Why is crime so high in England?

[mrbig1]

One of my American friends got off the train in London. A 3 guys jumped high and stole his laptop. He said crime was really high there. I was there in 1982 and had no problems at all. It seemed like a really nice place. What happen?

Crime is against the law in England.... situations like you described shouldn't happen

cos we are weak as fuck when it comes to dealing with it

...but it's illegal! It's against the law!!! Make the criminals behave




Actually crime is so high in England because Piers "The Enforcer" Morgan is too busy trying to pry guns out of American households rather than use his super powers of Doucheiness to rid England of crime

No jobs no hope and no money, we are bombarded adds for the fine things in life, phones, cars ,
clothes, etc with that little badge everybody want's.!
People today expect so much in life, and some people will steamroll others to get it, very sad fact the
amount of strutting fucking drug dealers local pisses me off.
They have never worked in there lives, riding round in there Range Rover Sports it's a fucking disgrace,
the one thing is most of the general public, are descent and hard working.
Remember we don't have the monopoly on bad bastards, all country's round the World have them you
can get rolled in London or Lisbon.

Of course Dia, assholes live everywhere...though it'd be nice to have them quarantined in one geographic area.

A main theory of mine is people aren't ashamed of leeching off the government anymore. Welfare used to come with a stigma, now it feeds this idea of entitlement.....that wasn't around when people had to bring in crops to feed their families. People who thought that way were supposed to be too stupid & too lazy to live, I blame the human race for outsmarting Natural Selection

I doubt that crime is high in the UK, certainly not any higher then what we have in the States, this kid who posted the OP is a fucking nitwit.

Stats are pliable but I've seen reports where the UK's violent crime per capita exceeds ours.

Watch out if I had a gun.

"...the Home Office dismissed the statistics as "absolute nonsense", saying that the average American is seven times more likely to be murdered than their British counterpart and 60 times more likely to be shot"

BBC News | UK | UK crime worse, says US report.

Didn't take long...

According to the 2nd amendment people in the USA, it's because you guys took away all the handguns.

Round were I live, I would hate people having gun's they are nasty enough without gun, Friday and
Saturday nights there would be more dead body's than soft Mick.
