Lawless London

Notice how radio silent London Mayor Sir Khan is regarding this high profile horrific murder on the streets he's supposed to care greatly for...

Not a cunting dickie bird from that racist transparent grade A cսnt which says it all.

You have got far more chance of getting mowed down by some twat delivery rider on an electric bike than getting mugged

They are a menace running red lights and riding without due care and attention on the pavements.

 

Actually spot on and agree total cunts but still different type of crime...being mugged by tooled up druggie scum with a blade is harder to deal with and getting run over by an illegal Afghanistan asylum seeker riding an uninsured Chinese E bike

If "people" want all that, I've no objection - their lives, not mine.

Personally, I've no more time for London - or any big city/urban area, really.

It/they no longer offer me (ME!!!!) what I want at this time of my life. I've long since been a late 20's/early 30s 100% alpha male fanny magnet with something to prove.

Quite happy getting the train one stop to Erith, sitting watching the Thames ebb & flow, listening to a few toons on me cans, innit.

Same here.

I am still glad I grew up there as there as it was multicultural where i spent my childhood and there were so many opportunities when I was starting work and attempting to make it as a rock musician after dropping out of university. I can't think think of anyhwere else where I could have picked up a two month dep gig in a Reggae band from meeting someone while doing temp work on a building site. That was a fun education. 
Doubt I would ever have accidentally discovered my profession in programming either and was lucky enough to ride the dot com bubble and subsequent burst. It has been good to me for 32 years and counting.
Moved to leafy Sussex 20 years ago and never regretted it for a minute and will never go back. It is combination of turning itno a country boy and being an introverted old git.
Overall crime in trending down in London and has been for years however there are outliers such as phone/expensive watch theft and gang knife crime but most other crime e.g. burglary, roobery, assault, GBH, murder are way down on their 90s peek.

Of course some people have economic or family reasons for where they live but most can make a decision on what sort of place they live in
WHATEVER you are interested in you can find that or have access to it from London 
Obviously a lot of your decision is based on what you are interested in or like doing

I’ve always lived in London. I walk round it. I travel on public transport. I’ve seen violence very few times in the last 40 years. 

Theres deffo bad shop lifting and stealing bikes and cars and phones for the Chinkies. I wouldnt wear an expensive watch out and about but I wouldnt in many places in public. 

This is all true of most I know. I have an acquaintance who is a Dj who arrived as a teenager from Ghana in the 1980s. We were chatting earlier this year and he said he’d never really experienced any racism. Mostly probably because he’s a nice bloke, no chip on his shoulder and always worked hard.

The only thing that truly gets on my tits is people cycling those e bikes all over the place badly.

Not London but this did make me grin watching this leprechaun tea leaf get dealt with..



I don't know what's funnier, the shoe or the sign? I think the shoe.

All these muggy cunts bullying 1 man in front of Old Bill and they try to escort him to leave.. 




Well done for standing up to them fella.

Well done Police and Crime Commissioner, Sir Khan. London streets safe as ever, I see. People now having to rely on private bobbies on the beat to solve serious crimes now.  

St Johns Wood residents have been paying for private security patrols for years thanks to lack of police response to burglary,car theft and street robbers

I know this is getting off topic, but many people treat their phone as a big, oraclesque comfort blanket.

Couple that with the fact that they need some proof to back up what they witnessed and a few believe that they can make some dosh by selling film of such events to the media, it's no surprise filming takes precedence.

There's probably a bit of "Well, if it suddenly involves me, I've got absolute proof that it wasn't my fault"

You don't have to venture far to see people far more engrossed in the images on their phone than they are in the world in which they live.

Anyhow, back on topic I see that the Home Office are arguing against the Epping decision because it might set a precedent.

No shit, Sherlock

Just come up with a viable (*cough* rubber dingy to Rwanda, do not pass Go! Do not collect 200 pounds) solution and the problem goes away.

I will never get my head around understanding why someone would film someone in trouble rather than trying to help. The amount of videos you see of a woman getting slapped about by some bloke and most of the people in the immediate vicinity start filming rather than stopping the bloke.

