Britain's toughest city/town

[C@V]

I think London! Rich gangsters have more powerful guns!

Glasgow is full of nutjobs, and they don't need guns!

They can deal with flesh wounds.

Belfast ...the police have armoured landrovers, which says it all!

Glasgow would be next. London isn't tough it's just shit! ;D

You *could* have abstained, rather than inflating the boy's already sizeable ego! ;D

If you say so Steve.

There are bits of it neither of us would like to be in, in the middle of the night!

I agree with the Glasgow/Belfast answer though.

London's not as bad as the media would have you believe. Far from being a beautiful safe haven, but per capita there's more dangerous places.

You haven't seen the half of it.

So many horrifically crap and hopeless places I wander round on site visits, just makes me despair, how would I feel if I had to live there? What would I do? What wouldn't I do!

I only added that for a reaction Jules

...I'm probably more open-minded than you think- I can and do see that there;s two sides to every debate. My honest opinion on London is that it's actually okay. What annoys me about it is how people (Londoners) rave about it and the immense media bias towards it. At times I wonder if people within some of the media establishments are actually aware of the existence of the rest of the UK. I also don't think it has the most welcoming population. I do however appreciate it's shopping, restaurants, the architecture/buildings and the history.

Yes, but there's also many fantastic areas too - if we're talking London as a whole, as the question is, then no, it's not the toughest place. Individual areas, yes, but not the whole city.

Granted, that's the tale of pretty much any big city in Britain, but I'd say London's prosperous areas are far better off than, say, the prosperous areas in Manchester or Liverpool.

...Are London's lesser areas comparable to the likes of Moss Side et al though really?

There are no prosperous areas in Manchester or Liverpool- that's why all the footballers live in posh houses in Cheshire!

I don't know, thankfully I've never been to Moss Side or Toxteth or wherever!

[PureOldGold]

Birmingham all the way, whats this thread about again ;D

[CHOPPER READ]

Belfast for me. Horrid place. In London it is the foreign drug barons and gangs on a turf war. Belfast in is neighbours and families killing their own. Nut cases.

[---------a]

Most of them are rough, Glasgow and Belfast are just insane though.
