Lord Fellatio Nelson

You are a prick. My point was that racism alone is not a reason in itself to justify why sections within our society are failing and failing badly. I have also stated that living in poverty will also not be a reason alone as to why we have the issues we have. I have given examples regarding other members of our society that will also have faced racism, prejudice and disadvantages but have still forged forwards in life. I spent the most formative years of my life with friends who were from all religions and backgrounds, I went to schools that were more representative of the UN than North London and come from Eastern European Jewish stock who came into the UK, with many others, and had to start from scratch. My great Grandparents could not even speak English when they arrived so were doubly disadvantaged. I am no racist. Cunt My 'point' is that unless we address the issues surrounding shit parenting, shit schooling ( it is the easy option to expel kids out of the system) and deal with the sheer inertia by whole swathes of communities that want every thing brought to them because they feel it is pointless getting out there and doing something then we are fucked. Racism has never gone away, that is separate to what is happening in London, there is a core issue with a core section of the public. They have not had it much worse than others in a similar situation, the gang culture has grown and it has become very lucrative. Fuck off.

It is a brilliant City if you stick to the places that the tourist board prefers you to go. Last year I went and had a brilliant time at Shakespeares Globe, the Tower of London and other places. I may well have been born there, lived there and visited the usual haunts many times but London is still magical and it absolutely shits all over Paris for friendly service alone. It's just a shed load of other parts of the city that have become utter gash. Mind you, having had the shit kicked out of me on the hills of Ally Pally in around 1975 I can confirm that London was still a den of violence even then. It's part of the reason my parents got off of their arses and moved us all out to Essex, which was, at the time, a paradise.

It is not changing the subject, it is integral to understanding the core issues pertaining to the crime epidemic this thread is about. As a point of fact, 99% of Ugandan asians that fled Amin ended up cleaning floors and doing triple shifts in factories to make ends meet. There ultimate success was down to sheer hard work and determination to better themselves. Even the Jewish refugees ended up here with just the clothes they were wearing, you seem at assume that they all just migrated over and took up civil servant jobs with the ministry or something. Systematic disadvantage, as you call it, can be overcome, it has been done a zillion times over. There has been such disadvantages in our modern society for way longer than you, me or previous generations of our families have existed. My great grandparents were immigrants into this country at the turn of the last century. They had to live in the slums of East London without any of the safety nets we take for granted now. Maybe they succeeded because they were white working class Jews.. I've said my bit. That is all.

Shit on the pitch before the kick off. Shit on the pitch after the kick off.

Mentioned it? We have now seen the pics.

As per usual you have scooted over the salient points because, in your own mind, statistical data is where it's at for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth' and all that shizzle. My post was clear about Police finding in London, it is KHANS responsibility, not the rest of the UKs. If you want a Mayor then you have to go the whole hog and not cherry pick the bits you want and get rid of the bits you do not. Khan has lumbered the taxpayers of London with a small country's worth of debt because he has subsidised TFL, its fares and its rail projects. He can do that but he cannot put even more money into law enforcement? That was the point that went over your head ( much does) he has authority over one of the most powerful and richest cities on earth and he has powers beyond the average council, way beyond. He is, to all intents and purposes, King of his Kingdom or summat. If London needs more funding for Police it can just fuck off and get it from Londoners and people that frequent the place. I do neither and I do not want a ha'penny of my taxes going to fund any square meter of it. Youth crime? Poverty? It was like Scarman never donned the cape and cut a swathe through Brixton, Broadwater Farm and all of those other places of abject poverty and rioting that happened all that time ago, probably when your mum was a young girl. The money was poured into solving the issues yet here we are decades later and it is worse than ever. Lets balance that with the citizens of the India sub continent and give a special mention to those Ugandan Asians who were kicked out of Uganda back in, around 1971. Most, if not all arrived here without a pot to piss in yet, within a decade became home owners, business owners and had children who were high achievers. They too lived in the shittiest areas, went to the shittiest schools and suffered discrimination in the workplace, the streets and racism that was epic and staggering at the same time. Somewhat a different turn out, eh? Stick to your stats, they bring you comfort, I prefer to stick to the realities.

He has done bloody well then!

Nicky Henson is still around and 73.

It's probably already been answered but, as I'm too lazy to check, how many 'foes of Fawlty' are still alive?

Yes they do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-47252505 In the mean time. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/oct/26/tfl-to-borrow-350m-after-crossrail-delay-drives-it-into-the-red Yes, the Tories are a bunch of cunts, a lack of Police is a nationwide issue but, unlike the rest of the UK, or 98.2% of it, London has riches that are being spunked away by a tin pot twat who spends more time massaging his profile than actually doing what he was put in office to do, run London like a fucking pro. As for the 'annihilation of funding for youth and outreach projects, exactly what the fuck do you think Londons yoof was doing decades ago and long before that when there was absolutely fuck all funding available in whole swathes of the city and as much poverty as there is now? 'Community leaders' 'youth leaders' bull shitters and crap parenting, whatever the scenario, throwing money at the youth is not going to solve the problems that are so entrenched in areas of our society not even a bomb will shift it. Poor housing? I lived in one, privately rented, couldn't get a Council house for love nor money so had to make do with handmade quilts packed with old clothes to keep us warm in the winter when ice used to form on the insides of our windows. Don't tell me about how a lack of Police, no yoof clubs and ' not being able to reach out to those unfortunate souls' is integral to a surge in murder and mayhem on the streets because it is not. Inequality? Yeah, thats got so much worse.. It's drugs. Who the fuck is going to work for a minimum wage when they can earn £10K a week shipping coke around middle England using kids. For somebody who is clearly intelligent, you talk the same kind of shit that is spewed by folk who think they fully get it, can feel it but have never lived it. Just like Jeremy, actually.

No.

That might be because she has spent a shit load of money on plastic surgery and has had the money to have afforded the best health care, food, lifestyle and, probably, a personal trainer for the last 20 years. This is another example of celebrities going under the knife umpteen times to present an image that 99% of people in REAL LIFE cannot get close to but have the 'oh she looks fab!!! bollocks rammed down their throats to the point where some actually start to believe that something is wrong with them.

If I am honest, what happens in London can stay there, I give not a shit. I am not convinced that the 'liberals' voted Khan in, it is one of the most multi cultural cities on Planet Earth so, I would expect, his support came from various sections of London society. I do agree that he is a posturing little prick who has his priorities totally skewed but, again, the folk of London voted him in and they can suffer the consequences. He may well be able to find extra funds had he not thrown every spare ha'penny and the kitchen sink into TFL, something that is heavily subsidised even though passenger numbers have fallen. London is one of the richest cities in the world, Khan can find the money from within the city and not from the taxpayers residing outside of it. Ultimately, we understand who is most likely to be carrying knives and who will be the victims. We have an understanding that Airports like Stansted have highly trained security teams who are going to check on 84 year old Minnie Biggs from Ilford because she may be a shoe bomber and carry explosive liquids in her colostomy bag. Criminal profiling encompasses all because to do otherwise is....well lets leave it there. It's all fucking pointless, actually.

Thursday : Somebody will be stabbed Saturday: Some body will be stabbed Tuesday: somebody will be stabbed. Probably. You are going down the path of the 'No shit Sherlock' style of posting. We are perfectly aware of how many people are being stabbed, it's reported here every sodding day.
