A MASSIVE, countrywide fist fight could be the solution to Britain’s problems, experts believe.
As the UK continues to be divided politically, socially and into hostile regions, sociologists believe a giant, consequence-free scrap could actually be beneficial to the national psyche.
Julian Cook of Reading University, said: “There’s nothing like a good punch-up to clear the air of all those lingering resentments. And it’s past time.
“Whether there’s a serious ongoing family problem or someone’s looked at you funny in a beer garden, statistically 74 per cent of fights end up with participants becoming best mates even if only for a few hours.
“Britain is beset with economic strife, civil disorder and poor customer service. How much easier would it be if the aggrieved parties could just knock the shit out of each other without tiresome legal ramifications?
“No weapons, just fists, 24 hours duration, and imagine the reconciliation that would follow. Violence is definitely the answer. Especially for the little, niggly things.”

“I would enjoy taking my frustrations with net zero and VAR out on someone. If it’s a graduate enraged by the high interest on their student loans, so much the better.”
