Which is worst: Hackney or Brixton?

[dolly's gal]

In that case I'd be curious to know exactly where in Hackney the level of streetdealing exceeds that of Brixton.

yeh i'd be interested in this too...

 

[Madusa]

and me.

and where one gets shouted at agressively when offered drugs, i say, 'no tar' and they proceed to shout 'rastafari, what the fuck...' and follow me for a few paces just because i have dreads or whatever. I honestly dislike walking around the streets of brixton.

 

[GarfieldLeChat]

maybe i just have the face of an addict them is that what you're all saying

 

[marty21]

I cant help wondering how they'd fare walking down sandringham rd!

you'd be surprised, sandringham road is a lot different from 5/10 years ago, it's not the same anymore at all

No. We're asking exactly where in Hackney the level of streetdealing exceeds that of Brixton. Could you enlighten us?

no where have i suggested such a thing merely that levels of gun crime are indicative of the drugs trade. forest road springs to mind however as does upper and lower clapton roads.

that and when ever i'm out and about someone offers me drugs

At first I suspected you didn't really know what you were talking about; now I know it. Cheers

 

[marty21]

tbh, i've only once been offered drugs when walking about in hackney, and that was at 4am

on the times i have been to brixton, it's the norm

huh?

oh excuse me for merely point things out from my experince ... as it happens i'm pretty sure that heleics and other groups will advise you of one of the size of the problem within hackeny releating to drugs particually crack and smack.. you choose to be blind to it fine but grow the fuck up if you concordance doesn't chime with others round here...

having worked with people during the recent mayorial elections i can assure the the level and state of the drug problem in hackney is huge, and as i said just because there isn't a large group of people lotiering outside a tube station doesn't neigate the problem.

There is no mutual exclusivity to drug problems only for brixton, or for that matter opperation trident...

But if you want to play the i'm more street than you bollcoks game go for your life... moron...

 

[dolly's gal]

Garf, but you said earlier in this thread that:

trust you will be offered drugs all the time.

i have lived in hackney for over five years and never been offered drugs on the street, whereas when i lived in brixton it was at least a twice-daily occurrence.

nobody is denying that hackney has a drugs problem, but what they are saying is that the high level of street-dealing that is seen in brixton isn't seen in hackney.

i'm offered drugs near enoug daily say about 7 or 8 times a week dependant on where i go...

couplled with the fact that when my car was done over last year the police mentioned there was a considerable drugs problem nearby which was the likely cause... not to mention the firebombings releated to crack or the near by green lanes summer clourses over smack turf wars... as i said maybe it's cos i look like and addict, maybe it's because you don't... i dunno but what i don't get is how i can say yup it happens a lot in my experince and the third degree is applied and you can say it doens't happen from your experince and that makes it totally acceptable...

seems there's some sort of sqewed value judgement gwan here...

how does your experience in hackney compare to your experience in brixton? cos that's what we're really talking about... i think most people's experience of brixton is that street dealing is rife, whereas in hackney, well it's only you on this thread that appears to have had direct contact with it. no one's saying it doesn't happen, rather that it's way worse in brixton.

i have seen the hashskunkweed dealers in brixton but never been appraoched by them which kinda blows the whole looking like and addict thing out of the water... (unless the can smell inherant north lundun pheromones or summit on me and assume that i'm not intrested...) we don't have a single focal point like the tube or cold harbour lane in hackney, as i have said, however abbney park cematray is still a smackheads paradise... the problems on the estates of forest road and the surrond areas to the point of a number of the estates on queens bridge street which have been turn over and turned out due to the drug problems are all just a problematic, moreover the level of gun crime has increased within hackney as a result of the drugs, which is of concern...

I've been approached by more ladies of the night in Hackney actually.

But other than that I stand by my earlier statement that Brixton is far worse.

so have i, and i work in shacklewell lane, which has a problem with curb crawlers, no idea what that issue is like in brixton

there were loads in streatham when i lived there. just at the top of brixton hill.

 

[feerd]

Thats a hard one because they both suck. Maybe Brixton tips it because it is in the not so wanky south and doesn't go on quite so much about how great it is.

No 'bed bars' either.

you live in Croyden ffs
its worse than either for violent crime. its name is a byword for urban blight and general tedium. oh and your local mosque has been taken over by fundaMentalists who want to kill us all.....and its not even in London
so you can shut it

The issue in Brixton is a major-ish problem and has been for quite some time. Brixton Hill where I live is pretty rife with the ladies of the night...has been for quite some time...well many many years actually.

 

[ohmyliver]

Eh? I got so tired of being hassled around that corner of Hoxton square near the 333 that I was tempted to get a t-shirt made up saying 'my name IS NOT Charley Pills' ... and thats in 'Ackney

I'm not equating drug dealers with gun crime. I'm talking about the minute you get out of Brixton Station you get offered drugs of one kind or another. I have never been offered drugs on the street in Hackney. I'm not saying drugs aren't available, but it's more the case that you have to seek it out rather than the other way round.
