Well, actually, don't bother, I am just saying that I am.
When did this become the "Newham" forum.
It must have 100x threads devoted to it than any other place in the UK.
Isn't there a 'Friends of Newham' forum that people could drone on about it on?

it is a microcosm of something or other LF Just think it is ridiculous how this forum is used as a 'Friends of Newham' forum with loads of threads always banging on about it when 99.99% of forumites couldn't give a feck about the place. |

Best read this quick before Canaryboy, or another of his ilk, gets it pulled.
The moderators rules denote they are under NO OBLIGATION TO CHECK IF AS STATEMENT IS TRUE, a complaint from a customer will get it pulled, EVEN WHEN IT'S UNDOUBTEDLY TRUE. SO19 crime figures don't tell lies, neither do I, and neither does the Newham Recorder, or for that matter, any other local rag in London. ======================================= I like to post about Newham. :) And others either read it or ignore it. Personally, I don't give a monkeys who reads it or not. On the other hand, I've NEVER posted about s(umbags, black, white or any other colour, in Bristol, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow or anywhere else where blacks or asians (mustn't call them immigrants as some of them were born here) allegedly commit more serious crimes per % of the population than the indigenous whites. And why haven't I posted about the other places ? Because I never lived in any of those places. I wouldn't know if I was posting the truth. But on the subject of Newham, I know I'm posting the truth, and have backed it all up with links to the local newspaper time and time again. Crime figures are down in London this year, by that, I mean ALL of London, not just Newham. Bit of a shame that KNIFE crime is up 48%, by that I mean ALL of London, not just Newham. And so sad when SO19, the armed response unit, reported on the BBC, that 75% of gun crime in London (ALL of London, not just Newham) is committed by blacks, and 50% of the victims are black, which keeps Operation Trident pretty busy. Please note that the man from S019, not me, said blacks. He could have said asians, but he didnt, he could have said it was a mix of blacks and asians, but he didn't, he could have said whites, but he didn't. He was ONLY speaking for 75% of the gun crime. As you can see, 25% of gun crimes are not committed by blacks, so the asians and whites have their gun crime as well. I can't help it if you don't like the truth, it's not my problem. |

I rather like them, to be honest. I mean obviously they're a bit tragic, but at least in a funny way.

BC's dystopian threads, wrapped in this dysfunctional forum, and catering for the deathless, prejudiced, disillusioned deadbeat gambler, railing against life's persistent, perceived slights while dripping with righteous outrage and faux heroism, define Betfair Chit Chat.
Long may he loathe. Thus, ennui. |

Be warned, I WILL look up what dystopian means, and it had better be good for me.

Are you saying you've been to the hellhole that is Newham and lived to tell the tale? Chaz will be impressed. |
|
By:
I was referring to the point that you didn't know that Stratford was part of Newham, which leads me to believe you know nothing of Newham, but are content, along with other dipsticks, to argue what itl's like there, along with the one poor sap who tried to compare it to Norwich, a place I feel you know well.

Fear not, Charlie. My support for your right to post is unswerving and my bewildering contribution was supposed to be an expression of that support .... I mean, who could I report every day if you suddenly became all cuddly and multicultural? ;)

Sign in if you are sick of hearing from naive kiddywinkies, who were not even born at the time, that Newham and many ther parts of London ( about 100 actually) have changed from areas where there was crime in the 1950's/1960's/1970's, which, rarely, involved Joe Bloggs to areas where street crime is prolific and no-go areas abound ( if you're streetwise and have common sense).
Sign in if you are sick of guys NOT realising that 85% of this street crime involves the same Community which has forced countless decent families of ALL races to move as far away from them ( when there are in significant numbers) as possible. Sign in if you are sick of some Guys NOT realising that this Community are still a, relatively, low proportion of Londoners and yet commit street crime out of all proportion to their numbers. |
