I live in the area and frequent a pub in Whitechapel, so I am entirely confident this claim is horseshit.
Just tried to film in Whitechapel for over an hour and everyone we asked to interview said that they couldn’t speak English. How can you have a unified nation we can’t even speak the same language? This is the future of Britain.
Whenever I’ve had a tough week I always look back at this and suddenly everything makes sense again 😂. Credit:@twisteddoodles
In July 1984 the Royal Navy, RFA and RAF Nimrods conducted a TOP SECRET UK/US intelligence gathering mission in the Barents Sea. Its goal - to acquire intelligence on Soviet Navy operations, and obtain military hardware where possible. /1 (Blog at tinyurl.com/ycyp4na)
@pinstripedline Nobody ever believed me ! I was on the Olmeda, every time we tried to land a Seaking a Russian helicopter would block our flight deck and we were constantly doing emergency breakaways whilst trying to RAS the Battleaxe as Russian spy trawlers sailed down towards / between us.
Community, n. ‘A place you can drive through’ 🤔
If you think that public highways should be public highways, open to everyone - and not access points to gated communities, don't vote for this bunch of privilege seekers.
@JanParker10 @Fraser_Knight @metpoliceuk @NickFerrariLBC @LBC They only go where they’re needed. To the unruly and violent protests. Not needed at peaceful march where the protesters are civilised. I hope this helps.
@TPointUK This flag was assessed by officers at the time. It is not a proscribed flag and is not unlawful.
I see some talk about domestic violence risk assessment in the news. Just so you know, there is a big difference between empirically valid risk assessment in dv and using a checklist of "risk factors" or worse yet unstructured judgement.
@LessCrime @acatfromgreece Very impressive piece of work!
@rwortley1 hahahahahah ... I don't even own one anymore.
@APHClarkson @annettedittert I must say, of all the feedback I get, “this 700 word article isn’t an exhaustive assessment of every possible factor in every possible country” is probably the most irritating. My notes for a piece like this run to 4,000 words. Vast majority ends up on cutting room floor.
@OkkiPepernoot this might be of interest /something you'll have a view on policinginsight.com/feature/former…
@Beeestonia @LessCrime @sirstan74 @guardian Time to rename Notts Forest thusly, and the Magpies to Nottm City FC 😎, fix the Broxtowe anomaly, and the East Midlands CCA misnaming!
@LessCrime @kevjs1982 @sirstan74 @guardian Similar to the confusion when I used to write about 'Broxtowe': a constituency that isn't the same as the local auth; neither contain the Broxtowe Estate. What to expect from a place where the County football team play at the city ground and the city team are called County
This is a good point and will further confuse the identity of our area- which already suffers from an identity crisis. Perhaps the new mayor could be the 'A52 Tsar', the 'Brian Clough Boss' or the 'Trent and Derwent Dominator'
@Beeestonia @sirstan74 @guardian The naming round here is about to get even odder too, "East Midlands Combined County Authority" 🤢 - already getting the shorthand of East Midlands Mayor. East Midlands Airport won't even be in the East Midlands CCA.
Great thread on the relative level of crime in London compared to other major cities around the world — you might be surprised (particularly if you’ve been looking at some of the mayoral election manifestos!)
Is London a dangerous city? One way to answer that is to compare London to other major global cities. TL;DR: crime in London isn’t particularly high compared to other global cities in Europe and North America, but is higher than in Asia. A thread 🧵 …
@LessCrime And, lastly, I don’t think anywhere in the UK came close to Lambeth and Southwark’s robbery rate 20 years ago. Relatively sky high. Although no doubt affected by population swell from daily visitors.
