Have to be honest mate, I've always felt safe in London, and certainly a lot safer than some English Towns. I think what also helps with London is what I see as a high Met Police presence, whether you trust the cops or not is another matter, but their visiability to visitors and tourists is reassuring. I don't feel that crime is any higher than any other location I visit, and considering London is our major capital City that's impressive. Obviously I'm not there to scratch the surface and it will have it's problems. Whether you are in London, Canterbury, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Glasgow, those problems exist. I don't think there is anything that particulalry makes London stand out as the worst.
Got me thinking about the most populated cities now, so top 100 in 2022, you need to scroll down and it's 2 pages. 72 Canterbury...lol so quite way down on the list, Maidstone 66, Rochester lost it's City status I believe. Brighton 32. London easily number 1. https://www.ciphr.com/infographics/biggest-cities-in-the-uk-by-population
Exactly, a lot of parents don't realise what their little Tommy is up to, but when they find out he's dead meat lol I didn't do nothing bro.
Although it states about looking into how young people get drawn into extreme violence... Didn't his parents originally come from somewhere like Somalia, where they had to escape extreme violence? I really do hope any inquiry does not whitewash over this connection. If you or your parents come from places such as Somlia and Sudan, even Syria, these questions need to be asked, especially when you seek refuge in a country where it's help for psychological traumas is virtually non existent and you are just left to get on with it, in our so called care in the community system.
It’ll cost about £2m and tell us absolutely **** all. Great gig if you can get it. Can probably get ChatGPT to write half the **** nowadays.
ah Rwanda....don't know why I thought it was Somalia. I knew the parents had escaped some atrocity, genocide. My concern is what did his parents tell him about their past life, it must have an enormous psychological impact, especially if he starts researching what his parents escaped. I know they will want to point that to the internet, but what can you do unless you censor past horror stories.
There is a fine line between what you share with your kids and what you protect them from - one of the trickiest areas of parenting. My old girl never went into much detail about living through 'the Blitz' until I was in my late twenties - she would have been 11 and my old man 9 when the war broke out ...
