This is the second time it has disbanded. I have no doubt it will be back. With the only decent bits being done by women.

Yardies are indeed very violent : hence lots of enemies and they/police will never know who does anything to upset them!
You should leave the uk : but remember when you get there it might be full of foreigners. Though I believe Jamaica is a good place to live.....
(is if that icon is necessary - but dont want you getting upset)
then again, you'r right in saying they have so many enemies, they won't know who it is...

Nice post threaded, it sort of confirms what I suspected, nowhere seems to escape the general degradation of society, it's unravelling around our feet.

Well, if you're a techie, you only need English in Denmark realistically. So here's one place, and if you don't live in the city the people are generally much nicer than the UK. They often say they want Danish as well, but that's mostly just the lazy excuse they give if they don't want you, but can't be bothered to think of something better.
But for arseholes, Denmark isn't much better. Except here they don't speak English (or comprehensible Danish for that matter) so you generally don't know what is upsetting them.
The general level of low level violence in Copenhagen is quite high compared to the UK. There's always someone you see when wandering about the office with a black eye. But you can generally avoid it, if you know what to do.
This time of year being on your own on a lonely stretch of road in the dark is generally asking for a car full of drunks to pull up and give you a beating. Luckily I'm on a bike and most times can make my escape. Others I know have not been so lucky, and only a few days ago a chap was stabbed to death for no better reason than he was on his own, waiting to cross the road.
If you're on a train you do not speak, otherwise they can hear you're a foreigner and that is asking to be attacked. With obvious foreign looking guys getting it worse.
Driving a car about in Copenhagen is an utter nightmare. You'd think with the fantastic price of cars here they'd take care, and there isnt that much traffic really so there's no need for the stress level, but no, it is a war zone. On my cycle commute I regularly come across the remains of serious traffic accidents and actually capture on my helmet camera one or two a month. Only a few days ago, whilst it was snowing, a guy on a practically empty motorway got upset he had to change lanes when he caught up with a slower moving car, so overtook, pulled in front, and slammed his brakes on causing a pileup and killing several people.
Funnily enough, many people who stop cycling this time of year and take to their cars and public transport, is not because of the cold, it rarely gets really cold, but because of the risk of being attacked because it is dark and they're on their own. Many long distance commuter cyclists have the absolute minimum of lights and reflectors so they cannot be seen, yet don't get fined by the police for not having any. It's not like the UK, here the cycle paths are generally quite seperate from the road so it's not like the cars need to see you.
My girly, who's a Policeofficer, told me of a case where one neighbour trained their dogs to go to neighbours gardens to do their business, they caused several fender benders as they crossed the roads unattended, eventually this escalated into a murder. Why did they train their dogs to do this? Because they didn't like to clean up after them.
So all in all the general level of arseholeishness is higher than what I remember of the UK, and the risks involved in a confrontation are significantly higher, but as long as your wealthy enough so you can avoid the city it's really quite a nice place.
