Party Vibe

Christmas here always makes me think of cops, crime and dead prostitutes and always will do.. and so it fucking well should IMO, for everyone in this town…

Its the only way the memory of those girls can be remembered and maybe something done to stop others going down that road, and to try and to stop young men turning into angry controlling old men what commit such heinous crimes..

I will always remember riding back from work in Winter 2006 and thinking “fucking hell, its like being on the set of a ITV crime drama..” a bobby on every street corner literally – Suffolk, Essex, Metpol, Merseyside (who lent 10 mobile CCTV units and still had loads left over to watch the scousers!)

incidentally there was virtually no crime in Winter 2006/07 in that part of Ipswich – no houses got burgled, no one got robbed or mugged…

the fact the crime dropped in ’07 just shows how fucking dysfunctional society can be and I feel people must always be reminded of it – if you really need that many cops for people not to want to attack each other or rob each others property thats a sign of a sick society… but ironically I find life in Ipswich is actually far better than anywhere else I have ever lived in my life.

Its shit what happened and particularly the way the young girls fell into the gutter and lost their lives, but the can of worms it opened up (as well as the fallout from a shooting at a local club what happned around that time) has actually blown open the reality of the darkside the drugs/sex/nighttime economy has and made people round here genuinely think a bit about their lifestyles..
