Menace to society…
I’ve already known that more than a few British cities and towns are heading downward to the lawless side, just like more than a few American cities and towns.
Only after I actually dug into the numbers did I realize just how bad things really are on the other side of the pond.
When it comes to violent crime stats overall, the British only count England and Wales (E&W) separate from the quasi-independent Scotland and Northern Ireland. According to the good folks at Statista.com, in 2022/2023, in E&W “the crime rate shot up to a peak of 93.5 (per 1,000) by 2022/23.”
In a different Statita.com report, violent crime in the United States in 2023, was at 374.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (which means 3.744 violent crimes per 1,000).
In the below video, Paul Joseph Watson notes, “In Manchester, their knife crime rate is six times higher than it was just a decade ago.”
Watson goes on to point out the obvious as to which demographic is widely responsible for said knife crime… nonetheless, the local coppers busted a 35-year-old theater manager Samuel Row. Sadly for young Sam, other than his basket of freshly harvested vegetables from his rented allotment, he also had on his person,,, wait for it… unregistered gardening tools.
I haven’t seen anything this stupid coming out of the United Kingdom since a Briton was arrested a handful of years ago for willfully brandishing a potato peeler in public (second video below).
