The most violent country in Europe: Britain is also worse than South Africa and U.S

Britain's violent crime record is worse than any other country in the European union, it is revealed today.

Official crime figures show the UK also has a worse rate for all types of violence than the U.S. and even South Africa - widely considered one of the world's most dangerous countries.

The figures comes on the day new Home Secretary Alan Johnson makes his first major speech on crime, promising to be tough on loutish behaviour.

What is perhaps most interesting is what is buried deeper in the article concerning the violent crime rate in the US. The US is not even in the top ten of violent crime rates yet we are told our streets are unsafe and that government has the answer by getting more guns "off the streets".

Based on everything our government, federal, state and local, have been doing to us lately, just who are you going to believe in this matter?

The government or your lying eyes......

Now, that just can't be Big Dog! No way. The UK banned them EEE-viilll guns from private ownership. Why if they have a homicide rate of 4.6/100k, then, ehck-fire, the US, just a-dripping with guns, must have a homicide rate of 80 or 90/100k, maybe more. Give me a second and let me check.....

Hmm...this can't be right. Our homicide rate is about 5.5...can't be! I mean, everyone of them nasty conservatives is just armed to the teeth all the time an' jest awaitin' fer teh chance to blow someone away fer taking their parking space or goin' too slow on the turnpike, or playin' the thumpin' rap stuff. You KNOW that. Blood is coursin' down the streets like silt in the Mississippi. Looks like a tank burst at the catsup plant.

Yeah, our homicides have to be close to 200/100k. Just ask DiFi, Babs, Hill, or Holder.
