No way in hell you would have this immigration problem without that bleeding heart bullshit they vote for. Less nuclear families, less purpose for men, more discontent, more crime.

In Poland (where I live) its legal to carry any knife OR EVEN a full-sized sword. Only if: a)you carry it with intention of commiting a crime b)carry a knife on big pre-planned events like concerts, its illegal. Despite this, we don't have a knife-crime problem. Its really something cultural I guess.
I know it's just a misspelling of "without" but it's a funny concept that carrying a knife is explicitly only legal if you intend to commit a crime with it
A then imagine this…I am from Prague Czech republic. Yes, I live there for my whole life but there is not a single street in Prague, that I would be scared to go on even at 3 am. But there are children (young adults) acting like there are hoods etc. influenced by czech rappers trying to be hard so they are building this narrative that Prague streets are tough (or/and influenced by music from UK/USA). So these kids started carrying knives. There is no reason for them to do so and guess what happened. The knife crime increased. One of the safest cities and they are acting like that. Utterly pathetic
My mates went to Prague. They were pulled into a strip joint, offered the services of trafficked prostitute's and when they declined where told to empty their pockets by some large men.
Ahoj, dobre den, I'd have to agree with you. Gave spent quite long periods of my adult life living in and around Prague and have never once felt any anxiety when out late or otherwise on the streets of the city. Admittedly, I've not seen the very worst or lowest income areas of Praha, but have mixed with people whose station in life and recreational tendencies would have them grouped as undesirables. Despite this, your city always felt safer and cleaner, etc, than the greater parts of many other cities that I have lived in or visited. It's a shame that the nature of globalisation and the media proliferate wrong-headed aspirations amongst impressionable people's. Naścladeno (spelled that wrong!) Ahoj

You cant solve knife crime by banning this or that because a kitchen knife is all you need. Banning swords it dumb because u can't walk around with a sword without being seen.
Yeah British people have become too craven and submissive to the Government. It's got to the point where politicians are banning every metal tool you can think of. Guess what? Criminals will attack you with a wooden club then. This pathetic banning culture Britain has is honestly strange and solves nothing. All it does is keep the common people in fear and submissiveness to the people with weapons. (Govt and Criminals).

21:20 WOAH, hold up, those UAE and Qatar rates are way off. In order to have an accurate m rate to begin with, you need a certain level of equality in society where all unalivings will actually be reported and counted. Unfortunately, in the UAE and Qatar there is essentially a slave labor class of migrant workers (mostly from India and SE Asia) that experiences extremely high rates of crime and death, it's simply not reported due to such workers status in society. It's been a major issue for a while, but a lot of the world started hearing about the problem when Qatar won the hosting rights to the world cup in 2021. More than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were worked so hard building buildings in the desert that they lost their lives in Qatar since it won the right to host. The country still does not formally recognize these deaths are what they are; m*rders. So you just can't talk about the m*rder rates in countries with huge inequality without acknowledging that such inequality means the unalivings of the 'underclasses' are simply not counted. BTW, this also is true for countries with very high gender inequality. Lots of femicide in such countries, but those are simply not counted often.

