Hey, In case you missed it I made a video on this debate kicking off on Twitter about whether London is safe, and why so many commentators are so desperate to tell us it is.
I live in London, have done for over 40 years, I used to go everywhere, North and South of the river, it is not the same city. This is not anecdotal, it is from experience, London is NOT safe, no longer safe.
I also have lived in London for 40 years and I concur. A lot of the capital is now a sh*thole, and the nice parts are noticeably less nice than they were. Litter, graffiti, levels of general courtesy, blatant flaunting of what were considered basic norms of behaviour in public spaces, brazen shoplifting and endemic fare dodging, to name a few.
I’m glad that I live a long way from London, in a village outside a small rural town where almost everyone is white British and there is a real sense of community. In my village everyone says “hello” when walking past people, the town has regular community events and crime is low. It’s one of the last bastions of England (the flags are still flying proudly) and I just hope it lasts.

Sorry but I am now, in my head, singing Day-0, the banana boat song!
You mentioned Which (typo) crimes. Surely if you are highlighting witches crimes, then wizards should me covered too.
Or is this a cultural issue, as they could be described as witch doctors, engineers, as opposed to small boat scroungers.
Hope you guys are keeping your fuckin shoes on.
