Therein lies the problem numpty ... "you understand"
With an arrogance borne of education, knowledge and many years experience, I can tell you that the UK is in fact not going broke. You will of course be sensitive to this issue given that Dubai, as a quasi state, did in fact go broke, that is to say it (the Government) was unable to service or repay its borrowings.
Debate over whether the UK Police are effective and offer a balanced service versus the public funding required to keep the numbers that the Police Federation say are needed on the street versus what the bureaucrats say that they can afford is an onging issue, from the late 1970's and is unlikely to be resolved any day soon.
What I will say about the UK Police is that they are governed by very strict guidelines PACE etc which permits no examples of "Yani, my brother, is Major in Bur Dubai ..." and it is this even application of the law that sets them apart from your bunch of foreign security guards.
Gangs on the streets ... you mean like "
Gangs of New York" or "
The Warriors" ?
You need to get out a bit more, I have read about and even seen minor skirmishes on the street at pub closing times, but gang warfare
only on your PC game and in your dreams.
If or when you next come to the UK, PLEASE pm me and I will take you round LOOKING for these gangs and feral teens slaughtering innocent victims, if for no other reason I would be quite keen to document and report on this as much as you would.
Perhaps we could do this during next Ramadan, I know where I can find a lot of lager louts in flash cars then !!
