People in my home county Lincolnshire are very. upset at the influx of Eastern Europeans, and the lawlessness they have bought to towns like Boston.

as keith says - its very easy if you live faraway from a problem to get sniffy and dismiss what other people are going through.

i suppose i am a comfortable lefty these days. boston was an insular sort of town - maybe the awakening was long overdue. but i think its been a rough passage for boston people.

i stood on boston green. an old school friend, who nowadays runs a quid shop was standing next to me.. Somme Eastern european looters ran out of his shop with things they'd nicked. i sad - why don't you call the police?

no point Al, he said. nothing to be done there.

my old man was a cop in boston. god knows what he would have made of it.
