UK Police and Judiciary out of control?

There's a different reason you wouldn't walk past the Blind Beggar now. Go to Whitechapel, experience the rich tapestry of diversity yourself.
However, there was no reason to be scared in the past - particularly for women. It would be the last place there would be any crime. Not anymore. Several modern murders near there now.

Walking past gangs of ten or twenty urban yoof......it can be a bit intimidating for all of us mate. Not just the wives.
You can only guess whether or not some of the lads are carrying. But you can be certain that the many bicycles will outpace you. And that your rapier wit may not be enough to talk your way out of trouble. And it doesnt matter if you are as hard as Bruce Lee.....its not enough to save you.


I can easily identify a few postcodes & street corners that are regular flash-points for all this - looking intimidating time-and-again. But i would expect all non Cornwall Eagles can easily do the same ?

Gangs existed when I was a young man. I avoided all of them but the mods and rockers beating the hell of each other on Brighton seafront wasn’t a myth. Not so many knives, which is today’s big problem, but a swinging bike chain could do some damage.

If you can identify flashpoints then you can avoid flashpoints. Wherever they are. I wouldn’t go into Truro town centre after 11 on a Friday or Saturday night.

Totally wrong. I have no opinion on life in London. I haven’t lived there for 65 years. I observe parts of it when I visit, very occasionally, and am very pleased I don’t now. I didn’t like it 65 years ago because it was crowded, impolite and expensive. That’s seems not to have improved.

What I comment on is not life in London but the attitudes displayed here by some who do. I don’t doubt your wife was afraid to walk down the road in broad daylight. I felt the same walking past the Blind Beggar in Whitechapel 65 years ago. I don’t do it now through choice and nor, I suspect, does your wife. Which is the point. We all have choices. If you choose to live there, for whatever reason, then clearly those reasons outweigh the reasons not to. It seems to me that some just get stuck in a rut, are incapable of dealing with things so just moan about them. Which is their responsibility. Not their environment.

I choose to live in Cornwall. Which means neither the West End nor Selhurst Park are on my doorstep. Beaches, fresh air, good sailing, great fishing, The Hall for Cornwall and Truro City are though. I have made a choice. Others make theirs, or are too lazy to try.

You had a couple of unfortunate experiences here some years ago. They happen! There are a*se holes everywhere. What I have pointed out is that your experience was untypical, based on my own which now extends for 15 years.

Providing verification for any personal experience on a forum is next to impossible. Sharing them is all you can do and hope that your word is trusted. I don’t doubt your tales of being badly treated here even without them being verified.

Wow.
Privileged boomer spends his days on his yacht.
Implies that other not so fortunate, presumably including teenage girl victims of urban grooming gangs, are to blame for where they live because they are 'too lazy' to get out.

It is a mystery! One of my first wife’s family lived in Southall during the time the character changed. He worked on building sites, little education, self taught Jack of all trades and reliable. He left with nothing but a new wife and a car and, coincidentally came to Cornwall. His brother followed, then his parents. He bought, and renovated, a tumble down cottage whilst living in a caravan, using Dad’s money. That cottage now extended is worth close to £1 mil. He set up a highly successful building business with his brother and became seriously wealthy, building a lovely home for his parents as well.

It all depends on what is most important and your determination to get it. The attitudes depend on how you deal with the experience. They can either motivate you to action or to a moanfest.

Ok, so the shooting of Kray’s rival didn’t happen until 1966 but Whitechapel was pretty scary long before that and the Krays reputation well known. I had to use the adjacent tube station and didn’t hang around.

It just isn't that easy. If it was the population of Belfast would have moved out. They must have really enjoyed a good moan.
 
The 'blind' seem to be their latest target group for arrest.

Saying this sentence I feel like I should pinch myself to check this is still the real world

They all know PA is a terrorist group.
When does pushing the boundaries to try to prove a point end for these idiots. PA have form and these people are like their pawns. In reality if PA or it’s top cared they would come out and advise these twats to not get arrested in their behalf but like Hamas, they use the innocent for their propaganda and gain alone. Blind or disabled, stop being twats.

You are right, but only in one thing. I am a boomer but I am not privileged and I don’t own a yacht. I earned every penny I have myself. I neither Inherited nor was given anything.

I am not any more fortunate than anyone who started out on the bottom rung. I just posses determination and a little ability.
