Hows the "royals" going with this?
Their flagship city, London, is a total basketcase.
No wonder Megs and Harry are more than willing to travel abroad

Immigration working so very well in the fishing village, England.

Nicolq Roberts, you tube comment to above video

I'm a east London girl. Out part of London was the heart. East London was full of cockneys and warm hearts, street doors left open and a community where everyone looked after each other. Going up to the shops was exciting it was like a mother's meeting. Everyone knew everyone. Clean and a brilliant atomophere. Now..I can't begin to tell you how heart broken I am. There is nothing left of my culture traditions there anymore. It's all completely gone. It looks like a third world country, it's hostile and dark the beautiful light hearted atomespehere has been taken over by dirty halal chicken shops..dirty dodgy technology shops where they sell fake phones and get away with it. You don't see any laughter! I want out so bad. Trying to get out to Essex, most of the East end people left because they couldn't stand what was happening.

This is essentially what Trump is trying to stop, but having trouble stopping.
Soros and his mobsters love this garbage.
Its called "divide and conquer", the oldest war strategy in the book.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stopped this from happening.

For those of you that dont know the reason Church Bells ring?
The Church Bell was created as an "alarm", signalling Muslim invasion.
In Budapest, the Church bells rang for this very reason, and indeed many other parts of Europe.

Ironically, Melbourne now has sirens in the city streets, signalling terror attacks.
They could have just used the Church Bells. They are actually louder anyway.

Yep, people like the Kray twins and "The Mad Axeman" Frank Mitchell would be spinning in their graves about all the gang violence in the East End these days. Not to mention the viscious football hooligans of the West Ham and Millwall bovver boys. Ah, the good old days- it don't 'arf bring a tear to me eye.

LOL. Typical Aussie reply.
Dont worry Whale, Australia is heading down the same path, because the corrupt Australian Government made an oil deal with Sudan, so we can take their oil, if we take their thugs.
So here we are, with a bunch of thugs running rampant in the cities, in particular Melbourne.

Problem with people like you Whale, is you dont take criticism. Thats the very reason Australia is going down the plughole. You and other just layback and take all the crap, the corruption, and accept it.
Why the hell are you defending filth fishing village England anyway.

London is the least "English" zone in England, and has been for a while now. It's just a big bubble of people making money, from all over the world. Not sure what your point is, Redemption. If you want to denigrate England, you don't start with London. Hell, most Londoners didn't even support Brexit!

Correct Tlaz. I have always found "glassings" a particularly nasty & violent crime. How someone can break a glass & push it into someone's face with all those jagged edges is beyond me. Very common though - & a lot of serious injuries - particularly eye. A lot of pubs these days have had to resort to the use of plastic cups to try to stop it.

Middle eastern gangs started the knife craze - & Chinese triads went a step further with machetes. Soon caught on. Poor old David Carty (copper) had his ears & nose sliced off with a machete in Fairfield many years ago

I agree with that.
Society woke up.
The churches committed too many crimes.
All forms of extremism are bad.
The first thing religions do, is tell you that you are a sinner, and the only way to be better, is through fear, and through their religion.
People woke up to the con.
Religions hijack the idea of "God", and turn it into a "brand".

I always say, church is a lovely place to sit in solace to think and pray, until the priest starts talking and ruins it all.
These days I go to parks, mountains, rivers.

Buddhism is just as F#cked, dont worry about that. They are all questionable.

I lived in London 1979 to 1984.  It was the most amazing place.  I just loved it.   Get out and about was so easy .   So many places to go, and see, and explore,   And do.  A seething mass of humanity and everyone happy and cohesive. 
Went back in 2011 and 2012.    OMG.   What a gelati hole of a place it was.
Spot the Anglo.    If you could find one you were a champion.   And down in the counties the lovely old English pubs were being taken over by the Polish, and most of them could neither speak or understand the english language,,,,which made for a few dramas. 
Village stores were all being run by Pakis,,,,
Oh well,,,carry on,,,call me racist.
But the great old englsih traditions were lost /taken over , and the traditions of the villages were being lost.

