    Are The Guardian and the BBC too RW for you? ;-)

    "The number of violent crimes and sex offences recorded by police in England and Wales has risen sharply over the past year, figures suggest.
    Knife crime and robbery also increased in the 12 months to September 2017 compared with the previous year, the Office for National Statistics said.

    About 5.3 million crimes were recorded in all in that 12-month period, up 14%."

    BBC, Crime statistics: Violent crime and sex offences rising, police figures suggest, 25 January 2018.

    Yes, 2001 is practically last century as it refers to data from 2000. Now back to this
    No London shooting deaths in six months as police say gun trade stifled.

    It is illegal to carry a knife in the UK, yet stabbings keep setting new records.

    How can that happen when knives are banned?

    BBC, Knife crime: Fatal stabbings at highest level since records began in 1946, 7 February 2019.
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-47156957

    Such a puzzle. ;-)

    LOL! IOW, you were wrong. ;-)

    1. Was 2018 "practically last century"?
    2. Why did all violent crime, including gun crime, soar after the Dunblane gun ban was imposed?

    So, did horrific crime problem in the UK disappear in 2022?
    Is Boris Johnson a miracle man? ;-)

    "England and Wales have the highest crime rate among the world's leading economies, according to a new report by the United Nations.
    The survey, which is likely to prove embarrassing to David Blunkett, the Home Secretary. shows that people are more likely to be mugged, burgled, robbed or assaulted here than in America, Germany, Russia, South Africa or any other of the world's 20 largest nations."
    The Daily Telegraph, England has worst crime rate in world, By David Bamber, 12/1/2002.

    London's murder rate passed NYC for the first time in 2018.
    So, "practically last century" -- right? ;-)

    “LONDON -- A surge of stabbings in London was blamed Monday for the city overtaking New York's monthly murder tally for the first time in modern history. Fifteen people were murdered in London during February, compared to 14 in New York, according to police figures.

    The British capital also suffered 22 fatal stabbings and shootings in March, higher than the 21 in New York. There have been 10 fatal stabbings in London in the last 19 days, following on from the 80 fatal stabbings recorded in the city last year.”
    CBS NEWS, WORLD, London's murder rate surpasses New York's for 1st time ever, APRIL 3, 2018 / 10:36 AM / CBS/AFP.

    Another of your links that have been debunked countless times! A year is 12 months not 3 months!
    London murder numbers 2018 was "As of 31 December 2018, there have been 132 homicides reported in London in 2018"
    New York murder numbers "The New York Police Department recorded 289 murders in 2018"

    Do you enjoy embarrassing yourself all the time? And why are you comparing England's most violent city with America's least violent city and think that is a valid comparison and still losing outright!

    I prefer debating the issues with grownups who actually have skmething to contribute to the conversation. You're a complete waste of time.

    Did I not state that clearly?

    There are far fewer people in the UK, and fewer still who have guns. The entire culture around guns is vastly different. The attitudes of the people regarding guns are vastly different. There really is no way to fairly compare gun laws and crime statistics between the UK and the U.S.

    If you know otherwise, please share.
