United Kingdom knife crime growing to epidemic levels
On Wednesday, London police responded to separate stabbings within hours of each other, the victims, a young boy believed to be in his teens and a man, were sent to the hospital with life-threatening or serious stab wounds.
That makes two attacks this morning, five this week...and more than 39,000 in just six months.
Quietly, a brutal, deadly knife attack epidemic is overwhelming residents and police forces throughout the United Kingdom.
Of the five people stabbed this week, the youngest was 15-year-old Jay Hughes, who was attacked outside a chicken shop in broad daylight.
During the first six months of the year, police recorded 39,332 knife crime offenses -- a 12 percent increase over last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Other violent crimes, including murder and robbery, also increased by double-digit percentages.
Data also showed the number of homicides in which a knife or sharp instrument was used increased by 25 percent in the last year, ONS said.
There's little agreement about what's behind the surge in violent crime. Some point fingers at gangs and the sale of drugs; others blame recent mass migration -- with little or no vetting and few resources with which to care for the new populations -- that poured in from the Middle East, largely as a result of fighting in Syria; Yet another theory is that police resources are stretched due to a plummeting number of officers.
Embattled London Mayor Sadiq Khan warned Monday it could take a generation to solve London's violent crime problem.
Murder and grooming gangs. Hasn't mass immigration been wonderful for Britain. :001_rolleyes:
Bloody 'ell, the UK seems quite stabby as of late!
And just like OZ, you can't even pack a fucking Leatherman tool on yer belt there, so I guess the laws aren't working?
Or is it simply the police being told to ignore the

British police are told to look the other way with certain people.
I figured so...

Tourism contributes a lot to London's economy..
I wonder if soaring violent crimes have had a negative impact on tourism.

I'll say this... if I was to tour Europe, London sure as hell wouldn't be on the itinerary. If I wanted to see Pakistan or Sudan, I'd go to those countries instead...
Liverpool is still fairly white though... Would certainly go there, and maybe even have a dozen pints or so with Scouse.

I've done the touristy shit in London. I don't want to go there again.
I would definitely tip a few with Scouse if I was in Liverpool.
Hell, they have all surrendered

It aint good enoughfor me and I do not want to sit inside a mosque.
Exactly. Man, White people have literally turned into the dumbest race on the planet...
Quote from: "Chuck Bronson"
Do not get me started. My old lady is Chinese and she cannot believe how white people hate themselves. It is frickin nuts.
I can believe it. Chinese aren't taught to hate themselves like Whites (especially straight white males) are...
It's a turf war in London between the blacks and the muds that has driven up homicide levels
