Something I read this morning:
and this from a few days ago:
Do people remember when London had very low crime levels compared to American cities? Now we are on a par with them, ahead of some of them even. Very sad.

It seems that when you allow millions of people into Britain from places like Jamaica, Somalia and Pakistan, Britain becomes significantly more similar to places like Jamaica, Somalia and Pakistan. You have to be an intellectual for this to be a surprise.

"London is turning into Los Angeles..."
Lol. Total bullshit of course. However the UK does seem to follow the USA when it comes to certain things. Like crime and obesity for instance. Gun possession and gun crime here is small compared to USA where having guns is part of the culture.

Yeah, I spent a weekend in Llandudno recently and felt I was right in the middle of an episode of Miami Vice.

You want to go to Chapel St Leonards*. It's like downtown Detroit.
*Near Skegness. It's on the East Coast (of England not Amerika).

If you think Chapel St Leonards is tough, you wouldn't want to spend a day or two in Winchester. Bullet-ridden bodies all round the cathedral.
I know where they got the name of the rifle from now!

It seems millions of goody two shoes Brits who have gone abroad have never ever committed one crime EVER. You have to be a complete idiot if you believe that.

Llandudno, Chapel St Leonards and Winchester. Hmmm. Which areas of London are they in? My geography teacher always told me I never paid enough attention in class, maybe he was right. Llandudno, that's in west London isn't it? Not far from Ealing if memory serves. Chapel St Leonards, isn't that in north London, just off the Holloway Road I seem to recall. Oh and Winchester, that's somewhere to the east isn't it, a mile from the Olympic Stadium if I remember rightly?
Remember chaps this thread is called 'London is turning into Los Angeles', not 'Britain...'
As the first article says: 'One of the biggest collections of guns ever seized by the Metropolitan Police was found during a raid in Leyton.' The second article says: 'Criminal minions from west London who were instructed by prisoner masterminds using illegally-held mobile telephones how to buy and modify obsolete firearms into live-firing deadly weapons have been convicted alongside their paymasters...' More than enough firearms to equip a posse of baddies for a whole episode of Miami Vice, me thinks...

I don't see where Robches did claim that Britons have never committed a crime abroad. Can you point out where he says that?
He could also have added that foreigners who commit a crime here get a much easier time than the Britons who commit crimes abroad.
This chap on the run from this country fell foul of Spanish criminals:
A British woman and an Irish man have been sent to two months in prison after they were arrested for having sex in the back of a taxi in Dubai last year.
British mother jailed for life in Pakistan for drug smuggling to keep baby with her in prison
Whereas here:
