    So maybe it's at least partially the previous generation's fault for failing to instil ethical standards in this generation and allowing the societal problems you note to develop?

    Obviously they congregate in the town centre because that's where the most people are or targets.
    my wife walks into town to work early morning and a couple turn up everyday just in time for the rush hour towards 9 AM to catch people going though the subway to work
    The problem lately last few years which didn't used to happen is them walking up to you and asking for money
    with i am homeless, need bus money, phone money , food
    which is very scary to a lot of people .especially elderly thinking they are going to get attacked if you don't give them anything.
    they hang out besides shops like Greggs takeaways hoping people will buy or give them something.

    the charity's say don't give them money buy them some food or sandwich etc.
    Problem with that is its like feeding the birds in the garden.
    start putting free food every day out 1 or 2 may turn up through the day
    Next thing you know there sat on the wall waiting for you to put the food out and the trees are full and there queuing up waiting to be fed
    they have told there mates ,been followed just makes it worse

    If anyone of you are in town today pop to Pitt Street to watch the feeding frenzy at the drop in centre near old panama joes at 12.30pm. It's like a zoo. Shouting, fighting and chucking rubbish everywhere.

    I think it’s the main reason. People should be held responsible for their behaviour but public resources can’t constantly be taken away, police numbers can’t constantly be reduced, full time jobs can’t constantly be reduced, affordable housing can’t constantly be reduced & there be no upturn in crime & in particular young lads with no purpose in life been involved.

    I think it’s a lot more of a reason than what seems to be the easy way out online which is to blame the Muslim mayor Khan (despite crime been on the rise under Boris beforehand).

    I agree there’s other issues, obviously immigration & people been brought up properly are two of the main ones.

    i saw a TV program saying basically the same thing, kids growing up with there parents not working and on benefits thinking this is normal life for better words,
    And the same thing replays they have kids and grow up the same way.
    There is no hope for some up road from my sister a couple none of them working and having child after child because she wanted a girl.
    6 children
    5 lads and one girl.

    When I start blighting the landscape and not averaging over 70 hours a week at work to bring up my family I may consider it.

    What’s your criteria? Will you be walking around the town centre choosing who to put to death? I look forward to these safer and brighter streets of yours!
    Ps this thread is fcking rancid in light of what happened to the poor guy earlier this year (I expect the murderer that did it felt similarly to yourselves) and I’ve nothing but contempt for c’nts that make comments like this.

    Do you want to highlight which are the lowest depraved areas these people are from??

    You are kidding yourself if you think these people are all from depraved areas, unfortunately drugs affects people of all our class system in the UK

    Having first hand experience of a child who has gone into and, thankfully, come out of the drug scene I totally agree with a previous post that stated these people MUST take accountability and responsibility for their actions and the state needs to assist from a basic provision point of view, rather than providing funds for continued drug use!

    Society on the whole should integrate more integrity, and then we may improve the situation, plus stop too many people thinking that the world owes them a living, of which there are far too many!!
