Stabby ! Can Trump's 'nasty person' be London's 'Mare ? Or a Knight-Mayor

If you want to ignore data because it points to you being wrong, that's entirely up to you - as I said, fingers in ears, froth.

You don't need to keep trawling the internet for bizarre exceptions (I'm not even sure this one is an exception lol) to what is a very, very obvious reality - violent crime is more common in urban cities than rural areas. Your continued denial of this is getting rather silly.

How do violent crime rates in rural Japan compare with Tokyo?

How do violent crime rates in rural Haiti compare with Port au Prince?

so THE ONLY explainer of crime is City Size ? i feel sorry for your blinkered reality.

Goodness me, how is that your summary of what I've said 🤣

I don't agree in bold - you can only ever have visibility on a tiny percentage of cases, and nowhere near enough to draw meaningful conclusions. There's also obviously huge scope for bias to influence such a subjective method of assessment.

I think we're conflating two points here - my argument is that the whole 'London has fallen' narrative around crime and lawlessness in the city is grossly exaggerated, as evidenced by the data.

At a glance, I would agree that data also supports your suggestion that on average foreigners are more likely to commit crime, but I'd guess I think there's a little more nuance to that than you do.

But if they can tiny amount of cases you never count btw then upscale as a pro rata sum and it’s all pretty clear. Immigrants are a big issue with crime. Only 18% of the population are non white with maybe 5% as immigrants legal or not. The prison population will answer this.

Lefties struggle with the idea of per capita.

James O'brien couldn't fathom it out. He said something like white English cause more crime. Correct they do, but they would because there are more of them.

In an attempt to inspire unity, I’d like to congratulate all N&P regulars for taking the night off to watch us thrash Liverpool at Anfield 🤓

So everything is just peachy then

Knife crime by police force area​

ONS data shows that in 2024/25, Metropolitan Police recorded the highest rate of 182 offences per 100,000 population. In contrast, Cumbria Police recorded the lowest rate of 31 offences per 100,000 population.

Presumably Cumbria has a different demographic to London

At the moment