 

I get why many don’t, especially in cities. I’d always try to help, but you probably risk getting killed or arrested and convicted of an offence. 

A couple of months back I was walking in the park with my wife and we saw a teenager crying and surrounded by others and appeared to be in a lot of distress. I’ve put my big boy pants on and intervened and checked on the kid, and one of the lads kept telling me he was alright, but I was adamant I wanted to hear it from the one crying. These teenagers were all bigger than me, and not bothered in the slightest my presence and I can openly say I was very nervous.

I’m getting on, felt invincible in my 20s and 30s, but now feel like I need to get into the gym, take up boxing or MMA because pound for pound I’m outgunned.

Love the example the BBC have chosen to report the Headphone On campaign TfL are promoting.

Maybe they should ban people filming on the tube too

A few weeks back a young kid oon the tube with Asperger's/ Autism us doing the rocking forward thing making noises and is clearly anxious when some cunts starts very obviously filming him

The dad said nothing probably as not to make matters worse and took him off at the next stop so afterwards and furious I let rip at them and then everyone's either looking down at the floor or filming me except for an Indian woman who also tells these knobs (one boy one girl in there early 20s) that they should be ashamed of themselves.

Next thing we are being accused of bullying and harassment as they both have anxiety mental health and panic attacks

Neither of these absolute bellends  saw the irony of that but they soon pissed off at the next station which was probably for the best as I was raving and might of just banged their heads together or worse.

This incident though is indicative of modern society 

Whereas twenty years ago people would of seen an incident or someone in trouble and possibly tried and help out or at least ring an ambulance or the old bill nowadays they just start filming the persons predicament or misery.

A lot is said about the online safety bill but I would like to see a law brought in to protect victims of accidents crime and the like from being filmed when clearly they are at the most vulnerable.

A while back there was clip one going around of someone bleeding out and dying in the road after being stabbed multiple times by a mental health patient who was seen in the background casually wandering off.

The person who filmed this and posted it online should in my opinion be jailed for a number of years.

There is a big shift in this country that's for sure

The vast vast majority of people in this country ( the silent majority) know that to home young men who have arrived illegally from safe countries in hotels give them money and allow them to roam freely is simply wrong.

Couple this with the current economic climate and you have serious problems.

However I'm uneasy with the vigilante thing as I know of a couple of cases (not recently) where it went horribly wrong with innocent people being identified and long prison sentences dished out.

The protests are understandable and the vast majority are there for the right reasons and fair play but sadly there will always be an ignorant element  amongst them that will tag anyone of colour as a refugee or illegal.

These people are a problem and do nothing but distract from the concerns people are protesting over.

How long until normal people lose the plot and start ensuring these ‘refugees’ want to home because it’s too dangerous for them to remain? 

[Mike Oxsaw]

It's the comedy of it..

I can't understand why these people go to such lengths yet won't lift a finger to steal back the true meaning of our national flag from those who have been allowed to appropriate it.

Perhaps they're too busy being a "caring person" and such activities are someone else's responsibility.

Are ordinary people - tax-paying voters - claiming back our national flag(s) from the racists and agitators?

It sure feels like it and very patriotic it is, too; The flags or their meaning are no threat to anyone (unless poorly installed). I'm English, I'm British. Why should I be banned from walking around my country and seeing the flag of my nation proudly displayed?

The state stood by and let the racists adopt my nation's emblems, so it's good to see the people take matters into their own hands on this, and the state should be actively encouraging the proud display of the flags and emblems of the nation it has been created to support.

The authorities have no issue with flying flags - apparently it has sanctioned the flying of the flag of the Ukraine from government buildings, so why go out of their way to remove the flags - symbols of the nation within the boundaries of that nation; don't hear many complaints about the flying of the Saltire in Scotland - in fact it seems positively encouraged there by the authorities.

That being said, both the BBC and Independent website reports on the issue are trying to push this as a far-right led activity, but neither has the bollocks to say what they actually think.

What's the beef about the flag of St. George?

Had to pop into town this morning, and every time I go I’m reminded what a dump it’s become.
