A local thug is seen hurling abuse at a man on his doorstep and trying to goad him into a fight – unaware his ‘victim’ knows Martial arts. The ‘victim’ here is Jason Smith, who is a Gulf War Veteran with two black belts. Les Andrews, 23, is the local thug/yob.

Jason, who has been a bodyguard to stars, had no idea why local “hard nut” Les Andrews stood on his step ranting and raving in St Helens, Merseyside, while his mate Alan Hodson looked on.

He decked him with a single blow. Wife Rebecca, 23, who had cowered with 22-month daughter Boudicca said: “I was proud.”

Les Andrews was arrested and hit with a curfew for yobbery.

Jason said of becoming a web sensation: “People sick of yob culture enjoy seeing someone turn the tables.”

If you’re unsure, a Yob is the antithesis of what a good boy should be – rude, obnoxious, violent and stupid. Formed by spelling ‘boy’ backwards, it was coined in England in the 18th century as it was very popular amongst upper classes to speak backwards at the time.

Those who are bullies in childhood often continue to be bullies as adults. The victims of adult bullying may find little or no sympathy from their co-workers, friends and family members. After all, we are big now; we should not let silly things like bullying bother us. Or should we?

Much time and effort are spent trying to discover what motivates a person to bully others, especially in childhood, where this type of behaviour usually begins. On-the-spot amateur psychology, however, probably won’t spare you any hurt when a bully comes to call. Remember that, if you find yourself the victim of bullying, a bully’s bad behaviour is entirely his or her responsibility, not yours, no matter what the bully may tell you.
