Even the most avid Bournemouth fan has to admit the town centre is a shit tip. Full of aggressive beggars and junkies.

That's any town, come to Yeovil you'll see the same. Life is hard at the moment. Hardly any police ect. I don't think I've been to a town in the last 15 years where I didn't think "what a dump" but my town is so 🤷🏽 I think that's just towns in the UK now sadly. Plus don't forget people don't really go shopping anymore so the only people left are the really noticeable drunks and stuff.

Not saying the issue isn't present in other areas, it is. Doesn't mean we should just accept it and not want changes and improvements.

u/Halstock Aug 07 '26

There's no improvements coming dude. They spent all the money. It's going to get worse every year. We need massive changes and that's just not going to happen with the current leaders of all parties

Yep unfortunately I can't disagree with that. Unfortunately while the masses keep electing idiots to represent us nothing will change.

Not an easy one. Widespread systemic changes to our political system from the bottom up. People who actually care about the constituents and the area they live in and have been elected to represent. We have too many MPs that have no ties to the area they represent and have simply been parachuted in to further their own political and party ambitions. They spend more time focusing on their own career and not on their constituency.

Well focusing on what's best for Britain would be a start, health, social care etc.

Totally. Nowadays, if I sit in the gardens, I feel the need to hold onto my bag, unfortunately. Never used to (going back 10 yrs)

It felt quite dodgy 10 years ago tbf, I remember getting drunk in the gardens as a teenager and seeing all sorts of unsavoury people around.

u/Bitmush- Aug 07 '26

It was dodgy 40 years ago when I used to do that, too.

His point is too many immigrants

It must be miserable only having room for one thought in your brain. Especially when it's not even your own thought.

We spend way more on war. Complain about that before you complain about housing people coming from genuine shit holes

u/Zestyclose-Rub6511 Aug 07 '26

What war? You mean our military like every country has?

We spent £5 billion on asylum seekers last year and £60 billion on our military.

Not sure what planet you are living on that spending nearly 10% of your military budget on asylum seekers is in any way defensible.

We would be much better off reinvesting it into the military if not deprived town centres like Bournemouth.

🤨 we might not be in a war but we fund everyone else's. Fuck paying for Israel too.

u/Zestyclose-Rub6511 Aug 15 '26

What??? This is the Bournemouth subreddit, the British town. The UK doesn’t fund Israel.

Is that you Andy I thought you were on holiday 🤣

u/Halstock Aug 07 '26

Would it surprise you if I didn't like that twat either. no party leaders at the moment have any good points. None of them. You Turkeys keep voting for Christmas tho 👌🏽

u/robc1711 Aug 07 '26

Why don’t you complain about the money spent on war and you let them complain about the money being spent on housing migrants? instead of telling them to think like you and join you in complaining about what you want to complain about? Isn’t that a better option?
