Crime in London, United Kingdom

I lived in London for many years. It was once a great place to live and work but it has sadly gone downhill in recent years and I'm very happy to say I left, never to return. It is now a city with no clear identifiable culture, just a hodgepodge of various communities living in an artificial construct with a strong sense of tension and hostility between them. The gulf between rich and poor is immense and the crime rate is out of hand. People are routinely beaten and murdered for their phones and you can be stabbed to death just for looking at someone in one of the various third world neighbourhoods. The attitudes towards women in some of these new communities are medieval. Just an awful, dirty violent place to live unless you are a member of the wealthy elite. Like something out of a dystopian nightmare.

I used to be a very proud Londoner but I have to be frank, I have lived in London all my life and it has never been a more divided, dangerous and dirty city than today. Acid attacks, stabbings, moped gangs, shootings, random terror attacks are "part and parcel of living in a big city" (London mayor); certain areas are entirely populated by people with third-world mentalities about women, modern society etc. - see Whitechapel, Newham, Ilford et al.

Guys i’ve Been to London it’s not that bad.It’s a completely safe place compared to my country.All these Brits are complaining about crime problems,etc.It’s all bullshit.London’s a very safe city

Could not believe the amount of middle eastern Muslim’s thugs obviously unwilling to assimilate .
The were pockets of Sydney were I thought I was in Lebanon, then China .
Their Goverment has sold out the sovereignty with the rest of the NWO countries ,
Brisbane much more Australian and relaxed

Frank Brazil have 61619 people murdered for guns in one year. Dates of 2016
How compare this with others countries?

It's almost touching to see the patriotism of Londoners defending their city against its increasingly violent reputation with the Police so helpless when it comes to violent gangs.
Are you joking, #Ian, or do you seriously think that your personal experience of living in an area such as Primrose Hill is somehow representative of London?

I live in north london and it is very dangerous to be out past dark as there are many gangs and armed thieves with knives as well as people that like to start trouble.. furthermore there are many burglars in the area as i have caught them trying to steal from my property. I am a muslim but i do not experience any hate crime, nevertheless public opinion sometimes strays to oppose me, however i know i am an honest person and i jus tolerate intolerance in order to lead a successful lifestyle.

My biggest regret in life is living in England. What a fucking horrible place, I wish somebody would be truthful for once and just tell the world. Fucking horrible place, I hope they all fucking die.

Hey Frank, stay a few weeks in Brazil and you'll see what is a REALLY dangerous. People stealing anything you have, kill people at daylight, burning people alive, beheading people, killing man, woman, child and pregnant.. Brazil is dangerous.. London definitely no.

England is a fantastic country really good if you want to be a football player my favorite team is Chelsea and they don't have guns there unless your talking about police lol

I've been living in London for more than 8 years now and I also travelled a lot all over Europe. Honestly London is SAFE! It is a civilised city comparing to others I saw including Paris. No one has to be afraid in London as guns, knifes and any kind of weapons are prohibited. Of course there are robberies and pickpockets but just a bit of attention will solve the problems. Even if the tube is overcrowded no one tried to rob from my pockets or bags even if is very common in London for the ladies to walk with their bags open.
