Eighties pop legend Gary Numan is fleeing Sussex over fears of rampaging yobs.

The electro pop pioneer says his family do not feel safe in the leafy village of Waldron, near Uckfield, so he is moving them to the United States.

Father David Charles, the priest in charge of All Saints church in Waldron, said: “There’s only a couple of hundred residents and they are mostly retired. If there are any gangs roaming about I’ve certainly missed them.”

Why doesn't he just live in his car, where he can feel safest of all and lock all his doors. It's the only way to live
In cars.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I'm British but have lived and worked in NYC for several years and I can assure you that New York at least is one of the safest large cities in the world. Violent crime has plummeted here whilst it seems to be ever on the rise in London.

Well that is an interesting story. I must say I missed it but then again I never buy the Argus despite living in Sussex. I find that it is the most tedious newspaper ever.

Agree with you there. It's far safer now than it was, when they introduced the zero tolerance law it improved beyond recognition.

I lived in London for a while a few years ago and found it far more scary.

There's good and bad places everywhere though, but best of luck to him.
