Just Another Crime Statistic In The Big Smoke
London just like most other big cities all over the world it has got its fair share of criminals and scumbags. It seems that almost every other day I’m reading about a teenager stabbed or shot to death in London, for no real reason. The only person that doesn’t seem to see the shoplifters in the locals Sainsbury’s or Superdrug is the security guards. I would hazard a guess and say that virtually every single minute of every single day there is some sort of crime committed in London.
I remember the very first day I started living in London on a permanent basis, which was 14 months ago, wow I cant believe I have been here so long. I honestly feel like I have just got here. Time sure does fly buy when your having fun.
I had managed to sleep on the Virgin, flight back to London so I wasn’t too tired. Those Premium Economy seats sure as hell are 10 times more comfortable than Cattle Class! I dumped my luggage, had a shower and headed out to see what Wembley had to offer. I had managed to get a good deal for 7 nights at the Travelodge or whatever its called, that’s what had brought me to this part of North London.
I decided to go for a stroll around Wembley before my hot date later on with a Jamaican girl I use to know and grab a wee bite to eat. I found a decent enough looking cafe close to Hanger Lane Tube station. The Polish waitress who could only string about 3 words of English together was having real problems dealing with my Scottish accent. Which I found kinda funny, in fact I put on a even stronger Scottish accent just for the hell of it. I was only asking for their Panini special, glass of fresh orange juice and a large mocha. She was a stunning looking girl, so it was easy not to get annoyed.
After my wee bite to eat I went for a wander around Wembley when suddenly two youths came rushing out of the newsagents chased by two Indian guys in hot pursuit shouting and swearing like crazy at them. The scumbags ran in front of cars and made a hasty escape. I also couldn’t believe the amount of police cars and vans than had came whizzing past me in the hour or so I had been walking around. I was thinking my brainwave to live in London was perhaps not such a good idea after all.
Just as I was walking to the tube station to meat up with the Jamaican booty girl, I watched two youths jump out of a car, which was stuck at the lights on North Circular Road and run for it. The two cop cars that were in pursuit had to stop chasing them to deal with the abandoned car. I will tell you this I was seriously thinking about hiring a car and heading back home to Aberdeen at this stage. I hadn’t even seen one criminal act in the whole 9 months I had been living in Barbados. WELCOME TO LONDON.
Things thankfully didn’t get any worse, in fact I don’t personally witness to much crime of any kind most weeks. Apart from of course the occasionally wee piece of shoplifting. Oops I almost forgot, there seems to plenty of white collar crime happening in London, just ask those crooked MP’s, bankers and local councillors.
There however seems to be a bit of crime epidemic happening here in Kilburn at the moment. This budding Sherlock Holmes, aka William K Wallace cant but help but notice that something is up. Every morning I head out for my power walk and because I’m the sort of guy that likes variety I never take the same route two days on the trot. Every other day I come a across a car with a front pavement side window smashed in and this is happening within I would say a 1 mile or so radius.
It has obviously happened during the middle of the night and I would hazard a guess that this crime wave has been committed by the same person or persons. I don’t know if the driver had left something in plain view or whether they were after the sound system. I wonder what the chances of the cops catching them, very slim unless they set up a trap for the crooks, but that probably involves too much time, effort and of course money. Maybe I should email Gordon Brown and ask him if he could get the armed forces in Iraqi and Afghanistan to use a few less bombs and then we would save a bit of money that could be used to fight crime here in the UK.
I guess all those cars getting broken into round here, will more than likely just become another London crime statistic. Lets face facts, if by a miracle the cops catch whoever is responsible for breaking into countless cars, the judge will give them a slap on the wrist and tell them not to do it again. “Honest judge I’m sorry, I wont do it again. My mum use to beat me when I was a youngster that’s why I’m like this.” What the crook really means is that my mother never beat me once, that’s why I’m thieving scumbag that likes to steal what other people have worked hard to pay for.

Crime is everywhere. It’s getting worse, if you ask me. People are becoming more and more violent, being a thug has been more glamorized, doing a bit in jail is seen as normal, and there are more people nowadays that would rather steal it or take it by force than to just go and get a job like everyone else.
It’s getting tough out here!
