U.K.: Royal Air Force told not to wear uniforms in public to avoid "verbal abuse"

Jihad Watch reader E.B. notes that Peterborough has a significant "Asian" population- the British media term for people from the Middle East and subcontinent.

They should have done the exact opposite:

WEAR YOUR UNIFORMS EVERYWHERE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

You counter threats with strength.
