I'm guessing you're quoting me... Honestly you won't get robbed in central Manchester in the daytime, nor acid attacked. I'd wager my own money on droughtmeat being perfectly OK. He might be shocked at the visible demographic reality if he mills around Piccadilly Gardens, but that's it.

The terror threat and moped gangs are new and obviously something that really needs to be looked at, but the gang crime is nothing new and was much worse in the 90s. Media are just making it a focus currently. Same with the county lines thing. Gangs from my city Birmingham, as well as Manchester, were all over the country with organised drugs networks since back in the 90s. I'm sure London gangs were too. But if you read the news you'd think it was a new thing.
Also, some of the most dangerous areas I've seen are deprived white areas, so immigration isn't the only issue here.
Point is, the UK is still a really good place to live and the chance of any harm coming to you from this stuff is really low.

Bro. Let us be for real, the nicest areas are white British. Worst areas are majority black and/or muslim,
I remember living in Canterbury one summer and it was like living in Australia. Quality of life was soooo much better.
I'm not cooning but there is a reason why minorities moved to the majority white countries in the first place. Hell, even when minorities get two pennies to rub together, they move to the white suburbs.

I still remember the old rough areas in Germany and UK. I talked with older Brits who came from working-class old rough mostly-White British areas. You know what the difference was? You could get your ass beaten a bit, some guys could rough you up, but you almost never heard of knives being pulled over an insult, someone stabbed to death over nothing or you hardly ever heard of fucking acid attacks (500 per year in London alone). That is new and arrived in the 1990s accelerating constantly.
Getting beaten up a bit in more or less honest fist-fights is a far cry away from the barbarism that diversity brought. And never mind the middle-class+ areas - they were far safer than anything seen today.

Yeah even if whites and Arabs do the exact same number of robberies, do you prefer the "flash weapon give cash" technique or "melt your face with acid" technique (as the victim?)

I agree the nicest areas are mainly white and the roughest are pretty black, but trust me I've been at mainly white housing estates and tower blocks where I was well out of my comfort zone and just wanted to get the fuck out of there, and I grew up until my early teens in an area of Birmingham that is home to one of the city's main black gangs. The old days of fist fights are long gone. Guns and knives are everywhere and have been as long as I can remember.

Gangs from Birmingham were sending people out to towns all over the place like Northampton, Gloucester, Sheffield etc. and setting up crack houses because the local drug dealers were seen as soft targets since back in the 90s. Nottingham and Manchester gangs were doing the same. I don't know about London but I imagine it would have been the same. The model was exactly the same as it is now. Maybe there's more chancers getting into it now but it really is nothing new.

Aren’t the gangs in brum all Pakistani??

Lol that’s why I don’t visit

I'll be in Birmingham tomorrow for the UKIP conference. It's my least favourite UK city, of the ones I've been to of course. It feels like a fucking dump, though I'm sure there are nice areas. Also, the amount of Muslims (and young male black youths, if I'm completely honest with my own prejudice/awareness of difference) in the main shopping centre a few years ago shocked me significantly.

There are of course Pakistani gangs in Brum but the two biggest most violent gangs are black. Then you've got the football firm The Zulus who are a mix of black and white and have got a lot of the doors in nightlife. The black gangs have calmed down a lot compared to what it was like in the nineties and early two-thousands though.
Teedub it is a bit of a shit-hole but if you live somewhere decent and know where to go out to then it's pretty good. I prefer London and Manchester though, even Bristol, Leeds, and Sheffield are better but too small.

Took a wrong turn and ended up driving through Sparkhill the other week. Jeez, 'diversity' = no diversity, just downtown Kabul. Drew a lot of looks. Same goes for when I went to watch my team play West Brom a couple of years ago. Drove through some area that was again like downtown Kabul. On the other hand, Edgbaston is quite nice, or at least around the cricket ground. Still, hate to visit Brum with family. With a four man SAS squad perhaps, but with kids in tow it really doesn't feel safe.

Where I live is probably one of the 'whitest' areas in the UK. I literally have to go to the nearest city to see any non-whites, so can go weeks with seeing no-one but my own folk.
Crime-wise it's one of the safest (some years it gets voted as
the safest). Make of that what you will. I don't want to get into differences between races (as frankly I wouldn't know and it's too impolite a subject to venture into) but it's commonsense to think that a high-trust, homogeneous society will get on better together. Muhammad Ali knew it; 'birds of a feather flocking together' or whatever it was he said.
Whenever I go further south I get a fit of the vapours as I'm so far out of my comfort zone. I've never been to my capital city London, but I've no desire to see it, what I've seen on TV puts me off, it's all drugs, stabbings, shootings and acid attacks. If someone gets stabbed where I live it will keep people in gossip for years. Decades ago our one and only drug dealer was shot and killed by a rival 'from the city' and people still talk about it in hushed tones in the corner of the pub. The biggest problem our police face is speeding motorists.
On a related note I see that Muhammed is yet again the top Boys name in the UK (if you add the 3
incredibly similar spellings together).

It will be No.1 forever-more now. Soon, Achmed or something will be number 2 and even then the shitlibs and cucks in the UK won't be able to admit and accept the full horror of what they're responsible for.
