Whats happening in the UK?????

Many murders go unreported every week in the UK, most domestic, but the media presently have a things for knives. Stats for murder are about the same year on year.

Couldn't give a hoot what they charge for 4x4's, I'll be getting a BIGGER one next Mr Brown .....I'll be using a little of the money I save by not paying 10% tax on betting.....the tax you cancelled

just like a typical scouser, looking after himself

I think the UK is a lot safer than the philippines, most police are still not armed, security guards are not armed, we dont have armed guards at banks, malls etc.

For rape, the rate in 2001 was 16.50 for United Kingdom, compared with 1.78 for Japan and 31.77 for USA. For robbery, the rate in 2001 was 182.69 for United Kingdom, 4.08 for Japan, and 148.50 for USA. For aggravated assault, the rate in 2001 was 30.07 for United Kingdom, 23.78 for Japan, and 318.55 for USA.

The rate for all index offenses combined was 5955.05 for United Kingdom, compared with 1709.88 for Japan and 4160.51 for USA. (Note that Japan data are for year 2000)

looking at these figures, the murder rate is near 5 times higher in the philippines than the UK, but the rape figure is near 4 times higher here ! , and the robbery rate is a lot higher here, maybe if shop owners had guns it be lower . I think maybe also people are encouraged to report crime here.

iam definatley sure the number of solved murders and serious crime rate is higher here than the philippines with the use of natonal databases and dna databases.

the only thing that me off is the inconsistancy of sentances, a dangerous driver might get community service , while another prison, some walk free , while others get prison. maybe its time, like in certain parts of the philippines we have a curfew for teenagers and can not gather in groups of more than 2. also try to educate the jobs and the hoddies.

stop worrying, you just make yourself ill and die of a heart attack becuase of the stress

oh and looking at the stats, i dont beleive them at all ! this place has gotta to be safer than the USA !
with stats if you put your head in the fridge and your feet in the oven , you be ok, but infact you would be half frozen and half burnt !
