I suspect in some ways but not others from conversations with relatives
Certainly seemed so in my idyllic existence, although I think noncing was always a thing, I possibly had a couple of experiences if I hadn't got out of the way.
So apart from that nothing,I mean I learnt to drive at 14 on a milk round, nowadays I'd be a joy rider.

Speaking to the 'elders' in my wider group of friends talk about the 80s as if it were the wild west and Saturdays being scenes reminiscent of 'The Warriors'... Glad I weren't around for that!
Suspect has been named as Anthony Williams.
So yeah, you probably shouldn't jump to conclusions.

I expect psychiatric reports will flag up all sorts of issues, references to the devil suggest all isn't well in his head, that's for the future though, I just hope the train guard is ok and profiteering train companies are forced to rethink the removal of guards from trains as by all accounts he saved a lot of lives.
I haven't heard of many Middle Eastern people called Anthony, have you?

Also not Middle Eastern, as you well know.
Well done on missing the point as usual.

I'd love to find out one day that PVA and Grendel were actually the same person
or am embittered couple that vent their anger at each other via a football forum. Fast Show sketch vibes.
Always a bit of exaggeration but while I was a bit too young and only caught the late 80's it was definitely more punchy but perhaps less stabby. Nightlife was dismal
Just the odd head kicked in in my twenties on the town, Brown girl in the ring,John someone from Stoke got done somewhere near studio 21 I think.Struggling to remember properly.

I'm 71 now but knocked about in the City Centre in the early to mid 70's... can't remember a Friday or Saturday night where a fight outside (or inside a pub) didn't happen.
I have a scar on my right forearm from a slash from a lad with a Stanley Knife during a scrap (happened in Gosford st).
One of my best mates was stabbed in the back and slashed across his back several times in Primrose Hill park after a night out at the Mercer's Arms Disco (in hospital for a couple of days),the lad that did it went on to be a member of the Specials.
Coventry was pretty rough in those days tbh, but no internet, mobile phones or forums etc....that's the biggest difference between then and now...things that happen now have always happened.

Someone in Cambs police will be hauled over the coals for missing 2 opportunities to prevent the whole thing escalating from one stabbing to 11.

Do we even know the hero was an immigrant or are we just basing it on his name? There was another hero too, the Forest fan. Both amazing people wherever they are from. I'm not sure the desperate to prove he's not foreign is any better than wanting to prove he was, it's all a bit 'ooh look a I'm happy because the man who stabbed people on a train was born here'.
Surely he's a c**t regardless and the sympathy should still be with the 11 victims?

oh dear. It is so hard for you to say done to someone not born in the country.
Nah there was people jumping all over this as further proof that immigration is bad and the country has 'gone' because of it. Those people have now disappeared. That deserves to be called out.
As for your last line, yes absolutely he's a c**t regardless of nationality. That's the point!
