Always amazes me how in a 95% plus white area, that police have trouble finding so many non-white men who stand between 5 foot 3 & 5 foot 6-unless they are coming in from outside the area then going back.
Is this the same Cliftonville that’s the 8th coolest place in the world, or is it a different one?
I think it’s 8% of foreignes
I was there last week, I can only assume there is another place called Cliftonville in the world, because it sure as heck didn’t describe the place I was in.
Re the robbery, I was just surprised he was up that early in the morning.
Yes Peter same 8th coolest place , you check it out stand by the clifftop when the Northeast wind is blowing but pick your time, day , take some form of protection with you like a hammer or a knife and if using your bike say good by to that.
At a guess you will pass .
Check the Southern end of Dalby Square any day at anytime and you will see plenty just like the one described. Drug dealing is going on there in broad daylight and never any police to stop it. A lady was mugged a month ago around the corner in Arthur Road and the culprit is still walking around in the same streets doing drugs but the police are never around to catch him even when called up. Beware people as our streets are not safe from these evil muggers.
