- If you could instantly go back to that time, spend a day in London, then be back in London 2018 - I think you'd cry at what we've lost and what London's become.shapesalad
- yeah ... was moaning about this with my fiancée last nightmugwart
- except for the fact that in the 1960s millions were living in slums and there was a higher proportion of impoverished householdslowimpakt
- ^ nothing has changed thenmugwart

When you need to launch an app to flag dangerous area's surely any concept of a crime problem has gone too far:
https://twitter.com/TheHunchApp
"Help us fight back against #knifecrime and make our city safer. By downloading Hunch, the new early warning knife crime app. Free, simple and anonymous. Download now from Google Play & the App Store https://www.hunchapp.co.uk/ "
- How about a copying the Japanese Kōban system - lots of little local police stations to help communities feel safer.shapesalad
- ^ of course in UK Kōban wouldn't' last more than a week before graffiti, vandalised, fire bombed and officer beaten to a pulp...shapesalad
- I saw this vaguely in the papers earlier, inwarldy groaned and moved on, ignoring it. It's easy to make an app, so there's a retarded app for everything.detritus
- The majority of stabbings and shit are - like most violent crime - between already-knowns and within young social structures.detritus
- Oh, hold on - perhaps I misunderstood WHAT the app is. Hold on, I retract the above. Perhaps I shoudl have read the article, loldetritus
- Seems like an extension of the 'see it say it sorted' anti terrosit shit from the past decade, or neighbourhood watch from the decades beforehand..detritus
- ..just aimed at youth, comparative anonymity and away from curtain twitchers. I see nothing terribly bad here.detritus
- Although I can imagine it being a targetting vector for square kids at school "Oy, cant, let me see your apps - you got Hunch on there? I'LL STAB YOU"detritus
- I just wish LDN would start vigilante squads against scooter cunts - noisy food drivers included. Fuck those fucks.detritus
- thats the UK for you. we have to tolerate EVERYTHING without question. #keepcalmandcarryon more like #shutupandputuptrooperbill
- No, no, no - that's the fucking problem with the English -0 they whinge and moan and complain about everything.. but actually DO fucking nothing.detritus
- Very few people in this country actually stand up and say or do anything, so shit slides and everthing gets worse. Fucking Daily Mail reading classes, all.detritus
- I spend a lot of time walking the streets (slut that I am) and am basically a nutter because I get in arguments weekly, because I DO say shit to people.detritus
- I got called a 'white cunt' and spat at the other day because some moped fuck was being a dick - I was tired and perhaps should've backed down...detritus
- ..but instead I took him to task and didn't back down. He had to make a choice in the end - was his dickery worth it, or did he back down and fuck off?detritus
- So he fucked off. I got a warm smile from a person in an adjacent car (i was on foot), and then I carried on my way. Thankfully he was shit at spitting & misseddetritus
- If I ever stop posting on here, it'll be because I've been stabbed by some wretched cunt...detritus

"Property developers have failed to sell a single flat in east London’s brutalist landmark Balfron Tower, forcing them to withdraw 139 properties from the market and reconsider the future of the building."
- Nothing sold? That's brutal mate...shapesalad
- there's nothing more depressing or dystopian than brutalist architecture. especially when it rains._niko

Anyone know of a free co-working space in London, if not free something around the £100 per month mark. Ideally open weekends.
It used to be that you paid £150 -/+ and could get monthly hot desk access, as much as you wanted it for. Now it seems you pay that and are limited to 40 or so hot desk hours. To get everyday per month access you got to pay £400 -/+. WTF. Add to that extortionate rent and metro tube costs... god damn this city is a drain.

- When there has to be a book about it.... you know there's a problem...shapesalad
- There are plenty of other cities that are just as interesting, cheaper, with better weather and safer.Chimp
- why anyone needs a book to up sticks and go is beyond me. but then again hoxton press so full of hipster bullshittery, where to go that has a decent coffee shophans_glib
