Not really Peckham and Edmonton have a history of being poor areas and if anything are now threatened by big council masterplans and mass gentrification, as has occurred thrughout many parts of London.
There are poor areas in every city, however you expect much more diversity in a city like London with a population of 8.7 million, indeed the entire population of Sweden is by contrast only 9.6 million and Stockholm only has a population of around 800,000.
Well what could go wrong when you invite warring factions into your country and look the other way when they are still trying to kill each other plus you if you get in the way?
Typical liberals here, can't fight the message so it's demonize the messenger.
Sweden is lost.
All because of Rinkeby and some other crappy subareas? Is the US lost because of crime-ridden cities like New Orleans, Detroit, St. Louis, Baltimore, Oakland, Kansas City, Cincinnati and several others?

The messenger in this case has made a living selling a specific journalistic slant. This is relevant when it comes to evaluating the message.

I am sure T-310 would appreciate a foreign journalist traveling through rotten neighborhoods and describing them as the US way of life now.
OMG, Swedish police officers wear vests! SWEDEN IS LOST!
Meanwhile, US police departments are clamoring for army-surplus armored vehicles.
