Just Google crime 1980''s Moss Side, there's plenty of evidence, as I said it probably wasn't as "dangerous" for locals but I worked in that area (nearby) in Betting Shops a Manager and detested it due to the number of incidents so mine and yours empirical evidence is at either end of the scale.

Correct. 30 years ago, I was drinking in the Beehive before and after matches with no problem. One Saturday, me and a mate got chatting and drinking in there after the match and lost track of time. At about 7:30, we looked up and realised we were the last two match attendees in there. We were quickly advised by the bar staff to get out and one of them even drove us into town to get us gone quckly.Safety in numbers, I'd did the same going to my first game around 1969, wouldn't have walked around that area at night on a non match day.
I think the country is at boiling point. Britain as whole is at boiling point , I think that tragedy has just blown the lid off. My local town last night a restaurant was attacked and the p word and allah was sprayed on the wall.

Recent trends point to more of these people simply being drawn to violence- the god or political belief can be unimportant or flipped on a whim. People are being conditioned and owned by social media lies, conspiracy theorists and an underlying evil baseness in their personalities stoked by what thy consume on the web.All the extremists seem to have a god. You never heard about athiest strongholds being sieged by agnostics.
Nearly brought a tear to my eye seeing this. Lovely community spirit. Lovely togetherness in the face chaos, disorder and islamophobia.

Remind me what god Adolf, Joe Stalin and Mao worshipped.
Because between them they had a reasonably impressive record for murdering people. As did Pol Pot. I don't think he was a Methodist either.
They were the god.
Which is your local town?I think the country is at boiling point. Britain as whole is at boiling point , I think that tragedy has just blown the lid off. My local town last night a restaurant was attacked and the p word and allah was sprayed on the wall.

Coming home from a game one evening (Hartlepool in the cup I think) I nearly got stabbed by three reds who pulled knives out on me.Just Google crime 1980''s Moss Side, there's plenty of evidence, as I said it probably wasn't as "dangerous" for locals but I worked in that area (nearby) in Betting Shops a Manager and detested it due to the number of incidents so mine and yours empirical evidence is at either end of the scale.
Moss side could be seriously bad for your health. I lived in Gorton then and that was rough as fuck but Moss Side eclipsed that and then I moved there like a daft ****.
On a night game you wouldn't be "on your Tod" though, there'd be plenty of others, we all walked through the back streets, it was notorious for a gang culture going back 40 years.I was often on my tod in back streets and entries. If some local gang had wanted to cut me up, I wouldn't have stood a chance. Maybe I was just lucky.
You just mention right wing misinformation, is that your only bone of contention here?
It's what sparked the riot last night.
A false Muslim name was given the night before as the attacker. Then another false story that a man was heading to the vigil with a machete.
Both started by and shared around by far right accounts.
This is inarguable over what started it.
