When you have no argument, post a meme in an attempt to deflect

It falls a bit flat when the grammar is wrong.

I actually stepped in to save them from getting a hiding...

Perfectly acceptable

Perfectly acceptable

The bit that you've snipped out of the original sentence does make sense.
Because the object has been changed from " a few of them" to the latter "them".

The original sentence did not make sense:

... I remember people like this at school and even down the pub a few of them I actually stepped in to save them from getting a hiding...

In the words of English for Dummies, The "I" is the subject, the verb is "stepped in", and the object, the ones receiving the action of being "stepped in" is "a few of them".

Strip out all the superfluous words, and you're left with "a few of them I stepped in", If the "them" was referring to puddles, or cowpats, it would be fine. But referring to "people like this", it's nonsense.
