Crime crosses your neat little race categories. Relax pops, I mearly said increased immigration has had an adverse effect on crime.

More arrogant nonsense and misinformation from you, your posting history is an open window into your bigotry.

 

How many of the offenders in your post are not UK citizens?

As a supporter of "freedom of speech" you should have no objection to people calling you a racist.

Except that the word racist is used to shut people up, as are words like Islamophobe and transphobe. The object is their use is rob one of the right to free speech - or "hate speech", to use another shut-up device widely employed by politicians, the police, militant minority groups and fascists masquerading in a multitude of guises.

From my link; numbers arrested for violent crime...

 

 

. . .and numbers for convictions, too. But many violent criminals are not caught and there are no figures, so far as I can ascertain, relating to numbers of the ethnicity of these individuals. Pity.

UK has gone down the pan big time especially for a working guy .  I would loathe the reality of having a young family in UK suburbia where the future of a safe and decent life is in jeopardy because of the lack of care by the UK government for its own established citizens .  There are no go areas in many UK towns where even the police only venture in groups . Time to get the duck out of fodge I think  but to where  is another matter if there is such a place .   

 The majority of violence seen on the UK streets is imported from alien cultures who do not give a toss about their new countries laws and ways but seek to impose their own visions of how the UK will be in the near future . The problem as we all know is throughout Europe as is told to me by other European friends who stay in Thailand .

Not that I am a supporter but I was told yesterday of Tommy Robinson who was denied to speak by the police in Hyde Park recently for possible incitement .http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/03/15/police-speakers-corner-free-speech/

Its all simmering and will boil over at some stage as the far right sides in politics begin to gain popularity .

Rabbit on as much as you wish, but there has to be a baseline of facts. The data pointed to the largest ethnic group arrested for violent crime i.e. 'blacks'. It would be logical to then progress to say the largest group ethnic group for violent crime is....'blacks'.

 

Please don't bother to respond if you all you've got is assumption.

Not assuming anything, nor disputing the useful official stats you posted. Just pointing out its limitations.

Perhaps the real cause isn't immigration, but the increasing concentration of wealth that deprives the masses of a path to the middle class?  That "garbage" you refer to used to have a path out- real or mirage.  Today, a lot more of them realize they don't.

 

Of course, immigration of low cost labor is part of that scenario, but blaming it on the huddled masses is exactly what the real perpetrators want.   Blame it on the 1% who want to perpetuate that flow of low wage labor.  Cha Ching!

 

 

There needs to be some sort of path to improve ones standing or else all is left to ruin.

Not a surprise this really. It's been going downhill for a long time now and it's only going to get worse, especially in the cities. With immigration out-of-control and so many getting in who shouldn't, the disintegration of society's values coupled with the indifference of the "me" culture and a weak/absent law & enforcement service, it is slowly becoming a modern day dystopia in many places. I recently visited the UK and the only places that seem not to be screwed are the areas outside the cities that are too expensive for the garbage to move out to.

And that is simply an economic eventuality.      The concentration of wealth is forever increasing and there's little chance of that changing.

And how about the "bone idle"  who seem to ignore the  fact  those  who made something of themselves spent many hours working like a dog to do it............it didnt come easy.

I'd  say the bone idle are becoming  a big  problem worldwide, theyve got too much time to sit around.

I consider myself fortunate that I was born to parents, and in a country and a time when that hard work was a path to making something better.  Sure, it was work, and hard work.  But had I been born into a different country, or to different parents, or into a different time in history, even that may have been futile.  I was blessed, through no credit to myself.

 

I don't envy kids born today who look at shrinking wages, jobs going offshore and thousands of workers being sacrificed for executive bonuses.  Unless, of course, they're born into the right side of it.

Maybe the time has come to start drafting these people and putting them to work on public works projects. Teach them the meaning of work and discipline.

If you apply yourself and work hard, you can still make something of yourself.

I couldn't say.  It's not a term that I use.

As a kid l got caught for excessive noise on my scooter...I had to go to court and stand in the dock....

Now, folk get fined on the spot by a cop...And that includes class C drugs for a first offense...Folk now laugh at minor naughty stuff and the law..

I'm guessing the intention was "born idle" but I hate to assume.   And it was quoted a few times w/o a sic.

 

Is there still such a thing as spell checking or Grammarly available to posters?   Grammarly would have definitely helped if it was in error.

 

Bone idle is a common term.  Like "bone tired" is a common term, meaning beyond a normal tired state.

From the OP: "So far in 2018, 46 people in London have been fatally stabbed, shot or injured compared to 50 in the US city."

 

That's nearly one every second day.
