Last year the village news letter had the shock horror headlines of " Community Center Fencing Vandalised"
We get minor vandalism and stupidity, we have had two burglaries in 5 years in the village, we get lots of townies speeding through our village, but we dont have gangs of knife or gun weilding thugs of whatever ethnicity, worst we tend to get is when the coaches taking Newcastle and Sunderland fans picking up at the same time. Our ethnic community consists of the chinese family who run a take away and they are more civilised and Anglisised than I am.
Last year our High school had the chance of taking 170 of our kids for a weeks exchange with a school in London, Not one of our families would let their kids go to London where at the time kids were getting stabbed to death daily often for the crime of walking past the wrong tower block.
I've said it before Cities are just Necropolis in waiting, they are termite colonies for worker drones, and call it what you like white flight or more aptly middle class flight is a growing trends as the thinkings start to realise the writing is on the wall. BMW and Chelsea or Westminster postcodes are no longer the " must haves" but a rural semi self reliant home and a 4x4 is a much better investment.
London has about 39,000 active police officers IRRC and yet they could not stop 200 kids from totalling Tottenham, so what you reckon the net end result of a big power outage or failure by the govt to pay out the welfare money on time would result in ?
As Mike pointed out ( I think twas Mike) imagine a scenario like Tottenham but affecting many more boroughs at the same time and just one bunch of socialist thugs started lobbing molitovs around ?
