1—I despise Morgan, and everyone here knows it. I have said so many times. He faked photos of Iraqis being beaten by British troops, and as an ex-British Para, I have twice the reason to despise him as most civilian British already do.
2—I also have stated many times that I am a conservative. Ex-Tory, now UKIP. I have never been a socialist, and think it is a ruinous ideology.
3—Why the need to be so rude?. By all means, debate me on crime figures, but no need to attack me personally.
BTW, I agree that % wise, burglaries and muggings are higher in the UK, but rape figures are equal, and the US murder rate is FOUR times the UK’s. And the US gun murder rate is SIXTEEN times the UK’s.
And the difference is nearly entirely due to gang murders in the cities. We have more murder, but that's the price we pay for freedom. Most of us here will never be victims of murder, on the contrary even as we age we will be less apt to be victims due to deterrence (at least in the rural area I live in) and can defend ourselves with lethal force even when we lack the physical strength to fend off 3 young attackers with planks.
