years of community being systematically destroyed. It started with Thatcher but we're paying the price. 😔
Thing is they'll do it one day and get belted and the parents will be appealing dor information if they're hospitalised claiming their kids are saints , most parents unfortunately dont have a clue what goes on .
Glad you and Helen are alright. Those situations can go horribly wrong in an instant or a show of calm "force" can sometimes defuse the incident before emotional momentum takes it to the point of no return. No easy answers and no "one size fits all" remedy will be useful except to the armchair generals. Glad it was just emotionally stressful for you both.
Thank you 🤗 First time seeing your channel. Love your energy and the message you are putting out. Glad you posted about this. Much love from Scotland ♥️🏴♥️
So glad you posted this and also glad there is an upside to this awful experience. It shows just how important it is to have a supportive community and it's people like yourself who are 'on the ground' that will initiate change. Well done and glad you're OK :)
Glad you and your good lady survived that incident. Go careful out there, my wife and I, having lived in South Africa have had to move around the cities etc. with eyes 360 degrees to ensure safety, it appears the UK is getting as bad as SA. IT is good to you both are okay.
Sorry you both and the people who lived in the street had to go through that. Take care and avoid any altercations if you can. They are not worth it. Stay safe 🙏
Oh dear, oh dear. So sorry to hear this James it’s so wrong. Poor Helen. Viewing the UK from afar (Spain) it seems to be so troublesome and dangerous. I wish you both a speedy recovery from this awful experience.
Mate - great video - first of yours I've seen. You seem like a really decent bloke - good to hear you are all safe and well, and even better to hear you made some friends in the process.
Hi I’ve just come upon your channel. Well done for standing your ground. Please be careful some do carry knifes. I So glad your neighbours have teamed up this needs to happen all over the country. So glad your both ok
The bulldog spirit ♥️ Great to see some of us still have it. Fair play to you, your Mrs & the residents for sticking up for what's right 👏 We need more of that!!
Wherever a sense of community has been lost it needs to be re-founded from the bottom up, it's the only way to affect the wider stage, encouraging story thank you.
This has happened to me..and probably alot of people throught the UK..I don;t know the answer to it...glad you two are ok...don;t let it play on your mind..always stand up and be counted...well done...you have made a difference for that little community...
This a lovely message of community for you, we should all look out for our neighbors. I'm happy the situation didn't get too dangerous for you and nobody was seriously hurt. I was surprised to hear how quick the police response was. It is human nature to react in emotional situations, but it can happen less when we put our pride into perspective. Pride can get you killed. I'm all for standing up for myself and my friends and fighting injustice. But sometimes it is better to walk away from certain incidents, for you can put your loved ones in more danger by challenging or escalating potentially dangerous youths with stones and maybe they had even more deadly weapons on them. Great to hear all the ladies coming out to support ;-)
Proud of you for making sure your lass was,nt spoken to like that and for encouraging others to atleast talk about looking after your neighbours and community. Wishing the absolute best , good health and happiness to you and your loved ones.
Well Done you two for standing up to these youths👏👏👏, glad you're both ok. Just how many see you next Tuesday did you use 😉😂😂😂 It's a pity some people's idea of parenting has led to this. Really good end result neighbours now talking to each and getting to know each other
You're right, its all about community and neighbours, and so it transpired that good came out of a bad situation, at the end. Good on you matey, all was well and you are both safe. You are a top notch chap, take care both of you.
Good on you doing what you had to do,stand up for your Lady.This lawless country we are turning into will have to change, keep the faith bro it will change soon.Blessings to you your family and friends and associates 😎✌️🇬🇧
Good message here. Yes, neighborhood watch! Where I grew up the families are still doing it with a website and so if they see anything going on they post it and ask if anyone knows anything about a certain person or happening. We also had a specific couple who walked the neighborhood several times a day to check things out. Good to hear you and Helen weren't hurt.
