I could (probably) put this in black lives matter but because the police are being tight lipped on descriptions it could be another group.
Police believe quadruple stabbing and shooting are linked - really?

I'm so pleased I don't have to work in Londonistan anymore. However I'm sure Khan has got a plan to divert attention to a Trump balloon or something, anything, rather than take responsibility. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I used to enjoy coming to London-town many years ago. Had a mate lived off the North-Circular and many happy weekends were spent watching bands in Camden and Islington. I wouldn't dream of visiting the place out of choice now though, as it truly is the unwiped arsehole of our otherwise great nation... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Poverty - yes, it is a poor place for ordinary people. There are opportunities for work however which is why it attracts immigrants. Always has done, like most cities.
Street cleaning - I take it you have never lived outside the south-east so know no better? I'm not suggesting for a second that there is a north-south divide when it comes to rubbish, but London-town really is messy.
Gangs of youths - yes, black, white, yellow, brown, whatever. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

MC I do think it is all about aspiration. Give a kid a chance of a job and not getting stabbed or bummed in the showers, and chances are he will take it.
This requires intervention in the market, something that needs money and a brave Government.... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I am speaking from decades of experience here
Blair did invest in inner-city schools (the only good thing he did), they've improved massively, yet it hasn't improved the stabby stabby issue. Similarly they invested in some sink estates, that was actually Major who was anti-council estate, in that he saw the issues they created, but it was a bit of a lottery as to which got the funding and improved.
London is a little unique in that you have insane competition for jobs, no one feels education = a good job = a way out, and when I look at the alumni of my old school, it's all footballers and musicians The truth is, which I wish someone would have told me when I was younger, being honest > going to school > getting a (likely shit) job = staying poor.
I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this I guess you have two options. The legit way which equals going nowhere, or the non-legit way which involves bringing down your neighbourhood, and ending up dead or in prison (which might be a preferable outcome). |

Yet most of us who work for a living couldn't afford to live there.

I was being serious. I go there a lot to watch football, in may areas, Chelsea, Fulham, Wembley, Watford, West Ham, Palace and Arsenal. I've never noticed a litter pr dirty streets issue personally.

If it were a simple fix, we wouldn't have the problems...
I worked on SRB schemes for a few years in northern towns, and the biggest problem I encountered was corruption. Not staff (with one notable exception, sexual favours for grants etc...), but the communities with their plethora of ficticious building companies and 'advisors' playing one side off against the other. We knew what was going on but because of the way funding was structured, ie. anything you didn't spend you lost for the following year, we couldn't do anything about it.
I became self-employed after a few years of that nonsense.
So if the legit way equals poor and the bandit way equals a few quid then you die, I am surprised anybody lives in London full stop. ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

It's the same here, any funding that's meant to help people gets hoovered up by corrupt individuals. I'm surprised anyone chooses to move to London, but lets be honest it isn't outsiders, it's people born here (the UK & London) that are going stabby stabby.
That's what genuinely baffles me about particularly Blair, why would you invest so much in schools etc. and then price people out of having somewhere to live. It's economic entrapment which although started with Thatcher, was accelerated by Blair |

I'd rather see one particular clown on here cop for it from an ethnically challenged friend, at least then the soft cunt would have a reason for all his poison. ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.

She said he was suffering from the traumatic effects of being 'kidnapped' and made to sell drugs for 10 days to pay off somebody else's debt. Nothing to do with being a victim of society.
He got a suspended sentence. He is truly a piece of work and we would all be better off without him. I'm sure it won't be long before he reoffends and gets locked up however.
I have to agree with Mpg here in that he should have been sent down. Where I have to disagree with the oracle is in his assumption that he wasn't because the Judge is of Indian heritage, and some form of 'box-ticking' took place. Where is the evidence of that? ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Wait what... is it not? Or does everyone get kidnapped at gun point to work off their mates drug debt, then just so happens to try and kill someone else shortly afterwards |
