After I left, Jack Ashcroft's clog shop closed, jesse the cropper (1 style only five bob) gave up and the rope-walk burned down. Somehow there didn't seem much left.

Let us not forget it was Sloney who has imaginary friends that add to the Manchester crime figures by breaking into Granada.

Interesting. The media didn't pick up on the large fall but did on the bounce back after the snow.

No surprise fear of crime is higher than the reality.

You must be waiting in anticipation for anything bad to happen in the Manchester area then you can post the news on here with relish, bad things happen all over the country,
OK a few birds have their heads cut off and some goldfish are killed and yes,along with the vandalism its was not very nice,

but get real, 170 people are murdered on average in London alone every year

I went over this previously, but then looking at this section there is certainly a huge obsession with being second best anyway.

Oops.

Wrong city is bulgalry capital for the north.

Turns out if you compare apples with apples and not along local authority lines Leeds comes out above Manchester for bulgalries.

How odd.

Burglary isn't the only crime Metro. Do you have links to other categories so we can do a comprehensive comparison?

Indeed.

I just thought it hillarious that everyone is oh so obsessed with all things Manchester that every single issue crime related in Manchester is highlighted and not other places.

P.S. That link to the London - crime capital of the south thread - could you please post the link to it, I still cannot find it
