The Tories spent the best part of 15 years making cuts to police, cuts to social services, cuts to mental health services, fecking the economy in various ways from Brexit to Lettuce Truss, whilst also allowing migration to soar to record unsustainable levels, and we wonder why things aren't rosy.

Enough about what though?
The guy was born in Cardiff in 2006 from parents who migrated legally. Are we now saying that no migrants should be let in just in case there's a few who do messed up sh!t?
It was only a month ago a white Englishman tied up and murdered 3 woman with a crossbow, I don't recall rioting and protests over that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Rising levels of crime. Repeated stabbings. British soldier being stabbed on british soil. Kids not being safe and being murdered. Look at what happened in southport and southend this week. A kid killed in Hackney the other day got hardly any press at all. thats how bad the situation is.
It use to be headlines when someone was murdered. Now its not even reported on.
We've...as you've pointed out, got enough nutters already. Why are we not trying to get a grip on that before letting more people unvetted in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But are they only blaming the Muslims for this?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
People are too deep into the misinformation propaganda now. You can't change them.
They're far right thugs who are looking for an argument.
I've asked this question on X but shall ask here too:
Is the UK really the hellhole grifters like Farage, Robinson, Hopkins etc make it out to be or is it, for the most part, a decent place to live where people generally go about their day no matter what their background?
Are these far right loons just fanning flames that just aren't there?

"It use to be headlines when someone was murdered. Now its not even reported on."
Plenty of murders happened in the past without being reported on in the press or being high profile national news.
This looks like typical back.in my day myopia. I struggle.to believe that murders were reported on more in the days of 3 telly channels, no dedicated news channels, news on 3 times a day prior to internet or social media.
It's possible that murders are reported on as much, perhaps more, but over a wider range of platforms so don't get your attention.

It depends where you are, but safe places are getting less frequent. Where I grew up has gone down hill massively the last 10 years and so have all the nearby areas. London is a cesspool now.

Why are the riots not surprising?
Were the riots in Leeds also not surprising?
Why are these people supporting this riot and but we're upset about the one in Leeds?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
or on the flip side why do the government seem to support the one in Leeds but not the one this week.
Strange goings on.
People have had enough, but attacking a mosque is obviously too far and I hope it was a select few and not a majority.
It seemed to all turn sour when the police got heavy handed the other night.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The way the police handled the riot in Leeds was pretty soft. All of the public disturbances that we have seen in the last few weeks should have been dealt with severely/the same.
I know one of the social workers involved in the case in Leeds that sparked the Harehills riot. There were threats made that further riots would happen if the children were not given back to the family. Which happened, with the children being placed with one of their uncles.
People need to remember that we won brexit. WE are the majority. You far left muslim sympathisers are the MINORITY. If we put any of this to a vote, we would win again. We could even vote you out of our country if we wanted to or were allowed to but there is no democracy in this country so we are not allowed to vote you out because we are controlled by the far left.
But be careful what you say about us because remember that we are the MAJORITY and if you piiiisss us off again we will just spring into action again like we did with Brexit. We control your future. Be nice to us.

I know we're perhaps a bit sheltered here but I'd really like to think most of the UK is similar and it's just isolated pockets that you find trouble. Here isn't perfect but any issues aren't en masse.
Back in Nick's day the fans of the local football team were synonymous with the NF & BNP
But crime and violence wasn't as bad back then apparently.

again no real relevance. Nobody is trying to say we haven't always had crime. Also extremely ignorant painting fans of local football teams with one brush for some strange reason. No relevance and a strange comment.
The degradation of our way of life and our cities and their infrastructure is there for all to see.
I'd ask where you live also?
Lots of London areas a sh-tholes, usually the ones further out, same goes for most cities. Central London all depends where you go, areas catering for mass tourism are usually horrible, but again most city town centres are pretty awful and have generally declined over the past decade or so as they become less relevant to people's needs.

Fingers crossed on the driver's credentials, eh?
Here is an Index of Multiple Deprivation map of London from 2010 (red means bad):
https://ibb.co/L94dG1Q
Here is the same map from 2019 (latest data):
https://ibb.co/GPK4Ff9
To summarise on the above, there are far fewer areas of dark red in 2019 compared to 2010, showing London is becoming less deprived.
Oh but it's the crime we are more concerned about I hear you say.
Well here is the crime domain from 2015 (again, red bad):
https://ibb.co/kKYTzfG
Compare that to the latest data for crime (2019):
https://ibb.co/kKYTzfG
As you can see, London is getting relatively less deprived over the years and relatively safer.
Compare that with levels of immigration over the same period, the data shows that immigration is making London SAFER.
Your statistically invalided anecdotal "evidence" can now be dismissed.
I now consider the matter to be closed.

They're far right thugs who are looking for an argument.
I've asked this question on X but shall ask here too:
Is the UK really the hellhole grifters like Farage, Robinson, Hopkins etc make it out to be or is it, for the most part, a decent place to live where people generally go about their day no matter what their background?
Are these far right loons just fanning flames that just aren't there?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Where do you live out of interest?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Conwy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks lovely. The rest of the country is not like that mate
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know we're perhaps a bit sheltered here but I'd really like to think most of the UK is similar and it's just isolated pockets that you find trouble. Here isn't perfect but any issues aren't en masse.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you can think that, but the rest of the country is not similar to that. Our cities are turning into sh!tholes.

Back in Nick's day the fans of the local football team were synonymous with the NF & BNP
But crime and violence wasn't as bad back then apparently.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
again no real relevance. Nobody is trying to say we haven't always had crime. Also extremely ignorant painting fans of local football teams with one brush for some strange reason. No relevance and a strange comment.
The degradation of our way of life and our cities and their infrastructure is there for all to see.
I'd ask where you live also?

Lots of London areas a sh-tholes, usually the ones further out, same goes for most cities. Central London all depends where you go, areas catering for mass tourism are usually horrible, but again most city town centres are pretty awful and have generally declined over the past decade or so as they become less relevant to people's needs.

London is a cesspool now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
London is quite big, you know...
There are very few places in London that I would feel generally threatened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good for you but that doesn't change that it's gotten worse.
I'm in London all the time, went through West London last week...its disgusting.
Even had to fight off an attacker in Chelsea of all areas two years ago on my way back from a wedding. Chelsea!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did no one attack people in the 70/80s?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Strange cherry picking and not really relevant. There's less safe areas now. Thank god for uber.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well in the 80s if I walked through certain council areas I would get racially abused, mugged, attacked on. That does not happen now.

Here is an Index of Multiple Deprivation map of London from 2010 (red means bad):
https://ibb.co/L94dG1Q
Here is the same map from 2019 (latest data):
https://ibb.co/GPK4Ff9
To summarise on the above, there are far fewer areas of dark red in 2019 compared to 2010, showing London is becoming less deprived.
Oh but it's the crime we are more concerned about I hear you say.
Well here is the crime domain from 2015 (again, red bad):
https://ibb.co/kKYTzfG
Compare that to the latest data for crime (2019):
https://ibb.co/kKYTzfG
As you can see, London is getting relatively less deprived over the years and relatively safer.
Compare that with levels of immigration over the same period, the data shows that immigration is making London SAFER.
Your statistically invalided anecdotal "evidence" can now be dismissed.
I now consider the matter to be closed.
