I feel like I just missed something. So a bloke got banned for using rather derogatory language presumably. Calling people offensive names is not going to go down too well on a public site. Banning someone isn't censorship. Its being held accountable for your speech. Censorship would involved deleting his post, or hiding it. Instead its there for all to see.

How long have you lived in Bristol? I've lived here since 1982. Fishponds is now an up and coming Somalian district judging by my visits to the health centre. Kingswood is not a part of Bristol I need or want to visit, but I seriously doubt that it is a worse place to visit than St Pauls or Easton at night. HTV and Points West have reported gun crime on Stapleton Rd at least 3 times this year to my knowledge involving Yardies and Asians. I said within a radius of 10 miles... so you narrowed it down to 3 miles... so what? St Pauls was last gentrified in the 1800's. The once lavish 4 storey townhouses are now damp ridden bedsits. I have a friend that was threatened with a knife in St Pauls 4 years ago at the carnival by a black gang of youths. You're a bit quick to dismiss the race card to me. Oh and I often see plod in both Frenchay and Stapleton (probably making an excuse not to have to go to St Pauls or Easton) as I "venture" into both of them in my retirement every day. Edited by Hoof Hearted (16 Nov 2016 10.44am) Hoof, you are chatting out your arse. Ive just been living on the border of Montpelier/St. Paul's (10 minute walk to Cheltenham Road/Stoke's Croft) for several years. St. Paul's is becoming gentrified quite spectacularly; this backed up by my friends' sky-rocketing rents for the St. Paul's area. There is no gang warfare; all that stuff with the Aggi Crew stopped over ten years ago. The problems you describe are found in every city in the UK, irrespective of race. Not once did I get trouble, despite me being out at silly o'clock sometimes in what you describe as "dodgy" areas. I'm sorry that your friend was once threatened with a knife at a large event four years ago, but I know countless people who've had the same issues in Carshalton and Wallington.

Just popped into this thread and I've missed all the fun. I always like to ask the England for English people what they mean by English. I have yet to receive a coherent response. Guessing you've only asked the average Millwall fan. Not really a motto I'd ever quote but I can see why one might favour people who want to be English over those who just expect some sort of rapid homogenisation. The latter are mainly the white middle class though.

Nationalism can be a good thing, but in the UK it does tend to get used to justify all the things people don't like and don't want, rather than being about the positive aspects of nationhood. I've met some, and there are some on here, who have a positive ideal of nationalism. But for many it seems to hide a thinly veiled excuse for hate, spite and their own insecurities.

Thank you for your pleasant opening gambit.... you are a charmer. I mentioned Easton as well as St Pauls.... see the above article from the Evening Post (and was highlighted on local TV) about a shooting which the police say they're keeping an open mind on, but we all know it involves drugs. There have been quite a few reports of gun crime ad stabbings in and around Stapleton Road this past few years. As for St Pauls becoming gentrified I am not yet convinced, but I confess I haven't actually driven through it lately. Montpelier/Stokes Croft/Cheltenham Rd areas are a bit different to City Road St Pauls and immediate environs though. I doubt that you'd be made welcome in any of the pubs there? Having said that I agree that you would probably not be made welcome in the pubs of Southmead or Knowle West (particularly if you were foreign looking or had a non Bristolian accent). But your conclusion that danger lurks in every city in the UK doesn't reassure me and that demonstrates a massive sea change in behaviour since I was out and about at "silly O'clock on the lash in my youth.
