Does anyone seriously think that is any different to any other city in the world?

During the week I live and work in London. The difference between some areas is astronomical. From a horrible area with a tonne of knife crime, inhabited by the scum of society to the areas where the bloody gentry live and cost an absolute fortune for the very smallest of homes!

Whilst I don't doubt people's stories, it is interesting to see everyone suddenly bring up a whole host of remarkable observations on what they have seen or had done to them. Maybe America does have a far greater problem than the UK. But I have never seen so many issues witnessed by so many people.

No surprises to everyone thinking guns are the answer as well Always an interesting cultural difference. No guns here, little to no gun crime and it would appear, a lot less violent crime. That is an observation, not an opinion. I am undecided on whether I think that is right or not, but it is not for England and I don't think it would do well to now remove it from the US.

And bobbies dont carry guns over there either.

This is 99% correct. There are occasions in airports and sometimes in 'The City of London' which is essentially the CBD of London, where you will see quite heavily armed policemen. That is usually a very unsubtle way of them showing that there is a potential threat! Doesn't make a sod's worth of difference to anyone going about their daily business though
