If you have the means to live in a better area and only generally deal with a "better class" of person....then you'll be oblivious to the rest of society.

I would suggest that those people really need to check out the environments where other people live.

Take a little walk through Toxteth, Brixton, Moss Side etc. If you think you can do it and come out unscathed, then go for it and prove me wrong.

In fact go to any major town and look beneath the surface of the glossy shopping malls etc. Cos you're going to find a very different Britain than what you're familiar with.

These tree hugging lefties always blame the media for their portrayal of the bad conditions in Britain.

The MEDIA is responsible!

Well I'll tell you something.....visit a cashpoint at midnight in any big city centre!

Suddenly you hear noises behind you as you take out your cash!

And at that point the cold hard truth is going to hit you.......a Daily Mail reporter is now the least of your worries.
I agree to a point, but sadly you could say that about anywhere in the world, includin spain, there are areas of Madrid, Malaga..... you wouldnt feel safe in.

What bothers me is the british media reporting these things and to the "young thugs" reading about it, it almost makes it seem alright, or "big" and "permitted" so they go and do it!

In my opinion, the UK is so bad these days due to frustration, dissatisfaction and above all, no decent punishments or laws. The UK is so soft and forgiving that its no big deal to be bad anymore!!!
