The trouble with Morrissey is that not only is he racist the man is a liar.

In an interview with American music magazine Spin published on his new site Morrissey Central, the singer said: “London is second only to Bangladesh for acid attacks.

“All of the attacks are non-white, and so they cannot be truthfully addressed by the British Government or the Met Police or the BBC because of political correctness.

“What this means is that the perpetrator is considered to be as much of a victim as the actual victim.”

It is a familiar trope churned out as often as Asian Rape gangs. The reality?
There is a common understanding of acid attacks in the UK that goes something like this: the attacker is male; the victim female. Both are South Asian, and the violence has something to do with the man’s so-called ‘honour'.


But the most comprehensive set of data yet on acid attacks in London paints a different picture.


Statistics released by London’s Metropolitan Police to the BBC provide a breakdown of every recorded acid attack over a 15-year period by age, gender, ethnicity, borough, hate crime and outcome. It’s the fullest picture yet of the capital’s suspects and victims.


The findings include:



  • The suspect was male 74% of the time and victim was male 67% of the time
  • Just 6% of suspects were Asian
  • Only one so-called ‘honour’ attack was recorded in 15 years
  • Four out of five violent offences never reached trial



The figures appear to contradict a belief that a relative majority of acid attacks involve the South Asian diaspora.


“Definitely not,” said Detective Superintendent Mike West, the Metropolitan police lead on acid attacks, who has reviewed the figures. “That does not ring true. It’s very mixed from various religions, backgrounds, different victims, different offenders.”



So as usual those actually living in England are actually reprimanded for celebrating living in England or being English, by those who are not living here, who seek to prescribe what their idea of England should be. Two Yanks and an Ex-Pat insisting that reality does not fit into their narrow minded definition of what England should be.