Funny how quickly people have forgotten that the murder rate in Scotland in 2004 was 2.7 times higher than the highest it's ever BEEN in London and it's curious as to how that high murder rate was never really a talking point or a sign of societal doom in the UK as a whole, never mind internationally. I wonder why?
@@DinisF97 Novel means new and it's not new, there were razor gangs in the London in the 50's and members of the Teddy Boys youth culture were notorious for carrying and using knives as was the later skinhead culture. The only thing that keeps growing is the public's media exposure to it that's leading to confirmation bias that makes it feel novel and on the increase. The problem itself is actually decreasing having peaked in the 2017/18 police crime figures reporting year.
@@martinwilkinson7939Those are domestic problems. It's silly to compare domestic problems to imported foreign ones. One is entirely optional and the other is not. Also, it's not as if those weren't problems and no one cared. No one cares anymore because they aren't a problem anymore.
@@magicalframe9441 Well seeing as the were "imported" at a time when they weren't doing knife crime (and the vast majority of them aren't even now) then it wasn't a factor was it. And stabbings in Scotland are still a problem. They hide them in the media by calling them "slashings" (local slang) so it's harder to find stories about them (and people like you don't really care anyway if you were honest) but you can Google *Glasgow slashing* if you can be bothered. Also, the Cleveland police area in the North East of England has the second highest rate of knife crime, that problem is happening right now, but the existence of those particular stabby people in the country wasn't optional so no reason for it ever even cross your mind right?
@@martinwilkinson7939 What do you mean by "imported at a time when they weren't doing knife crime"? It doesn't matter if most of them aren't running around stabbing people. If we import 20,000 people and 100 of stab, rape, or steal (yes, I know, not real figures don't be a pedant) those crimes could have been entirely prevented by NOT importing those people. Besides, this is only one of the many consequences of mass immigration. Yes, stabbings in Scotland are a problem. Glasgow has been violent for decades. This isn't news to anyone. However it's an entirely different problem. One that isn't created directly through government policy. That is endemic to Scotland. You can't flip a switch and stop them stabbing each other. Get out of your bubble and quit acting like anyone who doesn't agree with you is an orcish demon. "People like you" my ass lol. Yes English people committing crime is also a problem, but we can't just stick them on a plane to wherever they came from. You're completely missing the point.
Honestly bro, you hit the nail on the head. I moved to England in 2012 coming from Belgium and got tangled up in the drug trade/county lines and have been stabbed myself/lost close friends to "knife crime" and to me, it always seemed like there was less and less of it while also being more and more sensationalised. Most victims of knife crimes in London aren't white, so the general conservative societal mind instantly jumps to "these 'criminals' aren't here to contribute but to squeeze the UK of all its resources" while not realising the reason these things are happening are due to consistent, systemic neglect and deprivation, but people would rather blame the issue on the person itself here than take a step back and contextualise the whole situation. Nobody stops to think how it even got to this point, but are more than happy to point fingers and make it out like you deserve it.
@@VileCAESARBif you had the slightest bit of critical thinking skills you’d be able to put together that the percentage of the people AND the crimes are concentrated in areas that are at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder.
It is absolutely racial/ethnic, literally in every single Western country muslims and blacks hold a monopoly on being extremely overrepresented as (violent) criminals, even in socialist utopia's like Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. So the whole leftist "they're neglected, impoverished, and have little future" BS is such a massive cope and lame excuse.
Love your work my guy, you care about getting your numbers right so as someone who grew up and lives in St Louis I want you to know that the murder rate number is skewed by how the area divides itself into about 100 separate municipalities, each considered it's own reporting district by the gov't. We do have legit problems with crime, as does any metro area of over 2 mil, but the number you used is taken from an area that's incredibly poor, dangerous, and anyone with sense leaves. You can go two miles west and live in a nice area, we did. Keep up the good work!

When Glasgow was the knife crime capital of Europe and the perpetrators were white, it was seen as an issue stemming from a lack of opportunities and eduction and was treated as such with schemes and investments. Now London is synonymous with knife crime in Europe and the perpetrators are black, it is seen as a cultural and sometimes even an inherent issue with those people.
That has two sides though. On the one hand there should be oppertunity, but on the other hand we have people who are unwilling to see it as a problem because that would be racist.
I live in Wood Green, North London. Let me give it to you straight. It is a cultural thing. Whether it offends you or not. I meet a lot of different ethnicities and races. Young Black men are by far the most aggressive and violent. Other races cause crime, but it tends to be targeted on their personal enemies. If a Turk or a Polish has a beef, he keeps it in house etc. The young black boys on the other hand just go out looking to stab someone random. Half the time they kill someone, they barely even knew them. Ignoring this cultural reality is craven and dishonest. I got no hatred of blacks btw, in fact, I find the African ones to be more respectful and honest. Its the London roadmen black boys that are proper dangerous when out looking for there opps. You could just be a civilian in wrong place at wrong time, they will still cheff you.
There is no political will nor care for this issue, the political class is so far removed they dont even really register the devastating reality of it. Good video. I work with youths who find themselves in the criminal justice system and will be sharing your video as a way to get them thinking. Thanks Jimmy.
This is such a great video. As someone who regularly uses large knives for my job and for hobbies, I get concerned at the constant calls for more knife bans. Carrying a knife without a reason is already illegal, and bringing in bans on specific knives has been tried for decades and has never worked. But the gov would rather create a stupid new law rather than tackle the root cause of the issue, because as you said its expensive, and long term, and they dont want the hassle.
A superb analysis of nuance to a complex issue using evidenced theory and stats. Social media would be the one big factor omitted in my opinion. Thanks!
this happened because we have no real self defence laws and due to that any form of defensive tool, what's the point in self defence when we cant fight of an attacker. if i was to get run up on in the streets rn and i fought back when the police get there wed both be charged. the uk has taught its people to be scared to stand up for themselves and so no one does and no one has anything to defend themselves with either. which is stupid because criminals don't care if a knife is illegal they will carry it anyway and use it anyway, so why do we the public need to walk about with no form of protection whilst criminals do what they want anyway and when or if they do go to stab us were just allowed to use fists, even a legal carry like a swiss army knife would get you charged if you used it back in self defence against someone literally trying to take your life with the same weapon. give us proper self defence rights and laws, and its simple allow everyone to be able to defend themselves with everyday carry weapons, such as 6 round revolvers for public carry, pump or barrel fed shotguns for home defence, switchblade for public carry. none of these weapons hold enough ammo or power to cause mass shootings the reload time after those 6 rounds are fired is way to long for anyone to practically use it for mass shootings same with shotguns, and guess what we can regulate what ammo is available to the public ie keep it to standard rounds in revolvers and only alow birdshot and buck shot for shotguns. and now imagine everyone has self defences right and the means to defend themselves and so people take robbing, raping and killing people a whole lot more serious because now the criminals dont know what we have a gun or a knife they have no clue. so you see people would double think doing these things in public. Obviously when you mix giving your country no self defence rights, laws or even the means to defend themselves against knife crime with also cutting pensions upping the prices for essentials and taxing us up our arses with no return when we are suffering this is what you'll get. its very simple our governments just not that smart.
people forget that a gun is a survival tool just like a knife is a survival tool. it shouldn't be so taboo the thought of defending your own life. especially when guns are the only reason people feel so free today.