We have lost the community spirit in this country it was very important .People need to stand together and fight the demise of our communities . The government is useless
The problem is that people don't challenge bad behaviour anymore. I do and always have. It resulted in being fire bombed in my own home. The police didn't arrest any of the gang. Glad you had a better experience
Nasty situation James,and very pleased to hear you both got out unscathed. My outlook is similar to yours but at my age I'd have to do a fast limp to catch him 😊 I can imagine that pint tasted sweet when you got to the pub 👍👍
UPDATE: We've got a good lead on who the main culprit could be, there may even be cctv footage from one of the houses on the street. Thank you for all your kind messages, after thinking about it, I shouldn't have let them wind me up so much and stood my ground but stayed there watching them until the police came.

Just come across your channel. What a lovely chap you are. Can’t beat Yorkshire folk. Salt of the Earth. Take care.
Thank you
You did what any proper man would do , protect the one you love.
Lucky its all turned out for the good could have been all so different , you accessed the situation in the moment and did right thing .
Easy to do nothing and thats why the countrys in the state its in.
Well done guys . Have beer when your out . love you both.❤❤❤
Thank you so much John, I'll get us a couple of beers this weekend mate ❤🙂
There parents must be the lowest of the low too.🤬 stay safe you two xx❤❤
Probably only the mother on the scene.
Community coming together and standing up for themselves
Your absolutely right. If more ppl stood up for what's right then these idiots would think twice. Never let them get away with it. Well done mate for standing up for Ur lass
Glad you are both ok James & Helen. I'd have done the same pal, don't beat yourself up about it.
Good to see the ladies of Sheffield still have some good British neighborly values. Good on them lasses.
Take care guys 🤣❤
I went through Police Training in 1965. We were told if you are attacked in the street ,expect no assistance apart from Granny's wielding heavy handbags.
Love your old-school morals, James. I'm not an aggressive man either, but you were bang-on protecting the one you love. In your boots, I'd of done exactly the same. What's the bloody world coming to?
he saw them, but chose to watch them. then confront them. he got baited, they got a rise. he should have walked away and reported them to police. who would go into danger?
I am from elgin in the northeast of scotland and last week a poor bus driver was killed by an out of control 15 yr old who battered him and he died the following day unfortuneately, these little thugs need to be properly dealt with, how sad when a man goes to work but does'nt come home due to the actions of an undisciplined kid
That is so horrible. Stories like this, make me think twice about having kids.
I can see how that’s affected you & I’m not surprised! So glad it wasn’t worse & someone was injured. I hate those types. Well done for highlighting it, you’re a good man. Take care! 👍
Ffs... im so sorry to hear this james . Your doin right to talk about it.. if its ignored its almost like excepting it as normal behaviour.. just glad you and helen are ok ... take care and enjoy ya weekend ❤🥰
You hit the nail right on the head most of these youths are school kids and NEED to know their boundaries
The world needs more men like you!
Also my son was nearly mugged and the people in the flats were shouting out their windows so they ran off. Communities need to come together!
We love watching you in Canada (from Nottingham originally). You guys are real!!! We love Helen! 🥰
Thank you 🙂
So sad to hear but you did the right thing challenging these pond lifes . I'm so pleased I live now in a sleepy little village in Spain never have to worry or anything like that anymore .
Young people can make decisions which drastically change their futures. We saw it here in Dublin with the recent riots. Recreational violence can result in convictions that seriously curtail employability and educational opportunities. Main thing is yourself and Helen came through unscathed. Fair play for speaking out.
Good on you for standing up to these idiots, we need more like you
The great British public in action .
Well said Mucka.
Look out for each other.
Top lad ✊🏻
If you take photos for evidence then you get people saying 'you shouldn't take photos of children'.
Kids today know that they're untouchable.
Only if we let them think that.
Omg I hope you's two ok little scrots!!! I hope it makes their parents proud , thats if they know what they're up to ?? National service !!! Brought back for all juvenile miss doings !!! Take care xx
Your a very brave man protecting your wife from these vile thugs!
