Is East London a dangerous place to live?

Basically, he would have won. Worse was the others were wearing masks over mouths. I should have left it alone. However, if the scooter had hit me it could have been serious.

Yes we'd have probably been hearing about your stabbing on the news.

It changed enormously in the 20 years that I lived 15 minutes around the A406 from there. I suspect you parents wouldn’t recognise the place.

Romford has changed a lot in the past 20 odd years as well, wouldn’t say it’s a dump, some areas are quite run down and it’s getting too busy now. I’m in my late 30s and its amazing how much change you notice as you get older.
 
It’s a dump where you went. I’d never willingly go there and unsurprised by your story.

Pro tip- in London do not engage the locals in abuse. Best case is what happened today. Worst case is Newham is the last place you ever go.
 
London generally is a tip, I’m originally for Islington and even though it’s generally regarded as a “nice” borough - it’s still a dump.

Feral gangs and useless policing, hated it at the time but very glad my parents moved to Hampshire when I was 15.

Load of nonsense.

If you think London is a tip, ever been to Basingstoke? Or Aldershot?
 
I think we're hitting the stage of behavioural sink in a lot of the country now. I was walking out of the pub earlier and was confronted by what I assume was a 9 year old being aggressive to me. I wanted to stomp the little "darling" but just stared him out and walked on.

Any part of London is truly awful these days. It's making me wish for a benevolent dictatorship where bad behaviour is not tolerated.

Turn down the wrong street in any major city and you could have a bad day… if you look out of place, you look like an easy target for some..

Numerous areas are absolutely fine I've lived in Richmond, Twickenham and Putney over the past few years. All very safe, very green and really nice areas to live.

Yes vote for me when you get the chance.

I will conduct police and military reforms not seen since Marius.

But can you handle the death toll in exchange for a 99% reduction in all crime?
