Either way, I'm not sure the quality of life in Croydon is quite the point of the thread, although it's a convenient distraction from discussing the actual issue.

However the issue has been known about for some time and the response has been shoddy. Heperbole? people have been deported. Virtual signalling? Your stock answer when anyone displays anything resembling compassion in a post

Close to it, but no actual cases have come to light yet where it has happened.

Your stock answer when anyone displays anything resembling compassion in a post You just engaged in hyperbolic speech and stated something as a reality that you didn't know is true and isn't actually true from what we know. Yes, I like the term, 'virtue signal', it does sum up rather a lot of pathetic beta behaviour from a lot of people. Perhaps I overuse it....but it's a lot of fun.

I think perhaps you won't be shocked to find out that the best brains in the country rarely end up in administrative management.
