Who’d willingly visit London or Paris nowadays? Totally unsafe. Wouldn’t let my kids go on school trips there anymore.

By the way anyone been to the outskirts of Paris recently Jeez it’s like Mad Max. I actually locked the car whilst driving.
 
Im sure the headlines will read “mostly peaceful street parties”.

That’s simply not true.

Sad to say, that statement by yourself, is simply not true. London is more dangerous than an awful lot of the globe.

The crime related figures widely publicised, confirm this to be factual.

Note, you have stated London is no more dangerous than anywhere else.

So indeed it completely depends on where “else” is?

Los Cabos or Lytham?
 
Leave Basil alone in his metropolitan bubble. He only goes out on a Friday for his fish anyway!

Basil has basically just admitted there are no go zones. Old Trumpy said as much a few years ago.

Trumpy says a lot which turns out to be bollox. Homicide rate in the States far exceeds ours. He should concentrate on his own problems. Except he can't actually concentrate on anything.

Think you’ll find most of the homicides are in democrat cities who control their own policing and sentencing so you’re basically proving our point.
 
🙄 Would that have anything to do with the fact that 21 of the largest 26 cities in the USA are Democrat controlled, including the largest 7 and only 4 Republican with 1 Independent
 
Before lockdown I used to go to London on a regular basis with work and never felt in danger. I go to Homerton Hospital in Hackney , North Middlesex Edmonton, Lewisham and never felt threatened. All by public transport. The journey to the Royal Free is rather pleasant stopping off for coffee in Belsize Park

Not many can visit anywhere at the moment to be fair, but amongst the
most visited cities in the world in 2019
Paris is second and London 3rd

A right winger knocking our country, who would of thought It
 
I’m sure I heard the BBC say something about BAME communities being more prone to catching and transmitting COVID amongst their communities. I thought it was to do with poor social conditions though. Maybe I’m mistaken.
 
I would not say London is unsafe but it has more murder than other European capitals.
tbf it is larger than other European Cities.
I feel far safer walking round Madrid for instance than London.
 
Applying what has happened in Brixton to London as a whole is like saying Lancashire is all exactly like Nelson (which is the most tense place I've ever been to). I've never felt especially unsafe in London, I haven't been everywhere, but I've been to some quite sketchy bits on my own, on foot and it just felt more or less like Manchester or Liverpool but a bit more hemmed in.

I've been to Brixton, it wasn't the world's most salubrious place, bit edgy, but I didn't fear for my life. There's so called 'no go' (dodgy/sketchy) areas in every town. I've had abuse on streets in Wigan 'oi, dickhead, who the fuck are you' type stuff. I was mugged in Yorkshire by a guy with knife. (white guy fwiw not that it matters and I also ran off successfully without losing blood or wallet!) - Everywhere has dodgy bits. I once got collared by a gang of lads on Burscough High Street (of all places!) and told to get back on my bike and fuck off out of Burscough otherwise I'd get a kicking. This really happened. I was literally just having a bike ride and Burscough is sleepy as it gets...

There is a crime problem in London but it's just completely opportunistic and divisive to start making it race linked. Drugs, poverty and high density housing, combined with crap job prospects will create crime. Tackle stuff like that instead of embarking on a quest to say 'Race X needs sorting out'

That route is only going to lead to tears. For everyone.
 
Brixton has a great Jamaican influence. Just by the station there are fantastic bars and street outlets blasting out Marley songs. Can be edgy at night but no worse than some other areas.
 
And a police officer gets injured in Blackpool from a youth who's part of a group causing mayhem around the Caunce Street area. Not a Black person in sight.
 
We had a thread on here a week or so ago saying some 14 year old kid in Blackpool had knocked out a Policeman and the whole area had fallen into mayhem.......There are areas of Preston where kids (KIDS) are dealing drugs on the street and Police fear to drive through because their cars get stoned.

I was in Burnley on Friday......what a Poo hole that place is......The office I visited had 2 security guards on the gate checking everyone into the car park...I was told that last week at the nursery in the complex, they had a 19 year mum OD in the kids toilet, while she was changing her kids nappies....

It's not a black thing...it's not a white thing.......this rubbish is going down all over the UK.

Statistically Blackpool is bottom of the pile for all manner of things. I suggest you look it up and take the blinkers off

I guess that’s why you left and bark at the disgusting town you left behind!
I’m happy to stay here, face our problems and not look down my nose at the community I left behind.
Call yourself a socialist , give over.
