It's an idyllic place apart from a small number of the usual scum British underclass who it seems are in every town and village now. I witnessed on three different occasions local teens being aggressive and menacing to exchange students in the high street. Presumably the youths who were arrested were released on bail. I never saw a police officer once. The flowers left at the spot where he was beaten are still there (just yards from the high street). I haven't seen any updates on his condition for a few days. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw a police officer actually on the beat yesterday, first time in a year. When I was in Canterbury I found it to be a melting pot. It seems the middle classes have moved out the city and live in the neighbouring villages. The students seemed to have upper class accents - not sure if they still do these days.
Jo	German student attacked in Canterbury Daniel Ezzedine 'improving' in hospital - as police confirm River Stour search The suspects have been released on bail, which seems incredible.

That doesn't sound good. I have only been to Canterbury once, in 1994, and remember it being very picturesque and feeling safe with no behaviour of that kind. I had the rather weird experience of visiting a small art gallery in the basement of an old building (a basement with alcoves) and entering one alcove to find two men sitting on a bench dressed in Medieval costume discussing last night's football results.

Police don't have the resources to investigate even burglaries these days and they seem to know they won't really do anything. People are starting to avoid areas like parks as they gather in these areas in the evenings. It's probably only a matter of time before we will get vigilante groups appearing. They have the resources but the police need to bow down to political correctness and monitor Twitter.
JK2006	And today the Mail, the Sun, Mirror and others pick up on this as a direct result of your posting here. Amazing - I'm thinking of renaming KingOfHits as Reuters. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7137213...t-fighting-life.html