Around 20:00 you talk about immigration and it's relation to crime, and I think you leave out a very important fact. In Sweden for example, the non-eu imigrants are more likely to commit violent crimes than sweden-born people with swedish parents. But the worst group is the sweden-born people with non-eu born parents, especially parents from Middle East and North Africa. So we'll probably experience the results of the huge amount of people from ME/NA, that fled to Sweden around 2015, when their children becomes teenagers.
and coincidentally "in Sweden, the at-risk-of-poverty rate between 2013 and 2023 was highest among citizens born outside of the EU. It usually lay between 30 and 40 percent. The rates were significantly lower for people born in the EU or in Sweden, between 15 and 20 percent and around 11 percent, respectively."
That's because their parents have fled there with fuck all so that the kids are far less well off than their peers - it's inequality as a root cause yet again.
@@olliestudio45 You can't chalk EVERYTHING up to poverty. There is a pressing issue of people from the MENA region not integrating into Western European society.
You make a great point but of course Jimmy only hearted the reply that reinforces his view of everything bad is down to poverty. He's getting more and more mask-off with his left-wing views by the day.
Imma yank that loves your vids. As a Yank we obviously have our own issues with crime and violence over here as well quite famously. But alot of people on our side of the pond have also been talking about Britians knife crime (mostly through memes if we're being honest) and I also knew about Glasgow and how the stats dont even tell half the story at the turn of the 20th into the 21st century Scotland was the most dangerous country in the entirety of the EU per capita! But like you said in the video community action and not just throwing more money at the police did the trick and crime overall went down. In the US poverty, lack of community, lack of upward mobility, mental illness, drugs and drug abuse all stew into the big pot that is crime of all types. Also as a Non-white guy Im also glad it didnt turn into a "lets blame all the problems of society on minorities" which is sadly very common these days. Keep up the great docs bro.
Love your work! Brilliant analysis of a complex issue once again! Bravo! Please keep the vids coming and I'll keep sharing them (especially with those who incorrectly think the causes are obvious and the solutions simple).
I got arrested on suspicion of possessing a bladed article. I was homeless at the time and fell asleep in a graveyard. Someone called the police and I got woken up to two officers saying "what's your name?". Given that they'd literally just woken me up, I wasn't in the most cooperative mood. I said "do I need to tell you my name if I'm not under arrest?" and he said "put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest". This shocked me, especially when he said it was for possession of a bladed article. Turns out it was because a Stanley knife I'd got for a pound from pound land had fallen out my pocket onto the grass. I was using it to cut string to make a makeshift tent because I was sleeping in the park. They took me in for 8 hours before releasing me 5 miles from where they picked me up without pressing charges and without a lift back. Whilst I was in custody they refused to give me my medication with my name clearly printed on it because "that could be anything in there mate, you could've tampered with it", and they also unravelled my entire ball of string before giving it back to me, the spiteful bastards. I had to throw it away it was so knotted. Never even threatened anyone, never mind committed a stabbing. That said, I had a knife held to my throat in a robbery when I was homeless, by a well known local scumbag. He'd set out to rob homeless people knowing there were no consequences After it happened to 3 or 4 friends I decided enough was enough. I knew where he lived and his full name, but the police wouldn't let me make a report without givibg my full name, which could very well have gotten me killed. So he got to carry on. If you think this doesn't disproportionately affect the poor I don't know what to tell you.
Thanks for sharing, I don't understand this though: 'the police wouldn't let me make a report without givibg my full name, which could very well have gotten me killed' Why could that have gotten you killed? Couldn't you have used a fake name?
I remember in 2010 when I was a teen, me and friends would also get stop and searched regularly. It use to be so annoying. We knew we had nothing on us that they can find, but understood why the officers are doing their jobs. It's just annoying when it happens every 2,3 days when you're just chilling with your friends.
I'm open to hearing an immigration =/= increase in crime argument, but comparing 2020 net migration to half that nominal value from over a decade ago (or any previous year, really) and saying the rate in 2020 was lower is not a good argument given that over half the year people were in lockdown.

