London Murder Rate Overtakes New York’s

[Tsing Tao]

The shooting every hour is the headline on the BBC Home page.

Shooting? I thought guns were illegal in the UK? How can there be a shooting every hour?

I read this when I got up this morning as part of my regular flit through the news. I used to live a mile away from there for a bit so I noticed it.

I can't see 'shooting every hour' on the page? Could you show me? There is mention of two shootings in one hour.

Earlier today when the article was the top article on the BBC homepage -- that was the second line of text (Sub-title).

I read the headers early this morning. That was not what I read and as I said, I lived a mile from there so I was paying attention.

I just did a search, Wayback does not show that version either in any of the 4 snapshots today.

Understand something from this, you are not a reliable witness of even your own life. Your mind just makes things up.

Hard to get full text of the article and screen shots while I am on the plane. However if you are going to make these type of claims than I will demand evidence and screenshots for all the nonsense you post.

as if it is racist to want to wish to regain your countries sovereignty.
as if it is racists to wish to control your countries immigration policies and borders.

Why does every important conversation about governance have to be brought to a level in which and honest and intelligent debate can not happen. (by lefties cries of ism)

It's actually a valuable time saving device used by the left. Crying "racism" or any of the other -isms is their way of saying " I cannot actually debate you on the merits so I will go into default mode."

So you are just re-directing to ignore the information in the article.

Do you disagree with the facts and figures in the article showing that the murder rate in London is greater than that in New York City for 2018? Do you disagree that the gun murder rate in London is greater than New York City for 2018?

The reporting isnt clear but it insinuates that knife killings are the leading cause in London in this USA Today article:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...er-rate-higher-than-new-york-citys/480860002/

“In London, the homicide rate has increased as the British capital experiences a rise in knife-related crime — responsible for 31 deaths this year — while New York City's murder rate has steadily dropped for almost three decades. Of the 54 murders in New York City this year, 32 people died by a firearm.”

You have a point.
