Even back in the 80s London was know in Biker circles as "Shit city" and I don't think it has improved in the last 30 years!!

Historicaly larger towns and cities have always had thier rough bits due to large working class populations. Not blaming the working class of course, its a simple product of cramming too many people together that need to be there for the low paid work.
Take it to today and not everyone is willing or able to live in the tiny village in the west country, its that simple, and if they did, then wave bye bye to the leafy lanes.
There are plus and minus on both sides http://news.sky.com/story/1119661/english-countryside-hit-by-rural-penalty
City areas and larger towns that had 'rough and ready' bits to them are total pits now imo. The problem is we are so overcrowded population wise I can't see how anyone can say they are safe.

i can see some citys ending up like detroit , no taxs from the many unemployed leading to more cuts no services so workers and those who can move away = less tax =less spending on local services = more cuts empty homes,shops going on and on

"people in rural areas have more worth nicking"! where do you get that from? maybe in the home counties but not north devon, this is high unemployment, minimum wage country!!

my village is split in two council housing built in the 30s for farm workers and cooks and cleaners ect for the big houses /farms these people are worth loads with stable blocks costing more than a house mum dad and kids all driving 4x4 s private pools private schools antiques everywhere .
half my street works for them
RE: do you live in a hotspot for civil unrest?? - bigpaul - 25 July 2013
not down here they aren't, all the big houses are owned by The National Trust and all the farms are small one man operations with little or no money in the bank, the big money is made on the "agri businesses" which do all the MONO cropping, North Devon is hill country and its mainly sheep.

Many will seek out country retreats .....but alas no warning shots from my household, not that I will be out for confrontation, I will hide or steer away from trouble BUT I will protect mine with brutal fatal force make no mistake.