The stabbings are sad but what's seemingly WAY worse are the child grooming gangs UK police ignored for years. That's legitimately terrifying. Either way, things are not trending in a good direction but it seems people's lives need to get a lot worse before any major change happens.
Unfortunately, nothing will change. Historically, we British do exactly nothing. We simply put up with whatever the ruling elite inflict on us. And they decided to abandon our city streets to the criminals. And now Labour has let all the criminals that they locked up five minutes ago free. The result will be a tsunami of crime. But that's okay. They'll be safe in their leafy shires or their gated communities
Oh, they didn't just ignore the grooming gangs. They were covering up for them, keeping the parents away from the abducted children and police officers were gladly r**ing the kids themselves. I've lived in UK for over six years. There are many things I like about the country, especially the elderly. Old time Brits are the most wonderful people in the world. But the system, the youth culture, the law, the justice system, the police and the protected class of third world immigrants makes me sick to my stomach I can't imagine living there anymore.
That's spot on, especially when gang members do things for elders a slang term for a veteran gang member most of the time these young people are groomed into a lifestyle given to them by the older gang members. And because there's less mid tier business that used to fill the high street there's less opportunity so most of the time these young people end up in parks outside sweets shops etc where they're picked up by a gang member and groomed into a lifestyle.

Pakistani, Bangladeshi British people are poor in the UK as well but their homicide rates are very less compared to African British people. I wonder why
There is nothing new in knives being carried as weapons. Humans have carried sharp implements for thousands of years, both as means of attack and defence and also to help them cook and consume food. Knives are a type of tool and like many tools they can double up as a weapon. If you look back to the 60's and 70's you will see that the carrying of knives and razors was fairly common among certain types of people. It was often seen as being tough and was very common among street gangs. This isn't anything new, it's merely the continuation of people carrying weapons as they always have done. We are predators after all is said and done, and we lack the natural weapons of most predators.
17:24 - do you understand rate? Using your own chart and 2021 census data white 82% population - 68% of knife possession non white 18% population - 32% of knife possession This is ignoring the 'No stated ethnicity' numbers in that chart.
@@Sacterheld you call anything woke first of all I know for a fact that isn't 100% white, and second it being not stated doesn't make it automatically black or white so you assuming its automatically black just shows how bias and willing you are to get the answer you want to suit your world view.
@@SenGriffen If whites are 82% of the population they should commit 82% of knife possession crimes and if non whites are 18% of the population they should commit 18% of knife possession crimes. But that's not the case , whites only commit 68% whilst non whites commit 32%, meaning that non whites are overrepresented in knife crime, meaning more non whites on average compared to the rest of their race are more likely to carry knives compared to white people compared to their race. It's very simple.
I think it's dangerous of you to frame this as an issue of ethnicity being the problem rather than crime being a consequence of poverty and inequality.

