Decades of socialism? You really have no idea about the UK. Since 1945, we've had a total of 16 years of any form of government which could be described as Socialist. That's 16 out of 74, the rest of the time, the country was governed by Right wing Conservatives or Conservative lites.That's what years of Right wing ideological austerity creates, cut funds to youth services and projectsaand this is what you get. Having said that, 1400-odd incidents out of a school population of millions, hardly indicates we are getting more violent as a societyYou are insane. The UK and pretty much all of Western Europe is many times safer than the gun crazy US. Yet you continue to spout this lame nra bullet point. Give it up kid..Police in the UK have had the option to carry a gun for many years. When they do they are issued a Smith & Wesson Model 36. Most don't because they prefer to not be armed. That is however changing with the recent influx of violent third world people entering the UK. You ignore the fact that for the majority of modern European history, they have been much less violent than the rest of the world. Two world wars, and the depopulation from those wars probably have something to do with that, but there have been no studies done that I know of for my assertion. But the low violence rate of Europeans in general is well known.
Now be a good chap and pay attention.
And that has been my point. Violence levels have been low in Europe due to cultural factors, not gun control. As their societies are wrecked the increase in Fatherless homes, and the importation of violent 3rd world immigrants who do not share the values of British citizens...their violence rates are going to go up....and are currently going up. Throw in the need to cut police forces to pay for the other hand out government programs and they are on the verge of a crime wave.
You have been shown, over and over that the stats say the opposite....Britain is more violent than the U.S.....and becoming more violent....keep telling yourself that it isn't.....
Children as young as four among hundreds caught with blades at school
In Manchester, an 11-year-old, who had replaced a highlighter nib with a blade, told another pupil: "Listen to me or else I'll stab you."
Former teacher David Simmons, who set up the Changing Lives charity, said he was confronted by a six-year-old brandishing a knife while working in a north London school.
"He was threatening other staff members and saying that he was going to stab them so I've gone over trying to calm this child down," he said. "He's then said he's going to stab me and kill me. At that age you just wouldn't have thought that a six-year-old should be doing that. Why were they doing that?"
No...that is what decades of socialism create....you run out of money, so you have to start cutting everything...while taxing more....
Yes....Britain was violent, and it is becoming more violent....do you think the trend of teenagers stabbing each other to death is just going to end, as more teenage girls have more children without husbands and fathers in the home?