How much longer are we going to put up with these ferel thugs!
So sorry to hear this news. Yes I think the answer is 'unity in the community'....I think this might be the name for it. 😊
I'm glad to hear you're both safe. How awful. "Community is powerful" but sadly we've had years of community being systematically destroyed. It started with Thatcher but we're paying the price. 😔
It didn't Starr with thatcher you fucking idiot it started with Tony Blair
...legal system destroys fathers and effective consequences.
Sorry you had to go through that. You and Helen are really nice people.
Don’t apologise mate your a good man! ❤
Thing is they'll do it one day and get belted and the parents will be appealing dor information if they're hospitalised claiming their kids are saints , most parents unfortunately dont have a clue what goes on .
No you will unfortunately end up behind bars
@@bossman1905 not in my city , its lawless at times 🙉
Glad you and Helen are alright. Those situations can go horribly wrong in an instant or a show of calm "force" can sometimes defuse the incident before emotional momentum takes it to the point of no return. No easy answers and no "one size fits all" remedy will be useful except to the armchair generals. Glad it was just emotionally stressful for you both.
Thank you for posting this. Take care ❤️❤️
Thank you 🤗 First time seeing your channel. Love your energy and the message you are putting out. Glad you posted about this. Much love from Scotland ♥️🏴♥️
Hope you guys are OK!
Thank you, we are ok
Good for you standing up glad you're ok
You're a good man, Your the kind of man who I would gladly support and what has come out of this was down to your intervention and that's a positive.
So glad you posted this and also glad there is an upside to this awful experience. It shows just how important it is to have a supportive community and it's people like yourself who are 'on the ground' that will initiate change. Well done and glad you're OK :)
You done well my friend. Well respect from ⚒️
Glad youre both ok, what is this world coming to? Have a good weekend James and Helen ❤
Thanks Sandra
I live in Enniskillen N.Ireland. We have a neighbourhood watch. Its all about community I agree 🫡👍
Ulster a colonial Empire
@@jameswright2974 And what's your point apart from being an idiot?
@@jameswright2974 Bitter old man... it's people like you have many stuck in the past. Let go of your bitterness and maybe you will get yourself a life
@@thetopcat8946 bitter old men like me That Will destroy the colonial empire And our children you givebchildre

Hope you & Helen are ok you are such a genuine guy I only just started watching your Chanel on Helen’s stay strong keep safe 🙏
Glad you and your good lady survived that incident. Go careful out there, my wife and I, having lived in South Africa have had to move around the cities etc. with eyes 360 degrees to ensure safety, it appears the UK is getting as bad as SA. IT is good to you both are okay.
Sorry you both and the people who lived in the street had to go through that. Take care and avoid any altercations if you can. They are not worth it. Stay safe 🙏
This is great silver lining kind of story. We need more positive stories like this. Subbed. Thank you.
Well done for doing what you did. You've brought people together too. Glad you are ok.
So so sorry to hear your expierance my friend you and Helen don't deserve that I feel for Helen
Must have been so
Frightening for her
Take care lots ❤
Oh dear, oh dear. So sorry to hear this James it’s so wrong. Poor Helen. Viewing the UK from afar (Spain) it seems to be so troublesome and dangerous. I wish you both a speedy recovery from this awful experience.
Mate - great video - first of yours I've seen. You seem like a really decent bloke - good to hear you are all safe and well, and even better to hear you made some friends in the process.
Top man, geezer. Everything you’ve said here is absolutely spot on. I’m giving you a massive cyber handshake. 🤝
Sorry to see that you and your partner went through this experience this is Tory Britain for you.
Well done boyo, protect your misses and yourself at all cost , hope you are both ok , blessings from Wales 🏴
Hi I’ve just come upon your channel. Well done for standing your ground. Please be careful some do carry knifes. I
So glad your neighbours have teamed up this needs to happen all over the country. So glad your both ok
The bulldog spirit ♥️ Great to see some of us still have it. Fair play to you, your Mrs & the residents for sticking up for what's right 👏 We need more of that!!
