The two issues could be linked, we need our government to get to the bottom of the problems we are facing in our society.
Its Off Topic and emotions are running high in the country, we have had poor bairns murdered, police officers brutally attacked and riots on the streets by mainly non British backgrounds. Its disgraceful whats being allowed to happen and a lot of people are unhappy about it all, Ireland in particular are starting to see various towns and cities refuse to allow it to happen, it can quickly escalate to mainland Britain if the government dont act quickly. Just because you dont like what you are reading doesnt mean it isnt happening, its very much happening and unless something is done we will continue to see people murdered on the streets. Knife crime in London is through the roof and spreading around the country, if like me you have kids of a certain age its unsettling seeing large congregations of mainly young black immigrant men gathering around popular areas that kids frequent, its been ignored for far too long.
Far from happy, thats a strange word to use for somebody thats worried about the future of their kids growing up in this country with the way its changing. You keep burying your head in the sand if that makes you happy.
Facebook?......Scaremongering? Where the hell has that remark come from?......you see, comments like your's provoke arguments, instead of a fair debate. My comments are from real life experiences from current times. Yes, this topic morphed from the stabbing of 6 year old bairns to other current issues involving Illegal Imigrants, however, use your head marra, this kind of thing happens all over the world, and everyone reacts exactly the same way about those who choose to not to respect the laws of the country they have just illegally invaded....or moved to. Surly to God you must see the common denominator here mate... We are simply showing our disgust and fears against those who are violating UK Law... I am at a loss at your comments...
Knife crime in the last reporting year was 7% lower than five years ago. It’s always had peaks and troughs but is roughly the same as it was 15 years ago taking populations in to account and arguably lower given per head of capita. It’s definitely a concern especially in certain areas where it has increased in incidence but it’s not really true to say it’s spreading like wildfire.
The topic didn’t morph, it was steered away from the tragedy. Mods even asked for that not to happen a few posts back. The problem isn’t the debate, but it is where you are having it. Start a new thread. This one started with the horrendous news but somehow now has you posting about totally unrelated stuff in Redcar, why? Just feels disrespectful to the victims for blokes to be whinging about life in Redcar when poor kids have been murdered. Many will agree with your sentiments but there is a time and place for it and this doesn’t seem to be the thread for it.
It’s similar to comments that are made in various forums that aren’t always accurate and where the motivation is hatred. That’s not to say it’s not your experience and if it is then it’s bound to concern you. It’s certainly not my experience though and I’ve never seen that sort of behaviour from anyone really, certainly not since the 80’s and riots of that time. I live in a pretty multicultural place and witness lots of positive interactions and integration much more than the behaviour you describe. Your experience just doesn’t tally with mine.
However, 13% of Londoners are non white, but are responsible for 61% knife murders, is this cyclical as well?
One thing I do find bizarre is that a 17 year old can’t be named. The c*nt has murdered at least 3 children. It won’t be long before a police/prison officer lets slip who it is anyway.
It may have peaks and troughs but as I mentioned there are areas where it is of particular concern. 57% of victims are non white too so it’s clearly an issue that should be of concern to everyone regardless of culture or ethnicity, this is all of ours society. It does seem largely related to gang culture in London. The highest per capita knife crime area is actually the West Midlands but where focus has been concentrated on reducing crimes it’s actually reduced substantially. In Coventry for example there was a 42% drop in youth knife crime which accounts for most knife crime overall.
Unfortunately you don’t need statistics to state the obvious with knife crime any more though mate. I remember the year that actress from one of the soaps brothers got murdered in London they really plastered it all over that there needs to be a change and the victims/murderers were all over the news for weeks. They were pretty much all non white. It’s not a coincidence and just because it’s gang members targeting other gang members most of the time it doesn’t make it right. Innocent people get caught up. I just can’t fathom when people say well Myra Hindley wasn’t black and look at what she done etc. There’s about 55,000,000 white people in this country of course there’s going be ****ing crimes committed by white people
Great to hear, if you identify the issue and tackle it, you can reduce it. We need a country wide moral reset led by the government. As LBW and BackO'TheNet have outlined with their real life experiences from current times, we need to raise these issues where they happen, with the local MPs.
Starmer faced a load of abuse today whilst paying his respects in Southport. I think this is how most of us are feeling right now with the way our country is being run... https://youtube.com/shorts/dm73_I3qowE?si=UIYsBNQAY_6Ir079
Neanderthals are out in Southport attacking a mosque there and the police. Using a tragedy for mindless violence.
Really sad this. Can’t believe how awful it must have been. It’s time we put the right services in place for those who need it so this **** stops happening. No help at the right time means more suffering, more victims. Clearly someone mentally ill, no investment in services for teenagers and now we have more suffering and trauma. Breaks my heart this. We simply must sort it out and make the streets safer.
