Seems like you get a bit of a buzz over violenceMiddlesborogh are very upset with coming second and have invited us to fight for it!
It's called a joke you know, ha ha. Not one of my best I'll grant you.Seems like you get a bit of a buzz over violence
No it wasn'tIt's called a joke you know, ha ha. Not one of my best I'll grant you.
So you're anti violence but screaming for state sanctioned violence in the Alabama thread that was you I think, I wasn't concentrating. I couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding these days sadly.No it wasn't

As a population percentage, London will be lower. You've been reading too much Daily Fail coverageI assume London wasn’t included in the poll then
I laughed.No it wasn't
Thought you mightI laughed.
Good point, not only do we have our resident psycho's we have everybody el;se's on holiday here.Comparing a town of 140,000 with a transient population of maybe 18 million to one where the population is stable simply makes no sense.
Most of whom want to get pissed. Never a good recipe for reducing violence.Good point, not only do we have our resident psycho's we have everybody el;se's on holiday here.
Are you thick or what, when has London been a town. Numerous murders recently, stabbing on Claremont, loads of antisocial behaviour reported, drug crime on increase, the lists are endless. We are top for a reason, if they included holiday makers we would be nowhere near top.I assume London wasn’t included in the poll then
I presume all those thousands of Stags/hens and groups of young people who come on the piss and end up in a punch up ain't included in the stats?Are you thick or what, when has London been a town.

As if.No they are not.
I blame that Donkey, OatieAlso top of the charts for violent altercations at windmills
Shocking, the police should be getting stuck into the numptiesBradford Police have just had their special measures time increased due to gangs of youths roaming the centre. No doubt most of them will be armed with knives and/or machetes. I have to traverse it once I arrive back from the match to catch a bus to Shipley. It's definitely a case of keeping your wits about you.
Clever, multi layered joke.I blame that Donkey, Oatie
Preston?Any bad behaviour the police should put the culprits in the back of a van and drop them off in the middle of nowhere.
I’m thinking the Yorkshire MoorsPreston?
I was thinking the goalmouth at Deepdale that the away team are defending, that'll be freeI’m thinking the Yorkshire Moors

Wilf, I too feel safe in Blackpool. Always have.I feel safer walking through Blackpool than I do walking through the ghost town that is Bradford. Gangs of youths (male and female) drinking in the street, few buses after 6pm. beggars and ner do wells on every corner. Daytime and night time. Cars with banging exhausts travelling at high speeds. ignoring red lights, parking and double parking on pavements. Rubbish thrown all around the take aways, bins unused, It is a city with a total disregard for rules, regulations and authority. I pity the Police, who have a thankless task.
Ladies and Gentlemen this is your City of Culture 2025.
Don't forget also the quarter of million of people who live in the area many of the young who flock to Blackpool on a weekend.More ridiculous comparisons.
You can't fairly compare a holiday town that attracts 20 million people a year to a town with a largely static population.
All they do is take the number of crimes and divide by the towns population.
But it's stupid as those visitors are contributing towards the figures massively.
The towns population can basically triple in the summer months. If that was factored in Blackpool wouldn't be near the top of the list.
So it doesn't mean normal residents are likely to encounter significantly more crimes, as it's not factoring in the visitors and a lot are amongst themselves at times in the known areas.
Send 20 million people to any town or city a year and would you know, certain things will increase.
The fact that having so many people coming on holiday doesn't even get a mention shows the agenda.
Well you get that in towns and cities, people from the local areas go there to the bigger place for nights out etc.Don't forget also the quarter of million of people who live in the area many of the young who flock to Blackpool on a weekend.
My niece who lives in Fleetwood is always out in town.
Was Reggie related to Peter Hardman who was a revoe bloke Dave?Wilf, I too feel safe in Blackpool. Always have.
In my late teens and after Nat Service it was just 'My 'Home Town'
In those days lots of people celled Ibbison St , a place to keep away from'.
Not me, although I didn't live there.
I had good friends there, one of which was a guy named Reggie Hardman. Well named, but a great mate.
When he finished his apprenticeship he went on Nat. Service to the Tank Regt I was in in Germany.
I think he became BAOR boxing champ.
A good guy to have on your side.
He was older than I so don't know if he's still around.

Time to get tough on crime, real crime that affects lives.It's a situation I've seen described as "anarcho-tyranny", where the state fails to protect its citizens from violence, but at the same time criminalizes behaviour that most might regard as innocent, so you end up with a double fear of violence and arbitrary criminalization.
It seems a fair description of the country these days, violent criminals free to roam the streets essentially beyond the rule of law, but at the same time motorists persecuted at every opportunity, "hate speech" prosecuted ruthlessly, careers ruined for asserting basic biological facts and so on.
Ireland has descended into anarcho-tyranny, and we’re following suit
Grow a sense of humour ffs!Seems like you get a bit of a buzz over violence
Don't get so hooked up on others conversations ffs!!!Grow a sense of humour ffs!
