//rape classically used to be underreported 2% were reported and 98% unrecorded and SO.... you can double the 2% to 4% ( that is a 100% rise//

What a relief, I can stop taking it so seriously now. Will the Beep and other "news agencies"" please stop shouting such misleading statistics at me? ........ Thought not.

Crickey Mikey, how many immigrants did you have to bath? :))

[mikey4444]

Bath was like the UN today....I don't think there was a nation that wasn't represented on the streets !

Lovely place....I must go more often.

I was there last month for weekend.

If you ever go again, try the Circus restaurant, and experience the best steak you will ever eat.

// What a relief, I can stop taking it so seriously now. //
oh good you read it correctly togo
well ---- at least you read it

you can stop taking seriously a sudden doubling of an event with a low reporting rate, as the perceived reported rate can double easily without their being an underlying increase
( this is Criminal Law 101 - "crime waves - are they ?")

there are times when I think writing 1+1 = 2 will overpower the intellects of some of the people on AB

Ahh the Beep Beep See, Pee Pee, and their static tics.

As I have said.....no Muslim has threatened, or tried, to throw me off a tall building'

That, Jack, is what we call anecdotal evidence. For instance, I've never been stabbed to death, yet still it happens.

/// What do you think about the idea that LGBT people might actually be reporting crimes more? That would be a huge influence on numbers. ///

/// Do you think that might be a contributing factor? ///

That could well be, but it doesn't alter the fact that it could also be due to the rise in foreign cultures into this country?

If you can provide a possible reason, why am I being condemned for also providing a reason? After all it was I who asked the question in the first instance.
So why am

As a late comer, could someone give me an appraisal of how we've equated that LGBT equates to Immigration?

[anotheoldgit]

/// It could also be attributed to climate change if you want - anything can be 'attributed' to anything if you have an agenda to push. ///

Just like some on the Left who are blaming the Far-Right for the increase in attacks?

Seems that on here one can blame anything, except those very sensitive reasons appertaining to foreign cultures and immigration.

Those subjects are a no, no it would seem.

/// AOG....is there nothing that happens in Britain today, that you wouldn't attribute to
immigration ? ///

Well it makes a change from you attributing the World's ills on Trump.

Take a look at your own country's ills first mikey, after all that is where you live isn't it?

[Zacs-Master]

Anyone?

[dannyk13]

Make up a saying from Brick,Head & Wall.

[jackthehat]

AOG - I have already shown you and explained (anecdotally, it seems) that 'the likes of me' has more to fear from the Far-right than any people from differing cultures...

[Zacs-Master]

AOG, or anyone else care to answer my query as how the OP equates LGBT to Immigration?

[Peter Pedant]

// As a late comer, could someone give me an appraisal of how we've equated that LGBT equates to Immigration?//

because dear sweet old AOG who is the OP
equates everything to immigration, big black fuzzy wuzzies ( sorry the Four Feathers was on teevee yesterday ) murdering us and worse in our beds at night without any squeak from the Press

or ....

because it is normal for AOG
