In his bestselling novel Shantaram the reformed heroin addict and
convicted armed robber Gregory David Roberts explains that the first
rule of street fighting is to “always get crazier than the other guy”.
By way of demonstration, he begins a seemingly unwinnable fight with
three prison guards by punching himself in the face, smearing his
forehead with his own blood and shouting: “You’ll get me, but one of
you will lose an eye. I’ll rip someone’s eye out with my fingers and
eat it! So come on, let’s go!” Unsurprisingly, the prison guards have
a change of heart. In politics this approach may now be known as the
Badenoch Method. To turn defence into attack with exhilarating force,
in a way that leaves absolutely no one safe.
