I am sure there was a thread regarding scooter gangs, but it seems to have disappeared, so since I can't add this report to that thread, I might as well start a another one, pointing out what our once wonderful capital has become.

I would hate to live in London. No wonder the Queen *** off to Windsor whenever she gets the chance.

[Islay]

No

[ToraToraTora]

yes I started a thread earlier AOG.

As I said the other day, we are heading for martial law in London and other cities. The problem is that a generation of hand wringing liberals have handed control to the feral savages that now infest the streets. Until someone has the bottle to take it back we are up a certain creek without a certain instrument.

"Public humiliation and exposure will stop these crimes in their tracks" Of course they won't - the criminals couldn't care less and their brazenness is testament to that.

New York was cleaned up by a zero tolerance policy but that won't happen in London because of lack of resources

There isn't any exposure when you've got your face covered by a balaclava

Might be a good idea to bring back the 10,000 police officers that our illustrious Prime Minister cut.

If only Gromit.

Tell that to the family of Jean Charles de Menezes.

Have to agree with you Gromit , it is all down to the present Conservative Government ,who have not got a clue how to handle this situation, or even how to Govern any crisis. Just look how they are TRYING to handle Brexit , they are an absolute Disgrace.

No, London is not becoming notorious for crime.

There has been a recent surge in street violence and moped mugging. Moped mugging (can’t think of a better word) has been picked up as it’s an extremely efficent method of theft - it’s quick.

However, looking at international papers, our current problems don’t seem to have gained much traction.
