Of course it's people who don't even live in London who paint completely skewed pictures of the city. It's sad to see how much negative propaganda is being spread to induce fear, uncertainty and doubt. Why are you doing this?

Yes, almost everything you mentioned happens. You're probably going to come across some of it if you spend a bit more time here, and in some areas more than others. But you are exaggerating it all significantly - in reality these things are sporadic nuisances and it is SO far away from "everybody does what the hell they like" (implying lawlessness). Shameful really that you participate in this spread of bullshit about an amazing city.

Oh blimey, what a defensive post. Not everyone who dares to criticise your city is a paid outsider shill, chill down.

Not every defensive post is an accusation of shilling. I did no such thing

I got accused of propaganda and FUD. And I got told by a non Brit that I'm not allowed an opinion.

I responded entirely appropriately

Present your credentials. I'm from the south of England, my family lives in London, I spend plenty of time in London. I don't need your blessing to criticise the capital of the country I was born in.

Are you even British? If not, who the hell do /you/ think you are to accuse me of propaganda? I can tell you're not a native English speaker

> in reality these things are sporadic nuisances

THIS is the real propaganda

I straight up just live there, can you imagine? Every day!
