Should the government be more concerned over this than 2 attempted murders in Salisbury?

// I’m off to talk about something more interesting.//
that something wouldnt be ... Ni herself would it

has anyone noticed how "more concerned" - doesnt have meaning ?

look! there is a dead baby -and - AOG is concerned
Oh look! no there are two - he is more concerned - dear sweet good natured old man that he is!

Oh no look again - it really is two adults! should he be more of less concerned ? The smaller they are - the more concerned he is -
or is it that concern cannot be quantified in this way ?

Post Number Four on this thread -

// The notion that you can compare and contrast these two incidents on the basis of numbers, and conclude that the bigger the number, the worse the crime, is a fallacy.

I am sure the government is concerned with both issues, but doesn't waste its time with spurious comparisons. //

The trouble is that the police and other public services are very stretched and there are so many issues that they should be concerned about - there's likely always something that isn't getting the attention it needs, unfortunately.
