Say hello to Barratt Homes' 'Brixton Square' on Coldharbour Lane (old Cooltan site)

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH

Nope, the majority of residential burglaries are carried out by people with criminal records for burglary. How do I know this? 50 years of living in southwest London, and the fact that as a social sciences post-grad with primary interests in criminology and forensic psychology, I keep up with as much of the data as possible, everything from "Social Trends" and Home Office bulletins, to the British Crime Survey, and our police division's annual statistics.

You're the one talking rubbish, old son. That salient facts don't fit in with your prejudices doesn't make those facts "rubbish", but it does show your opinion up as a load of old cack.

People like Mr Bim make me think the Yuppies Out page is fucking Marx.

Don't mind rubbing shoulders with what you call locals, but choose not to rub shoulders with drunks and druggies, if that's pathetic then so be it.

You must find it awfully hard walking around Brixton after 9pm on a weekend given the increased amount of drunk people on the streets.

Hey I can walk past them, just don't want to engage with them

Did you even bother to read the pdf you screenshotted?
It claims (page 7) that "Drug users are estimated to commit between a third and half of all acquisitive crime, which is a substantial proportion of the total number of crimes committed. Some users will have been offenders before becoming problem drug users. But once dependent, funding aserious habit is expensive and can increase offending". (my emphasis)

So, that's an estimate of one third to one half of all offending. In the pie chart on page 7, burglary is shown to be less than a thrid of all acquisitive crime, so lets round everything up to the higher sums, and presume that drug users commit half of all acquisitive crime, and that a full third of those crimes are burglaries - what's a third of one half? In my book it's one sixth.

That's right! By the very pdf you googled up to support your argument, you're hoist by your own petard. Only a maximum of one third of drug users who commit crimes, commit burglaries, as opposed to nearly half of drug users who commit crimes, committing street robberies and shoplifting.

You mug.

Ohhhhh only A THIRD of drug users commit burglaries , oh so sorry I didn't realise it was so few

 

[ViolentPanda]

Yep in life one man sometimes has to make a stand

So you view yourself as some sort of brave hero, making a stand?

Yep, but unfortunately for me, on this forum I'm GENERAL CUSTER

 

[ViolentPanda]

You're the one who claimed "First you don't know what I look like, second drunks and druggies are a security risk, most burgularies are committed by this group" (my emphasis). You've shat on your own shoes. Man up and admit you were talking shit.

Given the levels of intolerance and stereotyping you're throwing around here, it would appear that you may have similar feelings for quite a large chunk of your new neighbourhood, regardless of whether they're drunk or not.

 

[Mr Bim of Bar]

Come on panda, A THIRD is quite a lot, can't we meet somewhere in the middle

Oh another MYSTIC MEG

 

[ViolentPanda]

Why are you surmising who I know and who I don't know, and then you tell me what I won't admit ,then you call be a bigot. You must be MYSTIC MEG

I don't need to be Septic Peg. If one follows your logic about "drunks and druggies", and assume you move in normal social circles, then every 12th person you are acquainted with or are friends with is statistically likely to be either a "drunk" or a "druggie". Therefore, you're happy to rub shoulders with such people, as long as they're your kind of people.

 

[editor]

Not sure what that is supposed to mean, sorry.

A sixth. One third of one half. You're skipping reading properly again. None of this is exactly intellectually-taxing, so I can only assume you're lazy and/or stupid.

Well my friends must be hiding it very well, I can't rubbish your statistics but all I can say is that's not the circle I hang with.

Why would anyone tell you, if they know what a prissy, judgemental wanker you are about "drunk"and "druggies"?

Oh dear here come the insults, didn't take you long.

So am I, with the added bonus of being in enough pain that my doctor prescribes morphine sulphate for it, and yet I didn't have any problem filleting the pdf you linked to, in all of 10 minutes.
So, pisspoor excuse for you to use, really.

Yeah sorry,hope we can still be friends

 

[ViolentPanda]

Oh dear here come the insults, didn't take you long.

So you don't think that your blanket views on such people, as expressed in this thread, reveal you as prissy, judgemental and a wanker?
I'd contend that it's a fair analysis, and not an insult at all.

You really, really can't see the difference between a small, shared garden with a little gate and this?

This looks like an exit gate to a prison.
