Now that the Falmer result is in and everyone has had their say lets get back to tackling the real issues.

Where would you rather live ? In a multi cultural ethnic city with a high crime rate or down here on the sedate south coast with a much lower crime rate but the big disadvantage of not having that great culturally diverse community that places like Southall, Bermondsey, Moss side and Toxteth have.

My mum's family lived in Bermondsey. It's a great place to live. It's gone downhill, though, since the yuppies moved in.


Hard working folk who want to get on ? ruining a area because someone had the audacity to convert some dilapidated housing and open a wine bar.

Good old yuppies I say you communist.

Bermondsey has changed a lot and Millwall selling the old Den is quite a large factor in that. Because of it's proximity to the City is has gone 'Up Market'. Surprisingly Hackney (which I don't care what anybody says) was a dump but that too is going upwards but it does have a very diverse community, more so than most I would say.

Still there's hope for Croydon yet !

Down here , a relatively small proportion of ethnics and less crime as a result

Steady ! That'll cause a stir :ohmy:. Actually Brighton is reputed to have a serious drug problem so that would negate your comments as drug use does up the crime rate.

I lived in Worthing until last year and I would say that it got progressively more chavlike. Can't say I noticed that many coloured people either but I can say I was more than happy to leave there.

What colour are they? As long as they're blue and white, who cares.

I tell you, you can't even put on a pointy hood, burn a cross, or call for an aryan master race nowadays without being called politically incorrect.

Fact.
Violent crime countrywide went down 2%. Violent crime in Sussex went up 2% in the last twelve months but you are least likely to be burgled in Sussex.

I don't think I could survive without Poles working in every shop/cafe around here, Irish people can't make a breakfast roll to save their lives...
