    Brighton is turning into a ghetto, unaffordable housing, rubbish graffiti everywhere(including the so called professional ones with their crappy montages), rubbish strewn everywhere and out of town druggies seeing it’s a soft touch-City of Sanctuary indeed.

    The moment Caroline Lucas and her ship of fools said ‘we are the city of sanctuary’, every junkie, scumbag & mountebank made a bee line for the town. Now you see the results and even the fragrant Caroline is leaving the now sinking ship of idiots. Thanks hun.

    Saw 2 druggies filling there bags in poundshop London road yesterday with stuff. The man behind the counter said they were in here earlier doing the same and they had pushed him. Only 2 workers in the shop that couldn’t do anything. So they were just getting away with it. Disgusting as we the paying customers will be paying for what they steal. As the prices will go up to cover this.

    That bench is the local crack pick up spot. So obviously there will be fights there. This is simply down to the police not enforcing the street drinking laws in this area.
    It’s not bars that are the issue, which the police hound to death at licencing panels, it’s the lack to patrols and the fact there are 3 off-licences selling cheap cider to junkies, who then scrap in public and aggressively beg throughout the north lane
