Let's hope this positive news gets as much attention as the people who try to convince us that the UK is a murder ravaged hellscape.

This must be why Fartrage says Britain is broken. There are not enough murders for his taste; he would prefer to see at the very least 2 deaths per day, preferably of non-white people, but he is easy so long as they are not on his side.

That's great, Larry Darling. But what's happening in Scotland? Isn't it a part of the United Kingdom any more? 🐈 🇺🇦😀

Yes, but we call them murders. So this is aimed at the idiots in the US, I assume.

Includes murders, manslaughter convictions, and those for infanticide.

And 80% of those happen in a tiny little village called Midsomer.

The other 10% in Oxford, deeply troubling considering Morse is no more. And now Granchester, honestly the lies these absolute facts report🙄😂

Also down in 🇨🇦 and other places, but #Cons like to use fear tactics about "high crime rates," especially involving immigrants, to scare voters into supporting their cruel totalitarian actions and distract from their trickle-up financial policies.
Keep the people scared and they'll let you rob them.

There's a graph in the article and it does show the perils of comparing specific years. It's a rather badly presented graph, with no scaling lines, but it does show the big changes between adjacent years. And the upward trend in the 1970s was pretty clear, almost a textbook example. That stopped.

Ha, fat chance, Larry. The news is that the UK is a hellscape with millions of drivers ‘having been the victim of vehicle crime’ in the past year. Can you believe it!

I must be living in a an area forgotten by such crime - there was nada on the street’s WhatsApp group … well, a cat lost the collar

C'mon Larry, you know the rules... such reports always have to start with "In massive blow to Mahmood..."

They’ll just neglect to mention this. Their voters don’t pay any attention to anything outside of immigration/crime committed by brown people

Same is true of those "crime ravaged" cities in the USA. ICE committed 2/3 of the murders in Minneapolis is January. Wonder why they want them to leave? (Turning the lights on and off has not worked.)

And let's not forget how Trump thought Portland, OR was war-ravaged, only to find out he was watching 2020 George Floyd protest video. 🤦‍♀️

Sadly today's figures suggest the U.K. is a rape ravaged hellhole. We have got to sort out our useless criminal justice system and maybe get the police to catch more offenders than they employ.

Iit is, the police are too frightened to leave the station so hundreds of millions of dead corpses are being left to pile up.

Surprised you can't smell the rotting flesh

Well in the mind of Trump but then his brain rotted away years ago
