Thought I may add my 2 cents worth. I think it is being very disingenous to claim that we dont have gansters and turf wars in London. Maybe not big shoot outs but things are definetly getting bad. I thought it was well known that Turkish/Kurdish groups control the heroin trade, Eastern European gangs are heavily involved in the people smuggling/prostitution, Yardies are involved in the cocaine business and each group wants to get involved in another groups activities. I also belive that 25% of London is ethnic minorities. This makes it such a wonderfull city to be in, but of course there are small elements everywhere that give the larger group a bad name. And the Irish were rounded up during Thatchers years in office because of ideas that they were somehow connected to the IRA. And I completely agree with Moscow that arabs are currently being persecuted against. 600 hunded arrested, most let free and a few get done for Visa irregularites. Media stunt. Take care Wandering_U
