Just heard breaking news on LBC. Doesn't sound good.

Each and every day, Bournemouth sinks lower into the gutter.

Not uncommon in many towns & cities across the country daily. Not sure its newsworthy

I expect it's another county lines incident, the daily mail paints a better picture of it along with suspects

Personally I think the easiest thing the police can do with this infestation is rent a massive venue and just let them all kill each other.

Born there and disliked the people all through my youth, some of the surrounding areas are stunning but spoilt by the people, returned there during covid and it was lovely again as it was empty of the people.

Those people did fuel the lives we have now though, so not all bad smile

We were amazed at how ‘boscombe’ Bournemouth is now, truly horrible to see how much worse it is than 20 years ago and wasn’t brilliant then.

All went downhill after slowing down Westover road hehe

The fact you think stabbings are not newsworthy is worrying.

Knife crime stats sit at something like 50,000 per year. Thats well around a thousand per week. Individual cases are not newsworthy. Now this individual case involves a number of victims which may may it less normal. The point however remains

The sheer volume of stabbings & violent crime is most certainly newsworthy.

Which ‘people’ are you talking about?

I would assume the people that live there. Non descriptive or suggestive? Why, what are you hoping he meant and can therefore jump onto?

But if we treat every individual case as not newsworthy does not the bigger picture become less newsworthy, if it becomes the norm.

I lived less than a mile from this incident between 1990 and 1996, and worked on Christchurch Road opposite the College. Bournemouth, and Boscombe in particular, was a bit edgy back then but basically OK and a nice enough place to live. Last year I went down to attend a gig with an old friend who lives and works in the town, as a scene of crime officer for Dorset police. The scenes I was greeted with when I parked up near my old flat and walked to Boscombe Academy, involving several police cars, people shouting and throwing stones at the police, a fire engine in attendance and people laying face down on the roads with their wrists cuffed, wasn't something I saw back in the 1990s.

My friend described this as "a pretty typical evening" in that area. Some of the stuff he has to deal with is pretty grim. Mainly drug and knife related. To say the town has gone downhill is a fair summation.

I think what you are all realising is that bournemouth used to be a town that wasn't populated with certain nationalities.

Bournemouth is now becoming on level terms with most other seaside destinations.

I live 20 minutes from the place and will only go when there are zero possible tourists or day trippers down there.

The last time i went down for an afternoon I saw 10 horse and carts with rather greasy haired looking owner's being told to politely move on by council workers, horrendous.

Go to Southbourne or sandbanks end and its rather different.

Has it gone downhill due to the “immigrants” that are put up in the hotels on the road this incident happened?
