He's a real artist now. I had a fun love/ hate relationship with Hackney the six months or so I was there.

dammit, i guess you'll have to move house then. whitechapel just doesn't flow as good with porky as hackney does.

I used to live round the corner from where he lived before and it was ok but the part i lived in was more shit than his.The only place where i've witnessed one mugging and a kid getting his shit beaten up by two guys until we called the police.

New Cross Gate and south east London is where it's at and Bowels better move there if he wanna make it as an artist because,as the say, the Goldsmiths crowd are doing it for the underground masses(yeah,right).

south london is too far away!
anyway, we can always pretend you're from hackney. i doubt every member of nwa lived in compton for all of their lives. so better just start working on your rap skills... and image.

Incidents like the one your sister is experiencing makes my blood boil. There are many instances where people get threatened and the police do sweet bugger all. Hope it gets sorted out, 'cause it's terrible to live in fear of your family being harmed.

Fear is the important word there. I think many people would agree that fear of thuggery and crime is a worse problem than actual thuggery and crime. I frequently feel threatened if I'm walking down a street and there's a group of ten or so rough-looking kids walking towards me, but the worst that's ever happened to me is that I've had to step into the street because they don't move aside. The media, particularly our good friends the tabloid newspapers, create an atmosphere of fear, giving the impression that you can't leave the house without body armour for fear of being stabbed.

thats true. if i believed everything in the media i would never leave the house again.

i might add that my sister lives 100 metres away from a well known and notorious prison. it seems strange that this kind of thing could happen so close. last night someone threw stones through the windows.

You're right sonicl....
You lot on this forum are all terribly middle class, complaining about thuggery and the goverment not doing anything (which is not true in fairness, come on). I have hardly ever been confronted by these 'thugs', i just can't understand how aside from a few isolated cases in a few very, very bad areas this is even a problem. To call Britain a 'breading ground' for thuggish behaviour is hypobolic to say the least!

The thread title is a question and not a claim.

[Washing Machine]

bread grows out of the ground in britain?

Does it not grow out of the ground where you live?

Looks like it. Is Britain so unimportant, that you spell it without a capital letter?

Its just that we are really humble