Razors as preferred criminal weapon: 1927–1930[ https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Razor_gang&action=edit&section=3" rel="nofollow - edit ]

After handguns were criminalised in New South Wales, razors became the weapon of choice amongst Sydney gangsters. Shortly after the Pistol Licensing Act 1927 was passed, a visiting sailor used a cutthroat razor to defend himself from attackers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-auto-6" rel="nofollow - [6]  As a result, razors became a default weapon due to its ease of purchase from barbers shops for a few pence, its ease of concealment (hidden inside a piece of  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_%28material%29" rel="nofollow - cork ), and its use as an instrument of intimidation and threatened or actual mutilation, physical impairment or murder against one's adversaries, prey or hostile spouses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-auto-6" rel="nofollow - [6]  It has been estimated that there were over five hundred slashings within Sydney during the heyday of intensive razor gang criminal activity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-7" rel="nofollow - [7]   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macquarie_Street,_Sydney" rel="nofollow - Macquarie Street 's  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Hospital" rel="nofollow - Sydney Hospital  and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Vincents_Hospital,_Sydney" rel="nofollow - St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney  in  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlinghurst" rel="nofollow - Darlinghurst  treated many of these casualties of gangland hostilities.

Members of the New South Wales Police and several New South Wales politicians also had connections to the gangs. The two major razor gangs were associated with prominent  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pimp" rel="nofollow - madams ,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Leigh" rel="nofollow - Kate Leigh  (Queen of  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surry_Hills" rel="nofollow - Surry Hills ) and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_Devine" rel="nofollow - Tilly Devine ; (Queen of  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlinghurst" rel="nofollow - Darlinghurst  and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woolloomooloo" rel="nofollow - Woolloomooloo ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-8" rel="nofollow - [8]  These two gangs began open warfare in 1929, culminating in two riots. One was known as the "Battle of Blood Alley" and was waged in Eaton Avenue,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Cross,_New_South_Wales" rel="nofollow - King's Cross . It occurred because drug distributors discovered that Phil Jeffs (1896–1945), another ganglord, was adulterating his cocaine supply with  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boracic_acid" rel="nofollow - boracic acid . It occurred on May 7, 1929. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-9" rel="nofollow - [9]  Later that year, on August 8, 1929, the "Battle of Kellett Street" was waged between rival gangs affiliated with  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Leigh" rel="nofollow - Kate Leigh  and  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilly_Devine" rel="nofollow - Tilly Devine  and occurred in Kellett Street, near  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Cross,_New_South_Wales" rel="nofollow - King's Cross . Considerable amounts of bootleg alcohol and cocaine were consumed beforehand, leading to thrown bottles, physical assaults, firearm exchanges and razor attacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-10" rel="nofollow - [10]

The gang violence was curtailed in the 1930s by the Vagrancy Amendment Act NSW 1929. It contained "criminal consorting" clauses which prevented known criminals from associating with one other and led to diminished gang violence. At the same time, the Crimes Amendment Act 1930 was also passed, leading to six-month imprisonment terms for anyone found possessing cutthroat razors without good reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-11" rel="nofollow - [11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-12" rel="nofollow - [12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-13" rel="nofollow - [13]

In 1935, newly appointed Sydney Police Commissioner MacKay summoned the feuding Devine and Leigh to his office. While he would not vigorously enforce anti-bootleg and anti-prostitution laws, he announced that the new police powers granted to his constabulary would be used against both women and their criminal enterprises unless there was immediate mitigation of gang violence and cocaine distribution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-14" rel="nofollow - [14]  They did so, which left the New South Wales State Police able to concentrate their attention on the illicit cocaine trade in 1938/39. Following intensive policing of overseas supply routes, the cocaine trade finally began to ebb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-auto1-15" rel="nofollow - [15]

With the onset of the  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_World_War" rel="nofollow - Second World War , gang figures enlisted and went to fight in the European and Pacific theatres of that conflict. Even the arrival of US service personnel did not reinvigorate the Leigh and Devine criminal empires, which now faced competition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_gang#cite_note-auto1-15" rel="nofollow - [15]  With these events, the "razor gang" era drew to a close.
