The society in London

I don't know what has happened to the capital city, but there is more graffiti, hobos, binge drinkers and general all-round-rejects than ever before.

For instance, I went to the London Aquarium and had my camera pickpocketed. On the way from Waterloo station to the aquarium, I saw three homeless people, tons of graffiti scrawled on the floor and 3 people who were being questioned by the police.

Admittedly, I saw quite a few police, but they are not enough to drive crime down to tolerable levels.

Has something like this happened to anyone else?
Does anyone disagree with me when I say that the mayor of London should do more?

It's more about being streetwise I spose.

Take for instance last Friday. Was up in Leicester sqaure with mates and we went to Cirque. The club shut at 3, and the square was just as busy as it was at 10pm. There were so many police around, and the fact that there's practically a CCTV camera for every 5 people, I felt pretty safe. Even on the train, at 5.30, on my own, I felt safe.

Last Friday at 3am I'm in the main part of Leicester Square, outside Equinox/Empire. There's no policemen, two huge fights taking place and a bit of pill popping. 50 yards away there's 3 policemen spending their time reducing a homeless person to tears for illegally busking.

Yes, that's very important. No joke.

I didn't see any trouble, how weird! then again, I was sitting on the floor near the odeon eating pizza.

To be fair, the aquarium really does attract the troublemakers.

That Pizza Hut takeaway stall must be making a killing.

I think that somebody who flashes their phone on the top of a bus (and isn't prepared to defend themselves) fully deserves to be robbed.

The amount of times I've seen that happen is ridiculous.

Trying to get on guestlist for Tantra/Chinawhites/Nell's over the next weekends. This'll be a challenge...

My favourite DJs (Patife & Marky) are resident DJs at one place in London, can't remember where though. I'd love to go to a set.

Does anybody know where?

Hehe - we got into Cirque for free 'cause some guy stamped our hand. I'm sure you could easilly get on the guestlist so long as you found the guy in the square who's handing out the leaflets and is desperate to bump up his commission lol.
