That there London

Levels of shitholeness are weird. The Abbey Farm estate in Thetford is notorious around here for being a dump, in the top 10 most deprived places in England, yet street view it and it looks fine. I lived in the midlands for several years through uni and drove through plenty of far more threatening looking places. Most seaside towns have worse streets, seen places full of rubbish, dumped cars, boarded up houses etc.

I don’t really like London or see the attraction of visiting tbh.

My mrs went to new York a couple of weeks ago and said it had changed and made her appreciate how good we have it in the uk.

I live next to Govanhill which if you listen to some is one of those “no go areas” for white people and it’s fine.

It is deprived and I think that, the high immigrant population and the fact that it was Sturgeon’s constituency made it a target for idiots and racists to make shit up about.

This - there's so much hysteria about this type of thing - you can't focus on one particular area as a representative sample of the city as a whole. Put it this way - Los Angeles Skid Row is 0.4 square miles but the city as a while is over 500 square miles.
