I lived in Crayford for years a brilliant place, great people some fab pubs, if someone said I visited the Wirral/Loserpooll and it was a sh1thole you'd be straight on the defence of it, you obviously hate multi culturalism and a vibrant mix of differing races which London brings given the slagging off you've given of the other area's in London. Good job you live where you do so you can feel comfy with your own kind aye

25 years living in and around London, best city in the world an amazing multi cultural city leading the way

They've got a great Mayor in Sadiq, it's only the gammons and facist white priders(yeah I know not a proper word) who are up in arms about him getting re elected. You hate London, that's great, it means it won't get people like you visiting it


Hello my old friend.

Yes,I do detest London.

Not keen on diversity as you say.

It’s rather like your chums attitude to the English.

Try diversification in alleys.

Anyway ,hope you and D are doing fine

We re having building works done so you ll have to wait a bit for your next visit

What about the diversity E Paul opines on.

Problem is all say they welcome it when the converse is often the case


Little sign of diversity on here if toleration is an essential criteria . The only tolerance is the right kind and that s the issue.

Or they could look to Glasgow who have been incredibly successful in reducing knife crime by treating it as a public health issue?

Much better to prevent knives getting out on the street in the first place I’d have thought.

Not had that good fortune.

Ive worked Liverpool though and they are similiar cities.Both with attitude,both feisty,both Tory hating,both earthy,both former glorious centres of the Empire's trade.

Liverpool and Glasgow are more interesting that most if not all cities outside London not including the listed buildings.

I think the English election results show Labour have a much bigger problem than they thought, the Corbyn hangover isn't going away.

I expected Starmer to do much better but it's almost as if he's just happy to be labour leader and pick up the pay cheque, he's a political Conor Hourihane, he isn't putting the graft in just doing some pretty stuff around the edges!

Most people see Bojo the same way you do, Max, yet people still seem to be turning to the tories. It's almost inexplicable. Bojo looks and acts like he escaped from a Marx btohers film (or maybe the Three Stooges, himself, Hancock and Gove!) and still Labour can't catch up. Even in Wales the tories won more seats than ever before. The world has gone mad.


I suspect that Starmer understood that the ghost of Corbyn and Brexit were going to impact upon support for Labour in the short term. Additionally the vaccine rollout has erased the problems from early in the pandemic in the minds of the people. Labour will bide their time but I don't believe it will make too much difference in the next GE...Maybe the one after.

There's something to praise Bojo for then, isn't it, he's getting more police officers back. Thing is, this needs to happen nationally.

When I was a kid in the late 70's there were more police around. My local village staion in Mumbles had 3 full time officers and 2 of them were always out and about, they knew people by name. They knew my family and if I did something wrong, well yes, I got a row from them and a roaw from my family who'd know about it before I got home. It's not rose tinted specs, it's true. The station door was always open when someone was in.

London is an entirely different thing, obviously. Gang culture has taken over, the streets have been ceded to the bad boys. Walk into certain areas at night and you can almost guarantee trouble.
As the major said, this goes much deeper than just people being bad, this is as much about deprivation, lack of education and opportunity. London is like plenty of other big cities, you can find the worst, most run down and crime infested places and not that far away you can find immense wealth.
This isn't just about the tories, this goes back further and even beyond Blairs time. This has been building for decades.


In July 2019, Boris committed to increasing police officer numbers by 20,000 by 2023 which would put the number of cops broadly back where they were in 2010 before Cameron’s government started reducing numbers. To do that, they will have to recruit something like 50,000 new police officers to make up for retirements etc.

Boris is providing all the police forces with more cops, his uplift is only for cops - the numbers will vary from force to force but they should all get an increase. BUT there may be some “smoke and mirrors” as other budgets may be cut, top sliced or subject to “efficiency savings” which is a posh term for cut and this will impact in other ways.

Efficiency savings are not a posh word for cuts. They are the way industry produces more goods at a cheaper price which actually creates jobs .

Waste in all government departments must be cut.

We’re not talking industry. I agree with you that waste should be cut, but after 10 years of austerity across most of the frontline services I’d say there’s not much waste left!

There were some issues with targets, but Blair and Brown spent a lot more money on the NHS then the Conservatives did before or after.

Have a closer look at Brown's record.

The NHS issue with gross over management is directly down to him.

Look at his legacy and consider how he kept the country's finances away from Blair the PM as much as possible purely out of hatred for the man.
