The Russians run London.
They've taken over the drugs/clubs etc
Ex KGB guys. They've got the money and the power.
They laugh at how easy it was to get a hold of this city.
The guys in the video don't seem to be ex KGB guys rather young idiots with nothing to do but make trouble.
I really don't like English people at all... :-X
Dirty obese mother fuckers living in shitty little houses like rodents, rioting over a kids game (soccer) and generally just being little bitches to their queen.
Did I mention that they stink...
Sorry, that was wrong of me... I forgot to mention all the ugly English bastards that are malnourished...
I'll admit it, the United States is full of dumb mother fuckers walking around excited about their next gigantic meal. The English make us look intelligent and fit though...

Good post, except for the fact that England shouldn't be considered part of Europe. The English are more disgusting than Americans in every way. :)
not true,
english people have one great thing going over US people - they arent so fake .
I mean, I am portuguese and I loook at brazilians like english look at americans and I see a common american (as in continent) character trait which is fake friendliness. I'd rather get some rude truths than some forced smiles and bright hellos from people who dont give a shit about you.
It must be a longitudinal effect yet to be discovered by the best minds in science as you cross the atlantic the bulshit hormone levels start to rise
As for gangs in london ur about 1/1000000.. as likely to get killed in london as in any major US city.
Shit even their teeth are not as bad as americans portray it.
Maybe you'd get a sincere smile from us if you people weren't so fucking dull.... :-\
I visited some relatives in England this Summer. A small town/village in the middle of no-where, Derbyshire. My Uncle told me it would be (in the next few days) the site of that year's National Front rally. Can you believe it!? I wonder if MattC was a featured speaker?

I have just seen the video below. Is it really that bad in this city? ???
I googled it and learned that there are only a few boroughs where I don't get stabbed at broad daylight. Of course these are the one where I could rent a studio for hundreds of pounds per week...
Any secret tip on a cheaper, but quiet and friendly suburban area?
Isn't England much safer than the US? I thought cops don't even carry guns there, is that true? Anyways there are thugs and gangs anywhere in the world but if people can live in cities like Detroit, Baltimour and St Louise I'm sure anywhere in the UK would be fine. Even the rougher spots of London and Manchester would be like Beverly hills compared to some of the major cities in the USA and places like Compton.
Just watched the video and they say SEVERAL TEENAGERS DIED FROM VIOLENCE LAST YEAR! Wow, several! What an epidemic they have there. Hell in Toronto we have more people killed from gang violence than that. They said they were all black victims and there killers were all black too. Why is it that the blacks are doing 90% of the killing in Canada and the UK? In 2005 here in Canada it was dubbed by the papers "the summer of the gun". Out of the 75 murders in Toronto 62 were blacks killed by other blacks. Yet they still cry "racist" when they are profiled accordingly.

Were you there for the rally? If so was there a big turn out?No. I did a road trip to see other relatives in Dorset and then Norfolk. From what my Uncle told me it was a whole bunch of ado about nothing. It was held in a sympathetic farmer's field, and some windows were broken and citizens didn't like such a grouping in their area; it really came to nothing. It was an embarrassment more than anything.

Violent crime rates:
In the UK it is 2,034 per 100,000 people.
In the US it is 469 per 100,000 people.
Perspective on the matter.
Imagine a ghetto or a trailer park and times it by 10, pretty much what the whole country is representative of.

where do these numbers come from ?
Put guns in the hands of law abiding citizens and watch their crime rate plummet.

Not sure that would be very popular with the monarchy though... :-\

Canning Town, Barking or Dagenham.
Why would you recommend anyone to those areas!
The only good thing about Canning Town was the Bridge House but that was pulled down years ago.
Dagenham and Barking have cheap rents because they are awful places to live!
But real English people are decent people
Like real irish people here are honest hardworking people
We,like england,and america before us,are taking in the worlds scum
We dont need or want africans,romanians or latvians
They are no benefit to us,or england
I wonder what is our governments hidden agenda by happily allowing the scum come here and live comfortably on welfare here

Violent crime is much lower in Britain than in America and according to crime statistics by Scotland Yard London crime has been steadily declining for many years. The British media however loves to dramatize crime, because bad news sells better.
So i wouldn't be that concerned. Like in every big city (London has more than 8 million people) there are areas that are less safe than others.
I have lived in London for 8 years and go everywhere on my bike (bicycle, not motorbike) including some so called "bad" neighbourhoods and never got into any tricky situation.
What do you want to do in London ? What is important to you ?
Apartment prices mainly depend on the post code, which then determines which schools kids go to and on transport links. So if you don't have kids in school age and therefore don't care about schools, you can find good deals at the border between good and not so good post codes.
The presence of a good tube (subway) station can make entire areas very pricy. Many places that don't have tube stations can still have good connections with buses or overland trains, and are significantly less expensive.
In general there is central London (subway zone 1) which is very expensive, then there is a ring of not so nice but relatively central neighbourhoods, followed by a ring of suburban family friendly neighbourhoods.
There are some areas that are very popular with foreigners because they featured in literature or movies (St. James, Chelsea, Notting Hill) or because they have international (French, Italian, German etc.) schools (South Kensington). These tend to be very overpriced.
There are very nice areas with not so good transport links that are affordable: Crouch End for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crouch_End . Great for families, but don't expect any trendy nightclubs...
Scotland yard statistics are dubious at best, they probably register about one in ten violent crimes, thank goverment corruption for these fixed figures. Even then they are shockingly bad.

