Jack Penate is hoping to recruit Kate Nash in his bid to stand up to people who wear hoodies, according to reports.
Penate – who was mugged in South London as a youngster - said that the ‘campaign’ will help people see that there is an alternative to violence.
“I was mugged a lot,” he told the Star. “I just seemed to attract violence. Kate and I are similar in spirit, we both have morals and good manners.
“We’re part of a new generation of young Brits with opinions and something positive to say, rather than using aggression.”
Penate added that it was music that helped him stay on the straight and narrow.
“A lot of my friends ended up being dicks, intimidating people in hoodies,” he says. “I stayed in, listened to music and had mini festivals in my garden.”

- I would mug him if I seen him

- ”If I seen him”? Great use of the English language there chump.

- I always thought you Brits had better manners than this. Give the guy a break. It’s obvious that you are ”hoodies” and can’t accept the fact that he has more talent and class (and money) than you. Get a job.

- Penate if you strike us down, we shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine...
