Would You Feel Safe Traveling to London?

IRA attacks that went on for close to twenty years were no less deadly.

I'm not concerned about my safety, but I will never again give the UK any of my vacation dollars.

All of Europe is safer than the US. The same day that we had the London atrocity there were 30 gun murders in the US. Its the same every day.

And London gun crime is up 42%......and violent crime is up 90% in many areas of Britain and up 25% across the country....your country has hit the end of the social welfare system......you can no longer create civilized young males...and you are about to experience crime like you have never seen before.....

We use our guns 1,500,000 times a year to stop violent crime.....you don't have that option.....

Your Britain today.....

Gun crime in London increases by 42% - BBC News

Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.
The Met Police's figures showed there were 2,544 gun crime offences from April 2016 to April 2017 compared to 1,793 offences from 2015 until 2016.
Knife crime also increased by 24% with 12,074 recorded offences from 2016 to 2017.

Gun and knife crime soaring in London, official figures show

More worryingly, there was also a rise in the number of guns being fired on London’s streets, up from 239 cases in 2015/16 to 306 cases in the last financial year.

There was also a 20 per cent increase in the rate of knife attacks involving injuries to victims, up from 3,663 to 4,415 in 2016/17.

“We are concerned about the rise of gun crime and rise of knife crime offences committed by young people and the changing nature of the offenders. “

He said there was evidence that more young people are carrying knives for a variety of reasons including status, criminality and self-protection but said only around a quarter are affiliated with gangs.

He said police were focusing on reducing stabbings by taking weapons and dangerous offenders off the streets and trying to prevent and divert people from crime.
------

“With double-digit growth in gun and knife crime - and a youth homicide almost every fortnight - the crime challenge for London is real and serious and has serious impacts for London’s most disadvantaged communities.”
He added: “With 600 victims of serious youth violence each month, the Met needs a new plan to tackle the violence on our capital’s streets if they are to help impoverished communities.
==========

Violent crime on the rise in every corner of the country, figures suggest

But analysis of the figures force by force, showed the full extent of the problem, with only one constabulary, Nottinghamshire, recording a reduction in violent offences.

The vast majority of police forces actually witnessed double digit rises in violent crime, with Northumbria posting a 95 per cent increase year on year.

Of the other forces, Durham Police recorded a 73 per cent rise; West Yorkshire was up 48 per cent; Avon and Somerset 45 per cent; Dorset 39 per cent and Warwickshire 37 per cent.

Elsewhere Humberside, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Wiltshire and Dyfed Powys all saw violence rise by more than a quarter year on year.

Oh please, find another set of bogus stats. The UK is still many times safer than the US. The body count bares this out.

The chances of being hurt or killed in a terror incident is infinitesimal.

IMHO.

There is a god.

It's not Jesus. Not Mohammed. Not Buddah. Not Shiva. Not Allah. It's none of the usual suspects.

FEAR is the only god.

All religions worship one god - FEAR.

I choose to not worship at the altar of FEAR.

 

[Geaux4it]

I lolled because you were serious... and by the way, how do you think that reflects on your tourism industry? I thought Trump had to make your economy great again...

If ANY American company needs foreign money to stay in business, it deserves to go out of business.

Tbe best way to Make America Grest Again is to Make America Isolationist and Nationalist Again.

You deserve what you got in Trump.

Everyone hates a winner. All others are first loser

You deserve what you got in Trump.

I didn't get anything. I didn't vote for him. I wrote ny own name in.

While the PC idiot want to be deads are proclaiming nothing to fear from Islam, people all over the world are losing interest in attending events
Soon enough the NFL will be a TV only event, the players and 500 security personnel in an empty stadium
Thank you world Libtards for helping the terrorists win

 

[DrainBamage]

Not me unless I could go armed

How about you?

-Geaux

You have-a too much-ah.... how you say.... da pussy.

 

[DrainBamage]

I would feel relatively safe traveling to England or France or someplace like that. I would not ever travel to Saudi Arabia or any middle eastern country.

There are middle eastern countries that are far safer than England or France.

 

[DrainBamage]

All of Europe is safer than the US. The same day that we had the London atrocity there were 30 gun murders in the US. Its the same every day.

This is just stupid, both the US and Europe are way too large and dynamic to support this claim.

There are ghettos in some areas of Europe with lots of crime that are unsafe, and extremely safe areas of the United States. Same is true in the opposite.

 

[DrainBamage]

Funny that you bring this up because I was invited to take a trip to France this summer! I've never been out of the United States, so I'm a little nervous about it but also excited. No, I won't be "packing heat." Lol.

I won't let these terrorists stop me from enjoying my life.

Good for you, you'll be fine and I hope you have a wonderful vacation.

Its an overall view. You are generally safer over here than over there although I accept that there are localised issues.

If I was so inclined I have no problem with most of europe but have reservations about any southern state.

Sure. I'm not a coward.

With so many adherents to the religion of peace, why would anyone worry?

Why do you call a patriarchal religion "the religion of peace".....?