Worst in europe, far in excess of America.
As i previously stated, it is a cultural abyss.

So you trust the Daily Mail ?
::) ::) ::)
So you trust the home office?
Please, take a step outside. It's pretty clear that all forms of antisocial behaviour have exponentially increased in the last decade. At no point in it's history was it of any particular cultural merit, but it is no doubt worse of late.
If you are of the opinion that this country is some kind of utopia i pity you. It is and always has been the laughing stock of europe.
::) ::) ::)
So you trust the home office?
Nope I don't. But I do believe that the worst places in London are less bad than the worst places in LA, Paris or New York and that you can live safely in most parts of London as long as you're reasonable in your choice of neighbourhood and company.

So he would get the real London experience and meet charming, "cor blimey, guv" salt of the earth types.
So we are supposed to believe you and one article posted by you over the statistics of Scotland yard? ::) Ok there buddy. The cops in England don't even carry guns. Who gives a shit about fist fights, that shouldn't count as a violent crime. Maybe if you inlcude minor assaults England ranks high but when you count the murders England is very low. How many murders does London have an average per year? Then look at how many happen annually in Detroit, St Louis and Baltimore.
Being physically attacked should not count as violent crime? ::) ::) ::)
There is zero point in having a debate with someone who would say something so imbecilic.
Haha America leads the world in obesity. Soccer is the biggest game on earth. The queen admittedly blows, but we all know it. I do currently stink, but I just had a wank.
Europe is run byNope! Europe is run by weak leftist governments that "feed" the colonization in our territory of the muslim, african scum, allied to a strengthning gay influence in our society!

London looks depressing. Shit weather, ugly people, bad teeth.............fuckin paradise. ::)I have never desired to go there for the same reasons.
The tube was a fantastic way to get around and the city is certainly walkable (particularly between tube stations). Less fat people too. Public railway doesn't work in most US cities because they are so spread out...and the fact that it attracts too many low lives who harass and rob people. I didn't gather that from the London underground. I felt safer in London than I did in most big inner cities in the US.So true. Taking the tube from, say, Hyde Park, and then coming up to see St. Paul's right in front of you is staggering. If you even just look at all the tube stops, each name means something - ie. a book title, a movie, an character in literature. We in the West only know these names through indirect reference, but in London these names are real, history. Makes you think.
That said, I think the influx of low income, low educated immigrants has probably made the city worse than it would be otherwise, still I really enjoyed my time there. Very cool to see that they preserve so many old buildings, palaces, churches, historical landmarks, etc.
Rumor is that a lot a britt politicans a terrorist loving homos with chopped off wangs
Please tell me that wasn't supposed to be an insult?!I've always liked the irony that there is, like, 200+ cctv cameras within 500m of Orwell's London house. Even he would do a *facepalm*
I can assure you most of us Britts would agree with you.
London looks depressing. Shit weather, ugly people, bad teeth.............fuckin paradise. ::)
London is a fucking shithole that is full of cockney gobshites that cant pronounce their r's or th's; a burgeoning feral underclass; hordes of vile Somalians and a smug, Guardian reading white middleclass.
However, in answer to the OP's question, I would look at renting somewhere in Canning Town, Barking or Dagenham. All are cheap and you will get to have an authentic experience of living in London.
I've lived in London all my life and I can confirm the depravity and shithole(ness) of this place. I live in Finchley Road which is all white, nice and close to any area that's worth living in London. Anything, anywhere south of the river Thames is not worth going. Full of queers and blacks which brings down the whole tone of the place. London is full of disgusting little birdcage-like houses which is FAR more expensive than your average American house. I might take flak for this but the (white) Europeans that immigrated here brings it up for me a bit. The Asian and Africans who live south of the city turns it into Islamabad or Nairobi where they're usually from.
London does have a wicked night life if you know where to go. Slamming this place is one thing, but it's the best place to live in England. Any smaller town is usually stack with decrepit town centres, inbred teenagers sitting around on stolen peddle bikes with pasty faces and ear studs, just generally being a fucking nuisance. The Southwest of the county is still lovely, leafy and white and completely worth visiting. However, you have to deal with narrow-minded small town mentalities. It's usually families that can trace their roots back 20000000000000 years to within a square mile of where they live. The whole ancestry has also never been outside that square mile so they know fuck all of life and the real world outside their little closed communities. One can also not help but notice the uncanny resemblance everyone in the town shares with each other. Almost like they all share the same father.
The English language doesn't allow me strong and enough adjectives describing the North of the country and the industrial drunken wastelands it is. That used to be true blue heartland, until football and drink replaced the culture it once had. Now they're all on the dole (benefits) or work in factories (like father like son) reading tabloids, idolising scratch-an-sniff armpit celebs and drinking away whatever little they earn in railway pubs.
If you all want to know more about England, just ask. Always happy to teach unsuspecting people about this muddy island.
Very good summary, classic post.
James
Immigration from Islamic countries, even former commonwealth countries, must be stopped at once.
Agree or disagree?
Unlike the rich cosmopolitan US heartlands full of open minded , well educated people lol
Very good summary, classic post.
I'm going to take a ball kicking for this but no, I don't really care about immigration. I care about you falling in line with Britain's rules and culture and not flap your little black wings every time you can construe something as 'offensive'. This goes for Muslims and those Commonwealth Countries (South Africa, Australia, NZ, Canada, Malaysia and many others, for those that don't know) citizens. Australians are THE top Non-EU (legal) immigrants to the UK. They can all come here for all I care, absolutely blinding people. It's only fair as well, Britain is filter out to Oz anyway. I call a spade and spade and it's the Spades that doesn't necessarily attempt to get with the program, but somehow find a way to play the victim. Anyone heard this before? ::) . The Canadians, Kiwis, Aussies and Saffers fit in easily and not puff their chests at all. After all, they're here on Her Majesty's invitation and can quickly get fucked off should they become bothersome as different rules usually apply to their stay here. (Disclaimer: I think nothing of that old ####, The queen)
What does raise bile to my throat and have me spew poison is our politicians. Fucking no good jobworths slimy girls. They opened the borders to this country to every sperm bag, its burka'd whore and their 47 kids. This is not every immigrant I'm on about, it's the ones that crawl over here with no intention of ever working and becoming a contributing member of society, but just to leech and mooch as much as they can and hope it last long enough before their doors get kicked down and their throats stomped on. Don't see it as a meltdown as I'm typing this with a (admittedly forced) smile on my face.
That is enough about immigrants. In short, please come, stay, but get a job and learn the language.
Our indigenous generation of British born dole-tossing rats warrant a whole new discussion.
Perfect book title for a description of London.