Good lad look after yourselves do whats right and defend you both. keep it up mate x
The only thing they understand is pain and plenty of it 😮
That is what we all need to do, support and look out for each other in our communities.
Well done, fella, good on you.
Standing up for whats right is important, and the community have come together, its the way forward
Wherever a sense of community has been lost it needs to be re-founded from the bottom up, it's the only way to affect the wider stage, encouraging story thank you.
This has happened to me..and probably alot of people throught the UK..I don;t know the answer to it...glad you two are ok...don;t let it play on your mind..always stand up and be counted...well done...you have made a difference for that little community...
This a lovely message of community for you, we should all look out for our neighbors.
I'm happy the situation didn't get too dangerous for you and nobody was seriously hurt.
I was surprised to hear how quick the police response was.
It is human nature to react in emotional situations, but it can happen less when we put our pride into perspective.
Pride can get you killed. I'm all for standing up for myself and my friends and fighting injustice.
But sometimes it is better to walk away from certain incidents, for you can put your loved ones in more danger by challenging or escalating potentially dangerous youths with stones and maybe they had even more deadly weapons on them. Great to hear all the ladies coming out to support ;-)
Proud of you for making sure your lass was,nt spoken to like that and for encouraging others to atleast talk about looking after your neighbours and community. Wishing the absolute best , good health and happiness to you and your loved ones.
That could have been a very different out outcome fellow, I’ve been in the same situation…..think twice if it happens again.Stay safe 👍
Well Done you two for standing up to these youths👏👏👏, glad you're both ok. Just how many see you next Tuesday did you use 😉😂😂😂 It's a pity some people's idea of parenting has led to this. Really good end result neighbours now talking to each and getting to know each other
You're right, its all about community and neighbours, and so it transpired that good came out of a bad situation, at the end. Good on you matey, all was well and you are both safe. You are a top notch chap, take care both of you.
Sorry to hesr about your altercation glad to hear you are both ok.
Good on you doing what you had to do,stand up for your Lady.This lawless country we are turning into will have to change, keep the faith bro it will change soon.Blessings to you your family and friends and associates 😎✌️🇬🇧
Good message here. Yes, neighborhood watch! Where I grew up the families are still doing it with a website and so if they see anything going on they post it and ask if anyone knows anything about a certain person or happening. We also had a specific couple who walked the neighborhood several times a day to check things out. Good to hear you and Helen weren't hurt.
Thank you, neighbourhood patrols is a good idea
We have lost the community spirit in this country it was very important .People need to stand together and fight the demise of our communities . The government is useless
Stay safe both of u ☺️
Ooh heck that’s awful,glad you are both ok. (Would love to drop a big cartoon net down & scoop em up)
Good story James, you are a top bloke, give Helen our best.love you both.xxx Sam+Jen.🌹so glad you didn't get hurt,Take care.🍻👍
Thank you, will do
Come up to the Dales and live here guys. See you there! Completely agree with your response. These are sad times 😢
Fair play to you my friend. We need more guys like you. 👍
Terrible james to go through a ordeal like that,, glad you both are ok ❤
Wise words,good work mate . But yeah be careful. A lot of these kids are either carrying or it’ll be stashed in a bush nearby
The problem is that people don't challenge bad behaviour anymore. I do and always have. It resulted in being fire bombed in my own home. The police didn't arrest any of the gang. Glad you had a better experience
I am with you mate, great video, these things people need to know
I'm fully behind you, you don't allow anybody to disrespect your partner and you should always stand up to bullies, well done
I was taught to always stand up to bullies and it has always served me well, they usually back down.
Nasty situation James,and very pleased to hear you both got out unscathed. My outlook is similar to yours but at my age I'd have to do a fast limp to catch him 😊 I can imagine that pint tasted sweet when you got to the pub 👍👍
It really did 😂
Nice one James, great video. I imagine that pint went down well x
Great video mate....you're a brave man.
