In what reads like both a love letter and a warning to all in the UK, an anonymous author writes about the once peaceful and picturesque coastal resort town of Bournemouth in Dorset, England.Recalling fond memories of visiting Bournemouth with his/her family, the author notes that the town has undergone a significant decline due to escalating violence and crime.Crime statistics show a significant increase in violent, sexual and public order offences in Bournemouth, with a 276% increase in rape cases between 2014 and 2025, making the town a borderline no-go zone, especially for women.These crimes are being committed by foreigners, some of whom live in London and travel to Bournemouth to find their victims. But others have been shipped there to be settled as asylum seekers at a significant cost to taxpayers.The town’s physical environment has deteriorated, with iconic buildings like the Royal Bath Hotel and Beales department store falling into disrepair or being repurposed for asylum seeker accommodation.The British government spends an estimated £87,000 daily on housing asylum seekers in the Bournemouth area, while local families struggle with rising taxes and stagnant wages, leading to growing hostility and unrest among the community.The author believes that Bournemouth’s problems, which are a microcosm of the country’s issues, can be solved with relative ease, but it requires attention and action to prevent the town’s further decline.
