What you are saying is music to my socialist ears, but sadly the fact is policing is not done by the local council and bodies responsible for policing along with Hampshire Constabulary are the Home office and Hampshire Police Authority. I am sure you are more aware than ordinary lay person like myself that former dope smoking Home Secretary belongs to New Labour and the Chair of Hampshire Police Authority is also New Labour Councillor from Southampton.

Yes the cut crazy policies of the local council do not exactly help the situation, but their impact (likely to be a big bang) will be felt after a while, but for the time being Southampton is paying the price for social engineering of years ago and lunacies of Blair and Brown.

Dear Fellow Immigrant, You may be new to this site. Regular visitors are used to Denzil's attitude. I am sure you will find that most British people are open minded and will give the credit where it is due. They know it that there are good and bad in all groups.

Maybe it's extremely common in the company you keep, which I dread to even comprehend you vile cretin. Your attitude includes, judging by other posts, that you endorse peadophilia, children who die in road accidents deserve it, parents messed up by loss of kids deserve to die etc etc. How on earth can you believe most people share your views? Are you blind, look at the response your posts get. I pity you, you hateful little ****. crawl back under your rock slime ball.

All of your post is utter rubbish but well done anyay. The people of this country are fed up with immigrants coming over and taking liberties. If you think any different then you are sadly mistaken.

Hmm, wind your neck in? By the sounds of it you sound like one of the BAD people of Merry Oak. It has its' fair shair of domestics, drug takers and drug pushers. It's social housing that has created the problem which is why I've targeted these areas. Although I'm stereotyping here you only have to study the type of people living in these communities and how they treat their homes and people around them to see why Southampton is considered violent. Mattresses in front gardens, Ford Escorts on bricks, you name it. Social housing was created for a different generation. Following WW2 people were grateful for council estate homes and treated them with respect. Nowadays it's a certainty that the best way to get your own cheap house is to get up the duff at 14 and start collecting kids and the associate benefits. These people that inhabit these houses do not show respect for their surroundings and that is passed on through the generations. Life is too easy with benefits and housing being handed out so easily. As for immigrants, well at least they have enough get up and go to improve their lives by moving to another country.

My son got attacked, few years back, completely out of the blue, by someone he had never seen before, never even spoken to (not even then - he just got smacked in the face). The police were very good, and it went to court; turned out the lad already had an ASBO for this kind of thing. And what did he get this time? Another ASBO!

However, son's friend T got roughed up last year, in the middle of town, by a bunch of people he had annoyed (he'd been a bit rude about someone's ability to drive). Police just stood by and watched! T asked why they weren't doing anything, and they said there were "too many of them"! When T persisted, they threatened to arrest him instead. Local bouncer, who had watched the whole thing, said this wasn't at all unusual. Not sure what I think of the police, overall.

I suspect you are an internet troll, if not then you're living up to the stereotype of a person living in social housing.

It's the 3rd or 4th generations of the original occupants of places like Merry OakMillbrook etc that have no respect for their locations or people around them. I'm sure that when these places were built they didn't expect them to be inhabited by the lowlife that occupies them now.

And yes I am stereotyping as I'm sure that for every lowlife there is a law abiding citizen with a job however it's because of these namby pamby do-gooders that insist that certain sections of our society should look after such lowlife that we now have these council ghettos.

It's social housing that has created the problem which is why I've targeted these areas. Although I'm stereotyping here you only have to study the type of people living in these communities and how they treat their homes and people around them to see why Southampton is considered violent. Mattresses in front gardens, Ford Escorts on bricks, you name it. Social housing was created for a different generation. Following WW2 people were grateful for council estate homes and treated them with respect. Nowadays it's a certainty that the best way to get your own cheap house is to get up the duff at 14 and start collecting kids and the associate benefits. These people that inhabit these houses do not show respect for their surroundings and that is passed on through the generations. Life is too easy with benefits and housing being handed out so easily. As for immigrants, well at least they have enough get up and go to improve their lives by moving to another country.

