It's safer here, you remain more in control of the conversation, and it's much easier to leave it than if someone is next to you on a bus that might get off and follow you.
No, I generally don't have a need to communicate with strangers when I'm out, unless I need to ask them for something, or they ask me something.
I'm not in the habit of just striking up a conversation with random individuals.
Probably just as well. Spouting some of the views you hold in Brixton pubs might not be too healthy!
I meant 'slumming it' in terms of the type of job you may have to do....I mean not getting your ideal job straight away.I'm working on moving up there. It's just hard when most jobs seem to be upper level management needing 20 years experience (which I don't have) or vegetable processing (which I physically couldn't do).
Living with her isn't a problem so 'slumming it' isn't necessary, but she's disabled and neither of us have sufficient cash reserves to ride the storm for a few months, especially as she'd lose a lot by no longer living alone.
You suffer from 'stranger danger'. Some of us see 'strangers' as potential acquaintances/friends. Even more so if you join a club, do something with people who share common interests/ go places of interests that may have socialising possibilities.No, I generally don't have a need to communicate with strangers when I'm out, unless I need to ask them for something, or they ask me something.

You are paranoid. Any idea how uncommon that is?It's safer here, you remain more in control of the conversation, and it's much easier to leave it than if someone is next to you on a bus that might get off and follow you.
I do have enough common sense to know that ... the last time I went out, apart from ordering a drink, the only thing someone said to me all night was 'wheres the bogs mate', which I pointed to and he shuffled off in the general direction thereof.
So no BME go to the same pubs as White People?
No BME are middle class?
All BME are in gangs that go around stabbing and shooting eachother?
BME and non-BME don't listen to the same music? Are you quite sure?
Yes, correct and most BME don't want to be in gangs, don't want to stab and shoot eachother, so guess what? They don't!!!!
Funnily enough, guess who you sound like?
Which ones?and i know second hand that certain pubs ( and can be certain more do) deliberately put off black people from coming
A massive generalisation as the vast majority of BME and W/C in that area do not do this at all.these 'church street' people are wankers .. they have their 'village' lifestyle living on inflated incomes from parasitical and useless jobs living in almost parallel universe to the surrounding population who are overwhelmingly poor angry and frustrated and reguarly stabbing and shooting each other ..

more tea vicar?'village' lifestyle. What an utter tool you really are.
1)Which ones?

Making statements like that makes you part of the problem...
they call it that .. they think that .. so why am i a tool?'village' lifestyle. What an utter tool you really are.
so paulie .. do you like church street?more tea vicar?
1) not going to name but they involve lots of sofas and expensive drinks and djs .. i am not lying
2) yes i get really wound up by all this .. and so i have again made a wrong statement .. the maj of people ARE frustrated .. many many are angry and that means that SOME end up stabbing and shooting
it does not change the real deal that we have two worlds here and it is bullshit that the church street tossers live their merry lives in a area of so much surrounding poverty .. they like to think they are nothing to do with this .. of course they bloody are .. these things are all connected
they call it that .. they think that .. so why am i a tool?
once more your racism is showing you realise there are realtively few 'white' shops in church street the majority being turkish indian bengali and other resturants right...
but then if you're not a local without local knowledge your own overt racism will of course prevade every asepct of your own viewpoint...
once again duritti playing the race card to score polical points with no basis in reality or giving on fig for the actual area....
systemically racist street...
you should cease flapping your gums uslessly like a goldfish fallen out of it's bowl...
you swearing again? my you have so little self control .. yes of course they .. the middle class tossers who infest church street think of it as a village .. are you one of them?who'se they?
fucking dick...
again you fictious peoples you claim you are representing...
not trying to make captial out of things which you have no involvement in again are shitforbrains....
LOL LOL LOL .. you are one of them aren't you!church street is a street full of resurants bars and estate agents and little else. there's a few bouttequee type shops on it which open and close with the wind and little else.
this assumption that the place is in someway economically or socially different is utter bullshit. it might be slightyl more affluent than other parts but then that will be down to the resurant trade rather than any socioeconomic or racial factors...
here we go again with the standard bollocks church street v's the rest of stokie shite all over again ... funny how last weekend at butterfields road there didn't seem to be too much racial tension for what was in essenece a village fete, no doubt next weekend these same old faces will be revelling with the rest of them at stoke fest before not giving stokie another thought for year ....
The pub burning was a terrible incident, i used to drink in there, care to share wtf that has to do with the price of fish? I know someone who lives on Shakespeare estate, grew up on it. Yes, there are problems with local lads, instead of shrieking like some hysterical banshee, have you got anything positive as to how to address this issue? Understand 'less privelleged' [sic] people you say - Again, care to share when i moved into this affluent position of privilege? On what do you base this ad hom idiocy?You sad ignorant twat Garfield. Butterfields road?????? Do you mean Allen Road? A road where the pub used by locals got burnt down 2 kids burnt to death, 2 others left scarred for life..Across the road the launderette was also burnt down...A friend of mine who lived 2 doors away from the pub was murdered 6 years ago...It didnt make the papers....Across Butterfield green you have huge problems on the shakespeare estate with drugs and gang violence....
People like you and Paulie could live in Hackney for the next 40 years and still never understand what goes on amongst less privelleged people.
yes alright if you liek i'm one of them if that means you can sectraintly dvide up a community which as yet in nearly 15 years of living in it i have never seen then ok love.... you not even fucking living here for 30 seconds would of course be able to define an areas culture based on of nothing but your own sweet arsed preducies... wanker is what we tend to call you round that's all...you swearing again? my you have so little self control .. yes of course they .. the middle class tossers who infest church street think of it as a village .. are you one of them?
are you writing for the comic books again? what's with the extrainious puncituation unless it's to indicate that you are talking out of your arse.You sad ignorant twat Garfield.

So you live in this "village" area?
Every village has its idiot.

I've just reread the thread and am struggling to understand exactly what your point is - yes, there are quite stark and noticeable contrasts between people living on local authority estates and many of the people in the huge houses off church st and surrounds, but most of the young people i come into contact with are well behaved, respestful and decent people, who are as shocked and upset by incidents such as the murder of Etim before christmas as everyone else. I certainly don't see or hear about overt racial aggravation in the way that you have implied, more acquisitional crime based on poverty, opportunism, as well as drugs.
I believe that the council could do more, communities could do more, and individuals need to wake up to their roles and responsibilities towards young people. I think there's more that could be done with mentoring programmes, i think more could be done in terms of ensuring education is relevant and inspiring to such a diverse bunch of kids, youth workers funded to employ local people to work on the estates and getting to know the kids would bring about other financial savings, so the council should be making this case to central government as well as residents.

if you can of course point to where i have said there are no problems intrestingly you missed the house at the end of our old road which was firebombed the pub on northwold road which was burnt down and of course the more recent stabbings in your little diatribe... but of course living here you'd know... oh wait you don't....
wanker.
Garf me and durruti have never actually been to Hackney but it does look awwwful in the documentaries......
You silly sad twat.....You know next to nothing about Hackney after living there for 15 years...
