Re: OT: Murder Rate

The next to nothing figure is 300 in 62. With a much smaller population than today.

Good to see you Tories using the Bojo method of counting.

How many population then and now?

How many murders then and now?

No-one's done any counting so far, except for you (with your "300" murders in 1962).

You haven't counted population either. You simply asserted "much smaller population".

Corse not, but it does indicate that its not something that there is a nice easy solution for like a return of the death penalty.

More fool you. In fact it was about half the recent minimum in 2013

That isn't what happened with Ava White and Star Hobson.

Its very far from clear that that is true. It could also have been due to the big increase in murders due to drug gang turf wars.

Even sillier.

We'd all prefer a stability around a much smaller annual number, surely?

Or would we?

"Next to nothing" is a turn of phrase.

Others on your side of this have already accepted that there has been a large increase.

Thank you for yet another cretinous remark, antipodean retard.

Not surprising that you are one of the lying bastards I referred to above, Dave. You inflate past figures (which you pulled out of your arse) to make current figures appear less damning. I know your little game.

Wota stunning line in rational argument you have there.

Quoted from official UK figures, pet. Actual figure was 299 - but since I know you'd be reading this I rounded it up as you'd do for a 5 year old.

In 1962 the UK population was 53.1m 2021. 68.2.

Ask a grown up to calulate the numbers per capita for you.

Quite. I'd guess Doom is an anti lock down type, being the typical arch right winger. 'Some may die, but it's a risk I'm willing to take' Then gets all upset about murder rates. With the UK being pretty average for murders against similar countries.

You might also wonder why it concerns him - since he fled GB to avoid paying taxes. Just another foreigner wanting to interfere in UK domestic affairs. With his typical ghoulish wish to bring back the death penalty.

Okay, Dave. Have it your way. You're obviously happy to live in a 3rd world s*it-hole with a sky-high murder rate as evidenced by you choosing London for a home. How's the Covid rate in the capital at the moment, by the way? Not that that would bother you, a committed Cosmopolitan, since the prospect of getting stabbed for no reason by a complete stranger is something you take in your stride every day. Have a nice life!

No one with any sense would bother to marshal a rational argument against a notorious troll, mate. What a complete waste of time that would be with an incorrigible moron like you.

You still haven't said which paradise you reside in, unless I missed that post.

Ah - right. No apology for

'You inflate past figures (which you pulled out of your arse) to make current figures appear less damning. I know your little game.'

then? What a surprise.

And now you've moved on to Covid. Are following the advice of your hero Farage and haven't been vaccinated?

It's very sad the numbers of knife crimes in London (and elsewhere). But like in so many other cities, largely 'gang (in the loosest meaning) related.

And only total fools would think the death penalty for murder would reduce these by a significant amount. But if would certainly satisfy the drooling gammons like Doom.

Yes you did, Isle of Man.

Oh well. Wonder where he will scuttle off to next when the IoM gets more diverse?

Its unlikely anywhere else is silly enough to let him go there.

Guess Spain might if he has enough money but he is a rabid brexiteer and will no doubt be getting lots of health problem and clearly has very high blood pressure, so likely that’s out too.

With any luck he will burst a blood vessel or something.
