If you are a police officer then no, I don't find your comments funny at all. As I said, the police generally prefer to take the stance of reassuring the public that crime is under control not least because it makes them look like they are doing their job. You're doing the opposite. You're painting a doom and gloom picture suggesting the UK is sinking in crime laden communities which are out of control. Great for any elderly people living alone reading this thread.

Wasn't very crowded where I lived in the Peak district either.....and I did not see any crime all the years I lived there.

You obviously wear different spectacles to me

Diggler

Tough,

Thats how it is im afraid.

You carry on living in your diamond walled mansion, stick you head in a bucket and pretend its not happening if you want.

But whatever, stop making bone comments and trying to rub people up the wrong way.

Diggler

The Peak District ?

10 minute drive fom Manchester in the middle of the night in your solen car at 90mph. (no motorway).

Its ok i suppose if you can afford to live there.

It seems many peolple dont like my OPINION of England !

Grayling

I commuted to Oxford road for years mostly travelling back at night.....never any bother.

.....and I could afford it on a salary similar to a police officer.

Is that your real motivation? Do you think you will be financially better off?

If so why not say it instead of this nonsense about crime.

Its very heartening to know that you recognise your stance is an opinion and not a fact.

I have lived in the UK, Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Sydney and Melbourne and touch wood have not experienced any crime anywhere. I read about it of course and it does happen but how many stories do you read, one per day for three million people. Look at the statistics, yes there is crime but I think given the amount of people in UK Aus or anywhere else its not that bad.

Hmmm, pressed the wrong button hey Diggler? I didn't buy into your expert theories so you have to resort to insults. That shows you've lost the argument.

Diggler

Probably not be that different if our research and chats with friends are correct. But hopefully, my daughter will grow up in a more pleasent environment. If thats not the case, then all our research and chats will have been wrong, and we will return. It wont be the end of the world.

I know, its laughable really.

As often said on these forums, those most likely to succeed when decididing to emigrate do so because of the pull of another country, not the push of the one they re already in. The notion that running away from a place to find a better life is flawed.

I couldn`t find the reference but I am sure you are correct,

Diggler

Wrong actually,

Made no reference to illegal immigrants.

Grayling

So what is this a reference to

Diggler

Ill have that.

My point was the government openly doesnt know how many people live in the UK. I couldn't remember making reference to "illegal immigrants", but i accept your point.

My apologies.
