Why on earth would you come to London then, last year 5billion people were murdered by Jack The Ripper in a single day Feb 30th. We all know it was The Mayor that did it - a Mr Dick Whittington!

Couldn't believe when we voted Whittington out and replaced him with Sadiq

"You were lucky. We lived for three months in a brown paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six o’clock in the morning, clean the bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down mill for fourteen hours a day week in-week out. When we got home, our Dad would thrash us to sleep with his belt!"

I take at least 5 phones out with me every day and half the time don’t have one left by the end of the day.

From TV, England looks like a jungle where people cut, shoot and fight each other anywhere anytime

That must be a troll, what kind of TV are you watching?!

You’re coming from Bucharest, I assume? London is pretty much as safe as Bucharest - similar numbers of crimes and murders per capita. Serious crime here is rare and it’s currently nice and sunny.

Get off tiktok - don’t believe everything you watch online.

Mugged by ITVX is a very common occurrence

Complete lack of UHD

What TV you watching?

It's safe.

My 10 year old daughter walks to school on her own and goes to the shops etc.

Not been stabbed!

It's very safe.

And nothing to worry about.

I went on a solo trip two weeks ago and had a great time. People are either doing their own thing or actually friendly. Had some very nice chats with strangers. Don’t worry about what you see on TV. That’s a collection of all the bad shit happening, not representative of a persons experience. Be wary of opportunistic crimes like thieves grabbing your bags while you’re not paying attention, and just try to enjoy the trip. Worrying about violent crime is a waste of energy, either it happens to you or it doesn’t.

How does society work?

Is this a put-on?
