Why is crime so high in England?

Does immigration have anything to do with the high crime rate in the UK?

Where are you coming from? The wasps nest, or the stick thats about to belt it?

Yes, because of our island mentality many immigrants have fled persecution only to become victims of crime here. Still the crime rate despite your seeming one man crusade to suggest otherwise is not High. Neither were the 1980's so different from today, rather than a Utopian vision of La La land where people in bowler hats took high tea and Said "what,what, I say old boy" a lot, there were race riots, football violence and the odd serial killer, much like any other western country.

Just looking for answers that's all.

Immigration is not to blame for the high crime rate, human nature is and what society classifies what is a crime.

That is it for me on this topic. Lets just say we are diametrically opposed on this issue because I'm not going to get in some forum war with a guy I could probably shoot the shit with over a beer on the same topic w/o incident.

The point I was trying to make is that you can't say that the Second Amendment ONLY applies to the way things were in the 18th Century without that being the case for the other Amendments. And yes I would be much more friendly in person, I'd split a pitcher of Moosehead or Molsen or whatever canuck beer you fancy with you anytime.

It is a daft notion to think that the UK doesn't have serious crime issues. You can even be a native Englishman and come back for a holiday and drive in a friends car to a garage for a fill up and have several lunatics invite you for a fight on the other side of the road. That simply isn't normal behaviour beyond England. It isn't all about crime as that is only what gets put in the books. The UK is a horribly primitive and savage place and a prime example of how modern capitalism doesn't work. These kids causing problems should have had parents looking after them and instead they either have both parents working or else have a slag Mum who kicked them out because they were annoying and no Dad. Either way, the result is a weirdo hanging out on walls outside a petrol station asking strangers for a fight. That is real, that exists out there.

It has nothing to do with guns though. Guns would simply increase the possibility of me being killed by odd children who hang outside petrol stations.

That is the only cogent and convincing argument for allowing citizens to have guns in England I have ever heard. Bring it on. The sooner the better.
