Bristol is a large sprawling city and some areas are not nice, really rough. It also has a massive undercurrent and can blow at any time. Over the years there have been riots and major outbreaks of violence. Its not the city some paint it as. |  | |  |

I agree but the prevalence of knives is truly worrying ,the first weapon of choice for too many now but when you see a sentence of 8 months dished out despite witness statements and police interaction no wonder so many take a chance on carrying one.

Mass immigration, add to that a slimy labour mayor called Marvin Rees, who is in the same mould as Sadiq Khan.
Then take a look at the stabbing statistics of most of our major cities, and you may notice many similarities. |  |

Arrogant Welsh hating Kent’s and many sink estates for the rats .
It doesn’t have a crap house image though. They’ve marketed it well | |

My mother spent the best part of five years living and running pubs up there and the people were great. Quite a few of them used to come down to visit her here.
I'm up there regularly visiting a friend from Cwmbran who has lived all over the city and no problems there either. Certainly no "Welsh hating" that I've ever witnessed.
It's got its nice areas, it's got its grotty areas. Same as everywhere else. |  |

My sister travelled there for work for 6 months ( a few years back) and she said she never felt safe leaving work to wak to her car. Mind you, it was only a short walk to St Pauls. | | | |

I have never met a populace so arrogant
One can only speak as one finds
Bristolians not hating the living daylights out of the Welsh .,.?

Have you considered the possibility that it was just you they didn't like? | |

Bottom line is multicultural Bristol has significant problems the equal of the northern cities with the negative social stigma narrative | |

Never once met a Bristolian who hates the Welsh. And I lived there and then close by. Football,yes, but that’s football. |  |

Exactly this.
I found them very much like Swansea Folk in the main. Decent, hard working, and contemptuous of Cardiffians. | |

Eh? I thought it was quite clear. Could you add clarification to the part of your post that I highlighted. I didn't understand the point you were trying to make. Cheers. | |

So are you saying that all of Wales should be judged based on how much people despise Cardiff?
Based upon responses to this thread, people in Bristol have no issues with Welsh people in general. Just those from Cardiff and you. [Post edited 16 Feb 22:48]

Been to a few shows in the Old Colston Hall , sore point I appreciate for Bristolians , always felt safe for a post gig bevvie in their locals haunts , no issues when I visited there .
Now avoid Swansea City Centre at all costs , necessary trips only , areas are now filled with zombies and e bikes , awful sight for a once great Town .
My alternative is Neath as a go to shop , again some difficult characters to come across .
Bought some White goods in Morfa yesterday , microwave , free parking added to the ease of the shopping experience , in/out in minutes , job done .
Like to think I can handle myself if an issue occured , but my body could not take a blade . | | | |

My original post was meant to highlight the fact that imo knife crime appears to be spreading its tentacles closer to home , what appeared to be an epidemic is becoming more common out in the provinces | |

Not all knife crime, but Bristol does seem to be going through an awful period. Now we have a report of 3 more child killings. [Post edited 19 Feb 22:46]
