    Thanks for posting that. Along with other published verified facts it gives the lie to the gammons talking bollocks on social media disgraces and the likes of GB news, news they call it, they're 'avin a larf.

    Litter bothers me massively, probably beyond proportion. However, it's better than when I was a kid. It's better than it was 15 years ago. I worked significantly in San Francisco for many years (I lived in Seattle, but went home less often than I would like) and none of this is accurate I'm afraid. I still have many friends and ex colleagues that do live there and work/run large corporations. None of this is accurate - I'm not just relying on media for this, I have first hand knowledge. You can use this or believe the lies you are told. That's your choice. Just so you know, homelessness across the USA was a huge issue 50+ years ago, it's not new, it's not due to immigration.

    My lame stat was an experience of the other day. I can't remember the exact number, but the £30k was actually £49 per week. It was made up hyperbole designed to create outrage towards the current government's actions. It wasn't true. It wasn't about hiding the truth, it was contesting lies.

    I asked a lot of questions based on your post. Blair opened the floodgates doesn't really answer any of them and is completely anecdotal. Back up your post.

    Seems to be just an attention seeker, posts the rubbish to see what responses it will get, but never responds to the responder, never answers simple questions and never justifies the posts.

    Yes “Sensationalist”

    When your family is directly impacted by knife crime and gangs I suspect you’ll feel differently

    Yea of course, anyone that points out the obvious truth about how bad things are in the country is a “bot” or a a “troll”

    When you lose family members to rampant crime and see how bad things are then come and speak to me and see how much of a troll you feel then.

    The truth is the country is broken and people pretending things are hunky dory is speeding up the decline.

    You are all complicit by your inability to spot the glaring issues facing our society

    You choose to believe whatever fits your beliefs then :)

    I am 100% sure you can find homeless people in California.

    So you’re just going to ignore the factual post underneath that which informs you that what you posted was bollocks.

    But I’ll start simple, just for you, because it seems more than that is too difficult.

    You posted that London was “unrecognisable” and that “London has fallen”. If that were the case, it doesn’t matter which part of London I live in, does it? Unless, of course, you’re hysterically sensationalising.

    So which is it, Os?

    Or, put a different way.

    “Some areas of a city aren’t nice, so I’ll pretend they apply to a whole city” - every simple racist ****.

    Daft, it easy to spot the issues, doing anything about it is the problem, just posting a series of random articles will solve nothing. If you don't like what is happening in the UK, try to find somewhere better, I bet you that you cannot.

    Yes of course, the old racism card

    As soon as people point out how badly Labour are doing, they’re suddenly racist. Classic

    Still ignoring the facts and the questions. Classic. Every time I think you might be turning a corner, might be worth engaging with, you come back and disappoint with some utterly ridiculous bollocks. It’s pathetic.

    Here’s an idea for you. If you don’t want people calling you racist or thinking you an idiot, stop saying racist and idiotic things.

    London has been cosmopolitan since it was founded in the 1st century AD by the Romans. It was founded by foeigners !

    If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck
