Glasgow
 

Did anyone watch that thing last night about Glasgow's knife culture?!

I was suprised there was a place in Britain like that, nevermind such a well known city! And to think i was going to go there for a weekend to the clubs! Haha, i'd rather go to Butlins!

Was shocking to hear that out of 2000 people that were stopped by police over 200 had knifes, machettes, samuri's etc....

i have been to glasgow a few times and have never had any trouble its a great night out

From what they made out last night, it's like a warzone in some parts.

Gangs are everywhere and the only way they know to defend themselves is by using there knifes. Never knew it was that bad to be honest.... when people describe it, they make it out to be a nice place.

Maybe the program was just highlighting the outer ring of areas in Glasgow and not the main centre.

maybe i was in the main centre and its no diferent from any other city

Hey, I'm from Glasgow! Cmere so I can kick yer head in!

Nah, JK.. I'm not from Glasgow, but, I have been up there a few times. I reckon it's just like anywhere else. It has it's good and it has it's bad. I live in a wee town, so I personally wouldn't like to live up there, but I could say the same about any city.

I missed the programme. What was it called and what channel was it on? It will probably be repeated.

Apparently in Glasgow, they say: "There's only 52 shoplifting days til christmas!".. he he..

It was on channel 5 at like 10pm or something...

Was half asleep....

i love the place and i love the people i have friends there :flower:

Aberdeen's far worse, my older brother got a black eye and a broken tooth at a work night out. Someone took a knife out as well!

its the same all over the place . Just got to be careful

No, but I mean there's teenagers that go to my school that are threatening each other with knives, and teachers too. Scotland's the most violent country in the developed world apparently!

i didnt see it but sounds wierd

London's no better. Fortunately, I live right on the border, so I can escape to Kent where it's not so bad.

Kents awesome!

Yep. I go to school in Kent. Have you heard of Orpington?

You know why? The police don't deal with all the neds who break the law, so they go around thinking that they are above the law, and terrorise neighbourhoods.

It's going to end up being mobrule V vigilantes, and someone will get murdered. I can see it slowly getting worse where I live too.

Yup, a good friend of mine's lost his elder brother in a random attack by a bunch of bams from a really crap part of town.

I'm sorry to hear that.
