England is getting more dangerous by the day. Most cities in England are no go areas. It is frightening. No police protection. I pity the elderly and the vulnerable.

Still ignoring the elephant in the room.....so expect the killings to continue.

One would think that it is the result of police being working on that Novichok poisoning and Russian spies...

I know I'm going to sound like an old fart, but youth clubs and police may be part of it, but the lack of respect for others plays a hand, gang culture, and poor parenting plays a larger part. IMO

It’s all down to importing 3rd world savages nothing more and nothing less

And tonight, services being cut results in cuts in services shock.

The last Commons MP Debate on this Issue in December 2018, Was Attended by 0 Politicians That Was Televised on BBC Parliament..this Shows outward Negligence by the State, but will then Speak to the Press & throw bits & pieces of Cash at the Problem for short term Public Assurance

Go and watch Tim Lovejoy's pod cast with the ex-undercover drug squad officer. Fair play, Police cuts are not helpful, but how you deploy the police and what you try to enforce is what drives the issues in our society today.

Whatever you do, don’t blame the culprits.... 🙄

Correct .. needs sorting ASAP as it is accelerating
