Sounds like teenage behaviour or maybe someone handicapped. When i was a teen i occasionally would bare music out of a speaker walking around, typical idiotic teenage stuff.

Well, clubbing does exist, so they're probably asking what you mean by clubbing doesn't exist

Way too much of my time, yes. I try to understand people and things to a far too complex extent, I need to learn to just live and appreciate that I don't need to understand everything.

Race and racism are constructs way too complex to simply claim that Britain is the 'least racist country in the world' as some of these top comments are doing. I can't be bothered to engage with this topic just wanted to let you guys know that it's really not as simple as you are making it

As a mixed guy who grew up in London I can tell you for a fact that it matters. The gang culture in London isn't just about selling drugs and money, there's another layer to it which is who's more of a badman and who's a victim. I got bullied relentlessly by everything until I hardened up. Was terrible, I'm still trying to get over all the trauma at 22

I only visited Uxbridge once in my life. I remember it as sort of shit but also pretty average, I wouldn't hate living there but I definitely wouldn't love it either. Is this accurate? I feel like you're making it seem worse than it is. I'm from Acton, now that is (or was, because it's been getting regenerated) a shithole.
