Our town is 98% white, has a population of 10 000 and had two murders in the last year. The first one was a murderer himself who finished his sentence and was murdered by his land lady. The second one happened 3 days ago. It was an 89 year old with a 41 year-old arrested, but released on bail + the police are still looking so not sure if it is him. This is the chap. I really don't understand it.
Sorry the picture hasnt shown |

Ross-on-Wye is the "second most dangerous small town in Herefordshire". A while back the local newspaper claimed that a local "family" had "Financial interests in a 100+ local businesses". The head of the family was prosecuted for money laundering and associating with Northern Irish criminals. The influence of this family is common knowledge in the town. Herefordshire police are "wary" of the investigating what they get up to. The prosecution was conducted by Customs Officials ... not by the local cops. The late wife of the head of the family was mayor of the town.
Back in the 70s I lived in Swansea ... locals openly referred to several members of the Council as "the Swansea Mafia" ... two of them ended up in prison.

And what makes you think that the 2% are all sqeaky clean and haven't caused any provocation against the whites in Cleveland? We all know what side the law favours.. London has a lot of money and the rich areas have a heavy police presence. I know, I grew up there. Thanks to multiculturalism other mostly white areas of the country have been deprived for decades, especially in state education and opportunities. Obviously TTL believes white people are inferior and prone to commit more crime, and that they should be spat in the face. I moved to London 50 years ago like any other city worldwide they can have their rich areas and poor areas we have some areas that are very deprived , London still has high levels of crime , we only have about £30,000 Police Officers in London no where near enough to Police 8 million plus people , we don't have a heavy Police presence anywhere in the City, I only wish we had. There are areas we will not go into at night and careful in daylight , we certainly don't travel on the tube last at night criminal operate in the rich areas as well and the less well off, the vast majority of people living in London are not rich, the cost of living is higher than in other regions |

We sold the upstairs as a self-contained flat (it was only a terraced house), and used the downstairs as a bolthole for a few years. It's in a "rough" bit of the city (Shadwell - just off the Commercial Road, about 15 minutes walk from Tower Bridge). Even though there were the constant warnings that "it's not safe to go out at night", and "it's a no-go area", neither of us ever had a problem there. Nor did I ever encounter any problems living in a "banlieue" in Paris - l'isle St Denis - an area of high poverty, high migration, and, apparently, high crime. (It's now been bought up to be redeveloped as the Olympic Village..) |

I agree to some extent , but having seen the changes in areas of London over the decades the old run down areas are up and coming the older Victorian and Edwardian Houses were converted into flats began decades ago a gold mine for developers, however like any other city you have to be careful We have lived in the East End Islington in the 70's 80's we saw first hand how dangerous it can be once you get off the main well lit main roads, we moved out for a better quality of life on the outskirts, now we are getting out for good too many gangs roaming the streets at soon as it get dark |

I was born in E8, have lived for a short while in N17, now live in N16 (Dalston, Tottenham and Hackney). Parents still live in E8.
There's not an excessive amount of trouble round here. nor is there an excessive Police presence which, given the feelings of the community against some of the local Met's activities, could be a blessing.
Admittedly, Stoke Newington has its occasional problems — where we are at present — though I guess we have to expect that with a significant large minority (ie, 44% White British). But I expect we're protected to a certain extent by Stamford Hill's Shomrim...

Currently young kids being threatened by knives for phones and trainers by young black males other thing is vehicle theft which I think is a big earner for criminals. Also notice unless you read the local papers you would not know about the murders though do not see trouble on the streets perosnally. |

We moved to the outskirts years ago just two miles from the M25 as it was safer than inner London, now the gangs are out here as well, we are going to view a couple of houses down in Dorset next month if they have not sold by then, come what may we are getting out , London is too crowded , too expensive, too dirty , too noisy, and getting too dangerous, same in Birmingham, Manchester etc

Yes we like it been on several visits to decide where abouts we want to live, yes more relaxed you don't have to watch your back all the time, good thing is it is easy to get too , so the kids and grandkids can come and visit as and when they want, likewise we can visit them as well , we also have very good friends in London |

I spent my holidays at achool camp in Dorset and having travelled about a bit since then, I still consider it the best part of England. We camped for 4 years on the slopes of Golden Cap near Bridport and my final year on The Lizard in Cornwall. The first year after I left scool I cycled from near Heathrow to school camp at Peak Hill near Sidmouth, returning home two days later. All beautiful parts of the country in those days and though they're much more expensive now, you could still sell a London property and have some change after buying somewhere in the west country; my brother lives near Shaftesbury and I have in laws somewhere in Devon but I don't keep track of them. |
