In any case, no way I'd go down to Mexico. One can be attacked anywhere, but they've had quite a few too many killings lately for my comfort level.
Also, has the swine flu cleared up there yet?
what does mexico have to do with me nbeing engaged with walid? i would visit my ex husbands family not him cas hes dead.i am not married now..my personal friends know my situation.. mostly my fb friends.

I say go, everyone should have all the holidays they can. However, I'm on your FB and I'm totally confused. I thought you were with Walid, but now you are mentioning a boyfriend who lives with you? Boy I'm so out of the loop lol.

Don't forget my heavy Russian accent ya helwa!!
And yes that's how I feel when I am in Egypt. I got so many memories with this place. It's always nice to return. Hubby tells me I should travel more in Europe and see different things but I just wanna go back to Egypt.
Well that might change when we relocate. F.e. the Bahamas are just off the Florida coast - people I talked to said it's paradise.

Tina, I so would loveeeee to show you Egypt's capital (I left my heart in Cairo ) but I believe you'd be more happy on a nice beach which Egypt has more than enough to offer. People there are in general just very down-to-earth, nice, helpful, it's super safe. Hopefully one day you can go and see it for yourself.

hi there this was actually in Newcastle but i also saw about the one you are talking about, its terrible isn't it. Crime now is horrific, it doesn't help that it is a totally racist area here and that we have had graffiti sprayed on my door about Remon. Its not safe here and i certainly do not feel secure.

Yorkshire I am stunned by what you wrote above! I really feel for you as I know the area you live in and it does have a bad reputation. I can't imagine how awful it must be for you. I would be onto the council and demanding they move you, there are plenty of other places, nice places you can go to. You can't be expected to stay there with a new baby. The rising crime rate is one of the things that put me off coming back to the UK. Dubai was a thousand times safer but then I'm living in a quiet village in Durham so we don't have any problems. I really feel for you x

The stabbing of the young boy in London is heartbreaking Such a waste of a young life.
YR, I would get onto the Housing Association and do what a friend of mine did last week in the Midlands... refuse to leave their office until they find you an alternative home... my friend has different circumstances to you as she has a severely disabled daughter but quality of life is paramount to you and your family, as it is to every other human being on this planet. Put your foot down or threaten to go to the media. Nobody deserves to be racially attacked... it is 2010 ffs.... surely by now you would think humans would have evolved a little!
DG, I too am put off returning to the UK due to the rising levels in crime. I feel 100% safe here, I would rather be called 'My Queen' and have my ass mentioned by random dudes than have the constant fear of being raped, mugged, stabbed and verbally abused in the street (and even in your own home.

I too have heard it is bad up that way yorkie. My BIL lived in Sunderland and had a terrible time. My husband noticed the difference when he first went up there 7 years ago, when people were nice and friendly. He went again just over a year ago and was shocked at how he was treated. Even the police were bad.
In all the years living here my husband has never had any problem, apart from up there. Sorry Yorkie, do as cheeky said and try and get a move. All the best.

In the West Midlands we have Black and Asian rivalry... that is our biggest crime wave. There was a programme called 'Who you calling a nigger?' on channel 4 narrated by Darkus Howe and it was based in and around my town where shoot outs and stabbings were all too common.
When I lived in Ghana there was tribal issues and here there are Religious issues. The world is fluffed up! Everyone seems to hate someone for reasons that are too ingrained by society!

In my town last week (the Village next door) were excavating a garden as they had found the remains of a foetus buried there. This is rare for my part of town but still disturbing.
I am just glad I don't live there any more, the recession hit it bad and it is like a ghost town. You know you live in a crap place when H&M and Primark open up shops!!!

YR, have you thought about renting instead of going council? If you rent, you can pick where you want to live, and can get help from housing benefit. As your husband is here only on tourist visa, you should be seen as a single parent (I am), so tax credits and HB should be able to give you a great help. That is what I plan to do. Council housing is practically non-existent in my area, unless I wanted a top floor, one bed flat in a drug den. And even for that the waiting list is years long.
My area is pretty safe- lots of chavs around the town centre though, and people seem to just love killing themselves on our railway, each to their own. But I do feel 100% safe. I've had more troubles in Egypt than here.

