Waste of time hiding your heads in the sand and saying that the stats are made up.Infact i would say the stats are showing a lower percentage than we actually are.
Crime in this country is running amok and why ? Because when they are caught all they basically get is a slap on the wrist.Mass immigration is bringing crime with it and the kids today just run amok on the streets in little street posse`s

1) No-one claimed the stats were "made up".

What has been shown is that the stats as given are extremely misleading, and seem also to have been massaged in their presentation by the compilers, the Tories, to give a much worse picture than it really is.

2) You're not the only one who knows Britain.

3) Crime in Britain is nowhere near as bad overall as in South Africa (a specific comparison that that report misleadingly made). Nor is it as bad as in much of the Balkans, or Russia, or a whole lot of other places.

4) Mass immigration, so-called, is not responsible for the main body of crime in Britain. That's a cheap excuse and attack without merit.
