“High-harm” violent offences involving weapons are soaring in England and Wales, as a crime wave continues, with knife and gun crime, as well as homicide, shooting up.

Meanwhile, police also recorded 31 percent more rapes, up to 53,977, and 21 percent more other sexual offences, rising to 96,755.

The revelations, from the latest official figures published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), show offences involving knives or sharp instruments rising by 16 percent to 40,147 – the fourth consecutive increase in knife attacks revealed by the ONS

WUT?! Core blimey! I'll be gob smacked. I thought there were laws. Guess stricter laws are required. Surely has nothing to do with the influx of "refugees" that refuse to assimilate with the British culture and way of life. Right? Paging sad-EEK-Con. Maybe he can get some funding to have larger GUN FREE ZONE signs erected around the country side.

We need a law to make knife manufacturers TALK to their product when making them. Because these poor knives are treated as a product they feel neglected and want to KILL people.

The real numbers are definitely higher. In recent years I’ve seen stories about how they fudge the numbers. US police departments are forced to do the same by corrupt politicians.

It’s the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan.

IIRC, a crime in UK especially a violent crime is not recorded as such for statistical purposes until a verdict is rendered. It guarantees that crime statistics will be artificially lower than the grim reality.

So when a violent crime wave bursts onto the tabloids, you can bet things are MUCH worse in Olde Blighty than reported.

Therefore expect more lectures about the U.S.’s lax gun laws by our British superiors.

I don’t have the energy this morning to share all of my experiences with English liberal stupidity. But their inevitable dive into the abyss is has gained enough momentum that it is hard to see any real possibility that they will somehow extricate themselves from the mess that they have put themselves in.

Whaaat? That’s unpossible! they banned knives over there- someone must be simply misreporting- criminals can’t get knives because it’s illegal- everyone knows that-

The record rate of increase is decreasing, comrades! To get an idea of what it's increasing from, THIS is what they reporting a year ago. And it contains this cheery note:

While these figures cover the whole of England and Wales, much of these crime surges are concentrated in the capital, London, which is experiencing an unprecedented surge in acid attacks, which comes on top of the more familiar stabbings and shootings.

Yes indeed, who could forget the drive-by acid attacks. That wasn't a statistic that was widely kept in the UK, or for that matter, in the western world in general, until fairly recently. So what changed? Whatever could it be?

It's probably a crime for law-enforcement to record the race, religion or ethnicity of the law-breaker.

See how political correctness has perverted everything imaginable.

Yeah, I think they can figure out when that started. Of course the Lord Mayor Idiot will deny it and he will come for your sporks after he’s taken your knives.
