Loved the Poole is a beautiful place Newsreel.

Well done, I enjoyed it.

What music are you using here?

[zoomlyboomly]

its a piece of music that was played into factories to keep the workforce chirpy!... i thinks its 'calling all workers' (eric coates).

[drasticdave]

@elmobjr97 mate ive got plenty of family in bradford so i have visited regularly i would definetly agree that bradford is a shithole but only from what ive been told when i go up there its nice as pie, much like how you see poole when you come down. bradford is deffo worse than poole i would never contest that

[elmobjr97]

@ubmilitant you wanna see a real shithole? come up to bradford *yorkshire* poole is nothing like a shithole.

[elmobjr97]

i'm from yorkshire and love going to poole on my hols. P.s its NOT a shithole come to yorkshire (bradford) and you can see what a real shithole looks like!

I hate living here.

[ubmilitant]

you named west howe turlin moor and canford heath, what about alderney, bourne estate, trinidad estate which technically are one of the most deprived wards in the country, what about old town estate, upton heath estate, waterloo estate etc dont be blind if you had been through the experiences i have and been around the sort of things i have you would have a different view of poole as a whole

[ubmilitant]

i agree with you that canford heath has got better, but you are buying into the usual media trends, as a resident of turlin moor i can tell you it has only got worse, in 2 years i have personally witnessed 3 stabbings had my car stolen, been jumped, had several houses around me burnt down, been threatened at knife point and other horrible things, everywhere in the country has bad areas thats a fact, poole has nicer areas than most. but it also has terrible areas just like anywhere else

[MPTutor]

@ubmilitant What complete garbage! Violent crime has exploded here? They kept that quiet then! Yes there are undesirable areas and undesirable people: LIKE EVERYWHERE! But the vast majority of this area is very pleasant to live in. Canford Heath WAS bad years ago but today it is a good, low crime place to live. Even the likes of Turlin Moor and West howe have improved hugely from their bad old days.

Guess being militant means you must have your whinge!

[ubmilitant]

and if your tired of me giving statistics i will gladly give some of my personal experiences

[ubmilitant]

altho poole harbour, the quay etc are beautiful, poole is surrounded and full of rough unpleasant estates, which i have lived in and around since i moved down here, unfortunetly the council and the media do there best to cover up anything that happens, which as forced a curtain of lies infront of the public. statistically the living quality for 12 out of 18 wards in poole is considered poor and deprived, Hamworthy west, Alderney and newtown are in the 10% most deprived areas in the country
