I guess you wouldn’t want to live in the places where there is more violent crime per capita in this country either. London isn’t even in the top 10. You could go back and forth linking different “top 10” forever.. I can’t be arsed. This is a thread about London, if you want to create one for other cities that’s fine, il have a look at it. Just because you don’t like posters showing a concern with violent crime in London, that isn’t my problem. London gets mentioned a lot because it’s a destination people go to do a bit of sightseeing etc, me included. I go off what I’m seeing in the news, and it concerns me, no more no less Well, be reassured from someone who lives here, the press are making a point of highlighting crime in London. Knife crime has increased which is worrying (but much less than in other areas of the country) but, generally speaking, crime per person is not high in London compared with the rest of the country, and certainly not something anyone I know who loves in London experiences regularly. |

Daniel Anjorin and Grace O'Malley-Kumar both attended Bankroft's Independent School Woodford Green I attended St Paul's Catholic Secondary Comprehensive School Woodford Green which amalgamated with St Mary's Grammar in mid 1970s to become Trinity Catholic High. It is about two miles from Bankroft's It's about as safe an area as you can find in UK Grace was killed by a crazed knife attacker in Nottingham on her way home from a Party Daniel was killed by a crazed knife attacker in Hainault on his way to school Can you see the common denominator here? Clue: It's not London I saw a special report on BBC this week that, last year I think that, there were 250 knife murders in England and Wales It's not a League Table albeit West Midlands comes out on top per Capita Address the causes of knife crime, removing knife's that can easily be replaced is pointless and there isn't enough room in our prisons in case anyone would like to suggest that. Mental Health is an issue but my guess not hugely but hugely high profile. Ely I'm sure could give us a comprehensive dissertation on how legalising some Drugs would remove the profit element and the need for turf wars. Social Media feeds Machismo in Teenagers to either carry a knife for Bravado or for self protection which often goes wrong There is nothing unique about knife crime in London other than it has a bigger Population, is the Capital so therefore gets National Media Coverage |

I think London and the so called metropolitan elite has received some of the ridiculous blame that used to be directed at Brussels and “unelected EU bureaucrats” pre brexit from the right leaning press for the problems in British society. It helps that there is an outspoken Muslim mayor to go after. Judging by this thread, people who don’t live in London who are generally to the right more than the left in their politics lap it up. |

I think think it is natural, understandable and justifiable for a people to express concern if they feel or perceive that the culture they hold dear is under threat. Whether that fear is justified could be debated, but it is only a question of opinion not fact that determines the answer. I don't think it is reduced to the question of being racist.

That wasn't hard was it?
So the point of you posting the tweet was to show that you do indeed agree with Anderson's opinions of him then?
What is about Khan that you don't like?

Mutters surely the whole point of posting links to what other people have said, is to stimulate discussion or to support the point that you're making, or why else post them?
Don't you think it's perfectly reasonable for other posters to ask, on a discussion forum, (when the tweet that you've posted is unaccompanied by any comment of your own), what the point is that you're actually attempting to make, or what discussion it is that you're attempting to stimulate?

I just find it bizarre that you come on to a discussion forum, post something that somebody else has said and then don't (apparently) want anybody to respond to what you've posted.
Rather than taking a flyer and providing you with a response based on guess work, I thought it would be respectful to you, to ask for clarification of the point that you were actually making.
That's not a superior attitude, that's not questioning everything to the nth degree, that's just simply asking what it was that you wanted to discuss about the tweet that you posted.

Maybe sometimes people just want to post their own thoughts without debating them to death.

It’s not a debating society it’s just a message board where people can post as much or as little as they want. |
