Crime stats are out - the media's response is typical

Yep, it's that time of year when bullshit, fiddled stats on crime make its way into the public consciousness. Predictably enough, you had the left wing Labour Party supporting BBC and the left wing and Labour Party supporting Guardian newspaper choose the most flattering stats for the government. The 'G' ran with this piece, which misleads the public into thinking that murder is not so common now, when it demonstrably is a widespread problem - murder rates are shockingly high, with nearly 700 people being killed last year.

Were it not for the amazing work of doctors and paramedics, how many more would be added to the tally of the murdered?

The BBC and Guardian have been very selective in what stats to publicise and prioritise as part of the mixed bag that came out. Neither left wing purveyor of journalism properly explained how the recording standards have changed over the years - we have not been told the full story, and they seek to play down just how lawless and hostile and broken this country has become.

Naturally, because of left wing policies and the absence of any half decent punishments.

To contrast against this, the Telegraph ran this piece, which leads with the figures that have risen, not fallen (pickpocketing, bag snatches).

It might be worth putting this into context. Since the '90s, we have seen near enough 5 million crimes a year recorded in England and Wales. Whether there's a bit of a fall or a bit of a rise, it is far far higher than the levels of the '70s or before.

No-one talks about how crime has disproportionately shot through the roof (in comparison with population levels). No-one talks about solutions outside of left wing ones, and the traditional solution of the modern day 'prison'.

The stats come, we digest them in the Metro or the Beeb, then we forget them till next year. The left wing press lies and plays it down, the right wing press scare the shit out of people without boldly presenting solutions to the issues.

The question is: why are Boaty and D so god damned good, and why are we not recognised as the pure legends that we are? Come back for real incisive comment and analysis. You won't regret it.