If you put yourself on benefits you could be seriously risking any chance of your husband getting a permanent settlement VISA's to the UK. One of the main criteria is financial independance from the state.
Housing benefit is in any case going to be subject to new rules under this new govenment. The benefits culture in the UK is going to be hard hit, UK just can't afford it anymore.

Penny is right, the clamp down by the new Government will make it nigh-on impossible to get folk over unless you are self sufficient and can support partners financially... the new Government are limiting how many foreigners can gain employment in the UK too... so partners may not be permitted in based on their employability in their home countries.

Ah yes, of course. At the moment you need to be earning £150 (give or take a few pounds) a week after bills to be considered able to support yourself, husband and one child. Tax credits actually count towards your income, and def do not count towards benefits that can get visas refused. So at least that will help greatly.

Wow, England's society must truly be getting worse. We just had a British friend over here the other day and he lives already for 8 years in Germany. He and his family intend to stay for good. He told me before that the Germans 'still have manners' and too many crimes are happening back home. Sad.

There is a Facebook Group begging the Icelandic volcano to erupt again as it is the only thing to have kept illegal immigrants out of the UK.
Of course it has gotten worse, do you ony read Egyptian News? People are being shot en massage in rampages, knife crime is extortionate and general crime through poverty is alarming.
Youths have no respect for themselves, their peers or their families or their society.
And who is to blame... the Government. It supports the criminals, it protects the wrong-doers and the general tax payer will now pay more tax for less service!!!
I am just glad a new Government got in, perhaps a reformation could be in sight.
I know a guy living in Germany and he doesn't miss the UK at all... neither do I.
I grew up in a nice little village, it is now over -run with council estates which have attracted chavs.
The town itself used to be a nice clean, close-knit place which is now reknown for it's young binge drinkers and tramps!!!
If I do ever return to the UK I am going to live in Brighton where there is still that safe feeling and it is always clean with an air of optimism.
I have never met a German who had manners, but I used to be in the Automotive trade and they were engineered to work like robots.
The Brits DO have manners, we are all salt of the earth friendly folk who will chat in bus stops... however, the minute you back is turned you bag has been stolen!!!

Oh dear. Have to say Ferret, I disagree with pretty much everything you just said. Firstly, our immigration troubles are no where near as dramatic as certain newspapers make out. The majority of immigrants we have coming in are EU, conservatives will not, and can not change that. Their policies will just limit skilled workers coming from non-EU countries, people we need. Oh as well as making it harder for us to get our spouses in. It is not nearly as easy to just waltz into the UK illegally like everyone makes out either. Many people are dedicated to finding illegal’s, but finding one person who doesn't want to be found is difficult, no matter who the government is, or what we put in place.
Youths have always been "trouble" makers. They haven't suddenly lost respect for their elders. People look back on history with tinted glasses. However, if you actually talk to grandparents, etc, they will tell you a fair share of stories about what they used to get up to. There have always been rough areas too. At least nowadays people actually give a **** about the youth instead of the old "seen but not heard" mantra. There is so much around geared at giving teens the best start in life and to help them get away from crime. Nowadays we are taught every one in a youth is a thug, every man is a paedophile, and every girl is a slut. It is the countries perception of people that needs to change, and then a lot will realise that actually, it isn't that bad. Maybe a lot of it is down to self fulfilling prophesy.
And I used to be the most unpatriotic person about England... Until I went to Egypt lol.

I found 3 editions of our local paper from 50 years ago the other week. It was fascinating reading the adverts of the day, some private businesses are still going strong today but what I did note was the lack of crime. Each copy had one crime, a woman who stole a wallet, the manager of the local golf club being charged with watering down the whisky and a man found sitting in someone's home under the influence of meths! I remember from High School there was a gang of sorts who used to get the bus 4 miles down the road for a scrap with the next town after all they were so different there They would come back with the odd cuts and bruises nothing more. There was no knives being carried like nowadays. My mum used to say that a murder was so rare it was huge news. Reality is it's such common place now that people barely bat an eyelid. life seems to be cheap and expendable over something so trivial as stealing a bottle of wine or a couple of pounds or having the audacity to ask a gang to stop vandalising their car Posts: 4476 | From: Scotland | Registered: Mar 2006
