Im pretty sure easterhouse in Glasgow was classed as the poorest housing scheme in europe a while back. I actually lived down the road from there for a few years in a place called haghill, crazy bastards everywhere but compared to what I seen in the US its nothing. i lived in Phoenix Denver and South dakota over the course of a year, just under. I seen rural poverty I seen urban poverty, didnt really see much urban poverty in Phoenix but I was assured it was there. The ghetto I seen in Denver looked pretty grim, worse than the east end of Glasgow thats for sure but the rural poverty I seen was just like a third world country could have been anywhere in asia. You get the giro in Britain you dont get that in the US!

Toxteth Liverpool http://goo.gl/maps/iR8D The USA ones might be more violent but at least you are not all jammed in together like in UK. The UK ones are generally all in old victorian era housing. The miserable climate doesn't help either.

Glasgow has 'more gangs than London'
GLASGOW has 170 teenage gangs - more than London despite a population one-sixth the size, says a report. It also warned the city's economic regeneration was being blighted by "appalling" levels of social deprivation. http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/glasgo...ondon-1.955587

(Reuters) - The government of Rio de Janeiro is building concrete walls to prevent sprawling slums from spreading farther into the picturesque hills of this world-famous tourist destination, an official said on Saturday. Construction has begun in two favelas, or shantytowns, in the southern districts of Rio de Janeiro, a government spokeswoman told Reuters. One of the two is Morro Dona Marta, which police occupied in November to control crime and violence caused mostly by rival drug gangs. Officials say the wall is to protect the remaining native forest but critics fear the move could be seen as discriminatory and become a blemish symbolizing Brazil's deep divisions between rich and poor.[/i] |

Obama’s Slumdog Brother: Hopeless Drunk Who Drinks Changaa To Coma
Called 2016, and directed by the production team behind Schindler’s List, the film sets out the supposed horrors of another four years of Obama in office — ![]() "As a tall, strangely familiar figure leaves his one-room shack in a notorious African slum this week, a few people jokingly call out to him: ‘Mister President! Mister President!’ Heading for breakfast through his junk-strewn yard, stepping over streams of sewage, the appearance of this slim, angular man prompts giggles and pointing from children in rags playing in the muck. The man’s name is George Hussein Obama and his half-brother is Barack Hussein Obama, Kenya’s most famous son, the first black President of the U.S. and the most powerful man in the world..." "Kenya's most famous son." http://redpepper.co.ug/welcome/?p=42119
