Re: Jackson Jive
Way back when I was at school, a TV channel approached some female students about making a documentary about inner city girl gangs. These girls took part even though they werent part of a gang, simply a bunch of girls that lived in the same neighbourhood. Even the best produced docos are biased and should never be relied upon to be accurate measure of the world we live in. Peoples own eyes and ears should guide them even though many dismiss these accounts.

A Fijian Indian I work with lives right in one of the worst parts of Melbourne for violence.. Dallas... The fact that he was brought up in Fiji gives him a stance that means, no one that has the mentality that Indians should be attacked, will have a go at him. It's the way he stands and looks that is his own protection. He sure has the Local Lebanese bluffed !

Re: Jackson Jive
Aye I understand that one. Lived in South London for most of my time in the UK, and one thing you do get used to is how one looks and acts. My last couple of years were right in central Peckham, I never had a problem, although it did get quite hairy at times. The thing is act like a victim and you will get treated like one.

Re: Jackson Jive
Ahh so thats understandable then ?
Not a lot has changed in these places since the 2nd world war... I wonder why.
What would the percentage of people that live in places like this be I wonder, on a pro rata basis compared to other places in Europe.... America and Australia. My hunch is its a hell of a lot more than most other countries.
WHY ?
My own theory is it's the Class system in action. People wanting to be proud to be so called working class with all the ignorance that brings, plus the whole UK Class system backing that mindset up.
'It's ok or understandable, or what do you expect... they are council house scum' seems to be the general reaction.

That's now what I said. I was referring to my experience of living in Bristol!