I agree!
We have the same problems that are facing Britain in Canada, not to sound racist but both countries need to shut the floodgates closed, way too much trash is getting in, I myself am a European immigrant living in Canada (great country) but I took the my immigration seriously and immersed myself in Canadian culture and hsitory, I bothered to learn the language perfectly. I speak, read and write it fluently went through the high school system here , through college, university and work full time supporting myself and my fiancee, pay taxes, etc. the norm. Then I see these families of 30 with their 18 children, 4 aunts, 6 cousins and etc. coming over, not speaking (or bothering to learn) a single word of english to live and mooch off the social assistance system, it disgusts me. As a hard working tax payer I think welfare should be completely abolished or given as a maximum of 3 months ONCE per lifetime. It's getting ridiculous these bastards get government housing (rent is $60.00 a month) whereas I pay $1,100.00 monlthy, and an amount of money for each child they have on support. On average it's about 6 kids, on top of that the dad still works ilegally under the table for cash...it's ridiculous.www.resist.com

Look man,every developed country is fucked by immigration
Ireland was a very prosperous country 5yrs ago,then they allowed every animal in from africa and gypsy in from romania
What sense does it make? They are no good for here,or england,or canada,or usa
Its just nobody here will actuallyh do anything about it (except in Belfast,where they kept burnin down d houses of romanian scum ;D)
Really interesting discussion. I guess I mainly enjoyed the history and architecture. What has been said about certain immigrants and naitives that just want to collect the benefits of the government entitlements is really concerning, particularly as the U.S. seems to be leaning more in that direction as of late. I think social programs are pushed with benevolent (good) intentions but they have unexpected consequences. Yeah, there is no way that open borders attracting lazy foreigners to sap off the system (with others work and pay high taxes to support them) is a good idea.This was our last chance
England has a real issue with not being able to control the radical muslims within their borders too. I hope to see more natives grow a backbone and the upstanding muslims throw these A-holes out. We are too PC for our own good these days...another idea that has good intentions but has bit us in the arse.
you have to deal with families that can trace their roots back 20000000000000 years to within a square mile of where they live.
Someone ought explain to you our National Health and Social Welfare systems which were put in place after WWII. They nearly worked.Nice point.
Oh and has anyone ever explained to you the Commonwealth? Don't you remember Australia Africa America India etc? It's payback time and Britain must take all comers. Disaster.
