So the drugs trade is because rents have gone up?

Not exactly, what i was saying is some people will turn to drug dealing to supplement their income, the same as people selling Avon or the other pyramid schemes going about, so doing cash in hand work, or fast food delivery.

They will the dealers driving around in nice cars, and think i want a bit of that action as it is easy money, forgetting that these type of people will happily shot you for dealing in their patch or even because you owe them some money
 
Average rent in London per week = £700
Cheapest 2bed rent on Rightmove per week= £235
Average UK salary per week = £529.44
Minimum Wage 37.5hour per week = £293.63

Obviously i'm just using averages here but if people cant afford to live, some will turn to gangs/drugs to supplement income, and do you think the people are dealing with care about them, they will happily hurt people for looking at them wrong.

There are only 2 ways to resolve this issue in my eyes, 1 is to make housing more affordable, and the other would be to increase wages so that people can afford to live

Dont agree.
Well I agree property is rediculous but boosting folks wages to compensate isnt an option.
Any capital is going to be very expensive, and drive out low paid workers.
 
I can no longer tell who is being serious and who are peddling cliches for a laugh.
I thought Caer Urfa was serious until the 'It is such a horrible scary place mate. So glad I live in North East England.' Now I'm not sure

Skinny jeans and knackered Vans? You’re about 13 years too late.

What’s your PB running a 10k?
:lol:

You live in South Shields man, you toothless f***ing cyclops.
:lol:

I'm not moved by the guns and all that, but does the area need to be dirty.
Tramps with socks off on Oxford Street, when the sun hits; bin liner of bulging business refuse out on pavement with mice peeking inquisitive heads out the top.

It looked liked Hitchcock's Frenzy.
 
tbf since i moved here ive never had my house or car broken into, never had someone try and mug me or even been punched for mistaken identity. all of those have happened in the NE. London 1 - NE 0
 
Incessant is an interesting adjective when this is thread number 96543 where the Shields massive talk about London as if it's downtown Fallujah and a few little dog whistles start about the ethnic dimension. But then those messages never get through the Angstromatron 5000 web filter

To be fair, I agree, I don't really notice the incessant postings of the Shield's massive,(whoever they are)

This one was interesting as I didn't realise Kingsbury was now a place where gunning down people outside tube stations would happen.

I must have had a false impression of what Kingsbury was like.

More to do with the complete collapse of values in the community. IMHO.

Imported violence from Jamaica in 80s and from shithole African countries latterly.

Lack of male parental figure makes it worse.

Also, never had to decide to leave the pub or give in and fight the massive spanner who appears to be inconsolably angry because he lives in Ferryhill, every f***ing week
