Reply to comment by celj1234 in Assault outside Black Cat after Surf Curse concert by sonicmonkeys

I know of a couple of people who walked away from fights, only to die a couple of days later from injuries to the brain that they suffered during the fight. I could name 3 fairly close to me and a couple of others that I’ve known and lost touch with only to find out about it later. London is a shithole.

He wasn't in a fight but Bob Saget died that way after hitting his head on something.

Only saw one public fight in London and it was in the City of London mid-day with a bunch of rich dudes in suits.

Damn, I was about to ask where you're from to know that many people that ended up like that. London is on my places to visit and I was somewhat aware that it can be seedy, but that's next level.

I’m 47, so it’s over a 30 year period. And I’ve played lots of different team sports over the years and have had lots of different jobs, I’ve also slowly moved further, and further outwards from inner London areas, so have met many, many people. I also have a very big family with lots of cousins living all around London. So it’s probably not as bad as it sounds.
