England is finished

Steed the BCS is not from the Police its independant and records crimes that were not reported tio the police.

From their website:

The BCS measures the amount of crime in England and Wales. This includes crimes which may not have been reported to the police, or recorded by them. It thus provides an important alternative to police recorded crime statistics. Without the BCS the government would have no information on these unreported crimes. The BCS also helps identify those most at risk of different types of crime. This is used in designing and informing crime prevention programmes. It is also used to assess people's attitudes to crime and towards the Criminal Justice System. It is one of the major sources of information about levels of crime, public attitudes to crime and other Home Office issues.

Thats the problem, knife crime is never out of the news, the media's obssession with crime is fueling yet another public panic about crime.

Its interesting that crime has been falling since 1995 when it peaked, two years before Labour came to power.

I'm not panicking, I just want to see some real results and not this half ass rubbish put out by the Home Office.

Back to the story of the two officers, this goes and shows you what has gone wrong with this country. We have the most useless and weak politicians I have ever seen to date, there all a bloody disgrace to my country. In the name of true democracy its time to stop farting around and wake up to restore what we have lost. Faith in true democracy and law & order.

Its time to mend broken Britain and grasp the nettle even if it makes are hand bleed.

Theres no such thing as 'broken Britain'. The country has problems certainly, but when has it not? Things have been worse in the past; unemployment has been higher, the economy has been in worse shape, Crime has been higher.

If there is anything wrong in the country, then its the increasing economic gap between the rich and the poor, but I don't see much in the media about that?

Walk on by sociality, blinkered.


Excuse me I have to attend to a legal matter in court.

@ Steed You are too predictable. I saw this story in The Times this morning and thought about posting it here. Then I thought to myself that good old Steed has probably already done so. Now I pop over to Subsim GT forum and sure enough you have.

Every time Steed sees some tragic news he jumps with glee at the chance to post
yet another 'England's going to hell in a handcart' post and rave with moral indignation.

Probably right about that one, but it may be that they are converting to Islam, they like that dopey stuff.
