Current Affairs The "another stabbing in London" thread

[orchard]

Do deterrents deter? You look at the States and the death penalty doesn't seem to result in lower violent crime rates.

Not if the conviction rate is low.

Over the past decade, about 550,000 more Britons left London than moved to it.

Not surprised.

[Beeeeeep] hole.

Not all down to choice though was it?

Every city has areas which are rough, London has plenty of nice areas. Why stereotype based on just the bad bits ? Isn't that how Liverpool got a bad rep back in ye day ?

I'm just winding @Bruce Wayne up mate.

This trend is not unique to London; it is seen in many big US cities, including New York, Miami, Chicago and Los Angeles.

So why has the capital's population continued to grow despite so many people leaving? It can be explained by two factors.

The first was its birth rate: 790,000 more people were born in London than died between 2009 and 2017.

The second factor was international immigration. There was an increase of 860,000 between 2009 and 2017, with more than half coming from the EU. By 2017, 3.6 million people living in the city were born overseas.

I know, I can see the GPS beeping in your kitchen. You are quite okay to sleep in the bed rather than under it though.

I'm planning my sequel to my Thailand thread.

Stabbed in Wandsworth should be a riveting read.

Get down to Tooting lido and after a few laps your nipples will count as dangerous weapons.

Agreed. My life story is a sad bbc3 series waiting to happen.

So another guy gets stabbed, because a couple of guys want to steal his scooter. A potential life for a scooter worth a few hundred pounds.....it’s sickening, yet somehow there are people on here who just accept it, while those of us who object or react and want it sorted, apparently don’t really understand London and it’s people. And they are right, I don’t.......

But these vermin wouldn’t be out stabbing people if they could all just be playing ping pong in a youth club somewhere...
