According to the daily mail the other day it is 2 deaths a day

That is killings on a whole, not knife crimes.

This from the Guardian in 2014.

Well I said deaths so same thing as killings really.
So what is your point that you are trying to make?

[youngmafbog]

Are we discussing deaths from stabbings here or 'just' stabbings ?

[anotheoldgit]

The response I got from my 2015 thread on the same subject.

more people = more crime. Makes sense to me.

If you were as worried about the increased rate of deterioration to our environment as you were the increased rate of murders, you may have been in London the past week or so protesting with the rest.

Quite agree, that is why I agree with those who are against further mass immigration.

[Zacs-Master]

Ah, so you know the exact percentage of crimes committed by immigrants rather than people born here do you? Care to tell us?

//you may have been in London the past week or so protesting with the rest//...........of the criminals.

[youngmafbog]

I dont believe anyone, apart from you, has mentioned proportions of immigrant crimes.

But it does highlight a big problem with using such high level figures. Without them being drilled down it's very difficult to see reasons why the increase and so be able to proffer any solution. Immigration is only one aspect I am very sure of that.

[Zacs-Master]

YMB, Aog thinks the root of the problem is immigration. It's a fair question to ask him to prove how he arrived at that conclusion. This would predicate him providing a few facts.

is that OK with you?

[Spicerack]

I hope no-one is suggesting there's a connection between flooding the country with people from violent, war-torn countries and an increase in violence.

[Zacs-Master]

Are these the same violent war torn countries which provide us with Doctors and nurses or different ones?

[youngmafbog]

"Are these the same violent war torn countries which provide us with Doctors and nurses or different ones?"

And where are your exact percentages of them then?

And no, I dont have any problem you asking AOG although I dont see he said anything about being exact. I simply put forward my thoughts on the subject.

[Spicerack]

Usually different ones. What difference does that make?

"Quite agree, that is why I agree with those who are against further mass immigration."


If you think because someone is black that they're an immigrant then you're ignorantly racist.
