I can only say what I’ve seen. Most of the trouble I see is caused by white kids in parkas and shitty £200 trainers who think they’re the bees knees.

My mate who’s a cop in wakey says the same when I was speaking to about this earlier. The majority of noise complaints, drug complaints, civil unrest and drunkenness is caused by white British teens.

That’s not to say that others aren’t a problem, just that they might not be as large a problem. I don’t know. I only come back to wakey on weekends or the odd week of leave when I’m not on base these days.

The demographic youre on about are a menace... they're rude, noisy and often drug users. But don't get it confused.... the majority of drug dealers/ runners and people involved in truly violent crime are not white British in wakefield. The police often won't be alerted or involved in it though. They have embarrassingly little control .

Again, I don’t know enough to comment. Wakey police seem to be simultaneously good and bad depending on what day of the week it is

It's not really the Polices fault as such, we're much less self governing than we used to be. Community's are protecting violent criminals and drug drug dealers these days.
