London road. Drunks. Druggies. Unemployed. Grim
So glad I live in a nice area!
Carmela sit down and have a coke and a smile.
Dyke road, number 3 on the most burgled streets in b&h.
Sounds to me like your being snobby !!
So sad you live there too – so sad for the other people who do. Brighton needs people who live there who are tolerant, kind and supportive. No one wants to be addicted to drugs or alcohol and no one wants to be unemployed.
This is the most dyke road thing i have ever seen.
How would you know if it was “Drug Related, Drink Related,the Unemployed or the Homeless..
It could be anyone, fighting because there angry about there life etc..
No mention that the police lost the injured man in their custody in hospital bad officers
Then harrasing the injured lads family because their officers lost him
