UK is violent crime capital of Europe

The United Kingdom is the violent crime capital of Europe and has one of the highest rates of violence in the world, worse even than America, according to new research.

Analysis of figures from the European Commission showed a 77 per cent increase in murders, robberies, assaults and sexual offences in the UK since Labour came to power.
The total number of violent offences recorded compared to population is higher than any other country in Europe, as well as America, Canada, Australia and South Africa.

Yet according to the Leftie posters on UK sites, I'm talking rubbish when I say this. Evidently since the blessing of multiculturalism the streets are much safer than they were when I was a kid growing up in London.

 Quoting: Janey


The figures are Janey, but I imagine that's because most people don't even bother to report a lot of crimes any more. Also, wasn't there some scandal last year about the police messing with the figures and not reporting some crimes. I can't remember it now, but call me cynical I bet that's more like the truth than 'official statistics'.+

Id imagine this is petty crime. I haven't seen anyone effected by crime who I know..

And I've not been either.

In 1995 a think tank warned before Labour came to power that UK will follow America crimes rate.

Now look at us... Who the daddy.

Most crime in the US is caused by two or three things:
(1) One "minority"
(2) Drugs
(3) Increasingly illegal aliens


Do any of those categories fit in the UK?

Long live secular values. With people like Nick Clegg no wonder UK is falling.

The figures aren't as black and white as you would like. There have been some major drops in violent crime in many parts of the UK if you'd bothered to find the stats yourself. The problem is that certain cities or towns are skewing the overall figures due to major increases in reported crimes in those areas. The other problem is that most of these reports don't take into account the results of investigations and prosecutions which are a lot lower. It's all very well citing the so called word of a liberalist lefty agenda newspaper, it's another when you actually check the real facts.

Now go away and waste your vote on Labour like you did last time.
