Haven't ever been back - I've felt less alien and more welcome in Japanese megacities than I ever felt in London.

And I feel much safer in glasgow!!

Isn't Glasgow the city where they had to call the police to protect Islamist suicide bombers from a bunch of airport baggage handlers on a cigarette break? I hear that what really pissed the baggage handlers off was thanks to the terrorist attack they had to put their cigarettes out. They were playing football with the two terrorists when the police arrived, apparently.

People eat lightbulbs for breakfast in Glasgow. They consider Newcastle to be decadent and effete and Belfast to be posh.

London...pah! It's so soft the Royal Family live there and no one chops their heads off.

Funny enough my weldy friend, the only place I can recall ever being under some sort of attack was in Netherton, Birmingham. We got pelted with stones by a nasty bunch of chavs down by the canal.

You weren't one of 'em were you?

Netherton, Dudley, West Midlands, No mate it wasn't me.
Even us Brummies, won't venture over that side of the city during daylight hours

You need to move, asap, before those Harrow schoolkids mug you for your car keys. I hear they're planning to go off up the M4 to Slough and fight the Eton kids, and they may need the transport.

I tell you, London is going straight down the tubes.

Paul Weller foretold of such an event in 1979 .

Sup up your beer and collect your fags there's a row going on down near slough .

A shame the long hot summer prediction never came true .

It strikes me as a City of extremes, slowly spiralling out of control and everyone either turning a blind eye, hoping it won't affect them, or in denial when it does.

The crime gangs are trading fairly freely - those from central europe, Asia and Russia, China and the Balkans must love London; as a nation we are so ludicrously inadequate at combating crime due to political priorities taking precedence and our police being woefully under-resourced, with a CPS who pussyfoot around at each given opportunity.

Colour, culture and creed are undoubted influences in crime but nobody has yet found a way of dealing with it sensibly without being called racist. It's not racist to want to stop knife crime and gun crime which predominantly affects black teenage gangs. It's not racist to wonder why sex trafficking from Albania and Romania seems to be their major export. It's not racist to wonder why the well-connected and wealthy can escape punishment..anyone remember the Saudi dignitary who was aquitted of rape after explaining that he 'fell' on the girl with his penis erect? Our law is being trivialised. But the more the community representatives, politicians and authorities dance around their handbags and wibble about social nicities, the more opportunity they give to the racists and extremists.

None of this can be held as the responsibility of one person.

An excellent and accurate post Sir.
As much as I dislike the present day Labour party (not that I have much time for the Conservatives either) the blame does not lie with comrade Khan the Muslim 'socialist', and as stated in a previous post, things would probably be no better under Zac Goldsmith the Jewish 'Capitalist'.

Elect either a Christian, Rastafarian, Sikh, or Atheist, the outcome would be the same. London like many other parts of the UK is turning into a lawless shithole, blame it on BOTH major political parties.

'Appeaser' May isn't fit for office, both she and her closest cronies have capitulated to political correctness and the near criminal level of irresponsibility that goes with it.

Corbyn's Labour is unelectable since it's infiltration by Momentum, I shudder to think how law and order would collapse even further into the mire with the likes of Corbyn and Abbott in charge of the asylum.

We are living in a society where there are no viable deterrents, and no fear for ones actions. The Police force are largely seen as a bunch of wimpish social workers who are hamstrung by an ineffective CPS. The number of assaults against the police are constantly rising, and a new sinister twist can be added to those figures, SEXUAL assaults against Female officers.

The solution? Sorry folks I don't have it. But part of the solution would be to have politicians who actually have the balls and determination to implement the full strength of existing legislation (yes we do have the power to impose strong sentences, force the liberal judiciary to use it)

We need a major cash injection to the police and prison service, dump the private ineffective prison contractors (a 'nice little earner' for certain politicians). Recruit more ex military for both the police and prison service, dump the PC bullshit, it has been proven not to work so why cling to it?

Draught a political constitution that compels ALL politicians, (regardless of which political party they represent) to put the best interests of the British public FIRST. So no more campaigning for the rights of guilty and convicted scum. Failure to do so would result in dismissal from parliament and possible legal action.

Khan today saying it'll take 10 years to sort out Londons knife crime epidemic.

Or in other words he himself is going to do nothing whatsoever about it.
Kick the can further down the road.

We need our neighbourhood cops back - all but cut to buggery by tory austerity.

Used to be great and we got to know them all personally. They were very good at making life very awkward for any local ne'er-do-wells.

It was labour and Roy Jenkins that pretty much abolished foot patrols by police.

None of them even conservatives in boom years brought them back

They're all a bad as each other
