I forgot to mention it was Lounged for going off topic and being too chatty.


Apologies SCSB79 but as you had posted a concluding post I decided to move it to the Lounge where the conversation could continue. I can de-Lounge should you request it, I got da power.

But I didn't did I. If you want a debate why don't you start one instead of hiding behind you so-called witticisms.

Wrong side of bed, Jah?


I just had a sudden thought that with this being the third thread in as many weeks about 'gangs/groups' of (mostly) black youths coupled with a few facts such as black youths being disproportionately more likely (than eg white youths) to be the victim of crime; to be involved in crime and last but not least to be suspected of being involved in crime even if they aren't - in a forum where most people spend more time arguing about whether you can say 'a group of black youths' if 100% of them aren't black, or black enough.. then possibly there might be other avenues for discussion here.


But if you want to put it all down to hi-jinks because when you were a lad you used to hang around the off licence and throw chips at your mates, then fine.

I am aforementioned neighbour to SCSB79 and I did speak to the safer neighbourhood team and they did say that they would send a 'unit' round (sounds heavy) if we ever needed them to.. its just difficult to know whether its necessary or not.. as mamafeelgood says though, don't think of it as hassling the police but helping them... I just wish da yoof would hang around on their own doorsteps.. not ours.!

    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