Why does 'wind your neck in' make me (who you don't know at all!) a bad person? I happen also to live on benefits because of health reasons and my council home is in a moderate state of repair, the garden is tidy the inside is decorated to my and my wifes likes and I don't have a Ford Escort on bricks in the front. The problem stems from namsy pamsy do gooders who won't slap wrists when it is needed. So yes, wind your neck in as well Leo. You don't know what your talking about and I notice you haven't stated where YOU live. Some kind of CHAV estate maybe? We can't all live in Chillworth, not that I would want to anyway, have you seen it lately? Only last week I saw an Aston Martin on bricks in the heated double garage, scandalous!

I suspect you are an internet troll, if not then you're living up to the stereotype of a person living in social housing. It's the 3rd or 4th generations of the original occupants of places like Merry OakMillbrook etc that have no respect for their locations or people around them. I'm sure that when these places were built they didn't expect them to be inhabited by the lowlife that occupies them now. And yes I am stereotyping as I'm sure that for every lowlife there is a law abiding citizen with a job however it's because of these namby pamby do-gooders that insist that certain sections of our society should look after such lowlife that we now have these council ghettos.

Quote:And yes I am stereotyping as I'm sure that for every lowlife there is a law abiding citizen .. Un quote. I'm law abiding, what does that make you then if you assume it's 50/50? Think before you jump in feet first!

You're a bit sensitive aren't you Musher? I'm sure that there are law abiding citizens around your nice piece of social housing. Also, i know a lot of people who are disabled and can still work and don't claim benefits. This country is full of work shy people!

OI! your the skate, us immigrants work hard to improve our lives and better our cumminities - sure we get a small % who are rejects. but most of us are very hard working , not like some of you lot.

Well go home then if you don't like it. And don't ever, ever call me a skate again.

Excuse me sir, not meaning to be rude, but my home is here :)

Dear Fellow Immigrant, You may be new to this site. Regular visitors are used to Denzil's attitude. I am sure you will find that most British people are open minded and will give the credit where it is due. They know it that there are good and bad in all groups. So please do not let a tiny minority put you off. Kind regards

That's the thing though, I'm not in the tiny minority and you know it. I think you will find my attitude is extremely common, and rightly so.

i am not prejudice, but southampton has become foreigner central! since we britons (aka government) let them in, we loose our jobs and our cities to these people! we should become more like new zealand - you dont get in unless you have a profession that will help the community - thats why they have a very low crime rate! its becoming more dangerous as these foreigners make groups and clans and cause havoc in the city, so yes, southampton has become more violent because we believe we are getting workers for a lower wage and will work stupid hours, yet guaranteed these people are the cause to our problems. we follow our rules and laws, yet they get off scot free and do what they want - if we lived in their countries, we would have to follow their rules or we would be banged up for it within seconds! england has become a much lesser place to live - and im sure life would be better with out these people helping themselves to our life as we used to see it.

What you are saying is music to my socialist ears, but sadly the fact is policing is not done by the local council and bodies responsible for policing along with Hampshire Constabulary are the Home office and Hampshire Police Authority. I am sure you are more aware than ordinary lay person like myself that former dope smoking Home Secretary belongs to New Labour and the Chair of Hampshire Police Authority is also New Labour Councillor from Southampton. Yes the cut crazy policies of the local council do not exactly help the situation, but their impact (likely to be a big bang) will be felt after a while, but for the time being Southampton is paying the price for social engineering of years ago and lunacies of Blair and Brown.

Once again this eejit uses a story as an excuse to get on his soapbox and preach to us mere mortals who have never held office. Get a grip, you has-been, stick to the subject-at-hand

Tell me you are joking - he can't possibly have held office, surely? He is incapable of stringing any sort of coherent statement together, and cannot comment on any subject without bringing "new labour" into the discussion.

Sadly, I'm not joking

Returned to the city I love and found a place full of dodgy fellas, hard drinking out of order chavs/chavesses and a student population out of all control ruining places like Bedford Place. Everybody under 35yrs seems to have lost respect for themselves and their fellow city dwellers. The police on the street,when you see them appear to be streetwise-less and fear the ruffians they have to deal with. Most appear too young and devoid of the life experience to deal with such a job in our city. Thank God I leave for Kuwait at the end of the year. No wonder Muslims despise us and our decadent ways. We dont care for ourselves, let alone for each other.