You see capitalism as a cause for young ones turning to crime, but in Sweden Malmo young refugees refused job offerings because they could make more money by selling drug. That is just one case but I'm confident that simple and fast shortcuts are why they turn to it. Culture enters the discussion here when someone's philosophy is to hustle and do it at all costs for their good, they consequently lack the foresight to see the society, especially one that they do not feel belong to.
When did capitalism stop existing in Sweden? Its semi Socialist but still has private market and a tradition of both xenophobia and eugenics... Should maybe look into the why behind some of the other stats there, like why the lower birth rates of children with conditions they can spot in utero..... There are more socio-economic than ethnicity based culture influences factoring into the larger equation than most want to accept.
@@ChickadeeBoi "It's not race or foreign culture, it's inequality." - So what happens if we import hundreds of thousands of really unequal people? "Capitalism bad."
You've literally described a problem caused by capitalism. If someone makes the decision to turn to crime to make more money, there's almost every chance that they can't make enough to support themselves on a legitimate wage, or have crippling debts or toxic expectations to live up to. How people can miss this stuff while talking about it all in the same breath is absurd. You need to re read your own comment and get a clue.

Random small giggle in a serious video.... 2:45 there is a few legit dinner/salad forks in the bin of knives. Were they taken while arresting that one dude for his "succulent Chinese meal?" 😅 More sincerely though, this is why you should always double check and question statistics. They are just numbers, and can be easily misrepresented or construed to support whatever goal is preferred. Like here the focus isn't on the 90% decrease in stabbings in NYC, its on the negligible increase of London (yes its a bit high, but arguably has been since my youth. I'm Canadian and remember 07/08 being far more newsworthy for Britt knifings. That's a good 15+ yrs at a concerning but steady rate, no major spikes though or continuous rising from outsider POV). But because we associate NYC with big crime numbers we falsely fill in the intentional variable they left unknown. They are using your 6th grade aversion to algebra to their advantage by simply rearranging the numbers enough to mislead without using blatant lies. It’s misreporting done intentionally with the benefit of plausible deniability.
"It's not race or foreign culture, it's inequality." "So what happens if we import hundreds of thousands of really unequal people?" "What about Mexico - they are religious and they have strict laws..." - Are you playing daft? It doesn't matter what laws you have, if you don't enforce them. What about El Salvador, is the question you should be asking. They somehow reduced their murder rate drastically. Must have some spectacular long term integration social programs in the good old El Salvador.
He says its inequality and then deliberately aggregates disparate groups together to prove a point, in other ways he is playing fast and loose with statistics as well despite claiming others are doing so.
El Salvador is an authoritarian and borderline fascist state. They addressed the problem of gang violence by imprisoning tens of thousands of people without trial. That doesn't tackle the underlying causes of crime, nor does it represent a fair and functional justice system.
Jamaica is consistantly in the top 5 murders per capita and is often No1 or No2 in the world. We imported loads of them and now have loads of murders... must be inequality.
Every third or fourth person could be innocent over there, and they make their prisons very very inhumane. If they would have built these prisons in wartime for captured soldiers, they would have hauge over their asses.
This sounded like bullshit, I checked. Highest in EUROPE, not the world. Being the highest in Europe is not close to the highest in the world when the highest murder rates are consistently Middle America and the Caribbean.

It's mostly out of fear, misplaced respect and just people being on road that corrupts people into getting involved. Most of these situations could've ended in a conversation rather then an all out war. It doesn’t help the media focuses on it being a black issue rather then a poverty issue and gang issue
Lad, getting stabbed be the least of your worries in N. Ireland. I knew a family friend in Londonderry that had semtex placed under his car. He was a civilian, but he ran a petrol station that would be used by Protestants to fill up at, that was it. He was the nicest guy too, didn't have any hatred for Catholics.
This youtuber done his research well... everything he's assessed is very accurate. I'm surprised politicians can't acknowledge it to correct it. Hes presented it so well 💯

26:03 Brit currently living in the States. Love this video! The thing about punishment/coercion, is that science, fact and research based numbers show that both dogs and children not only learn better when you reward the behaviour you want, but retain that knowledge longer. I'm just a dog trainer/behaviourist, who uses P- and R+ training with the dogs (rescue through K9s and Working Dogs) that I'm handling, and they shine. Pretty sure people also would learn better when say, they are rewarded, than if they are locked up for longer/lifetime. Here, they have the Death Penalty. It doesn't stop bad behaviour, so clearly the ultimate punishment is a failure, on many levels. Cheers.
@@QC9B4XK6u and you miss the point like a Stormtrooper misses targets 🤷 we all have flaws, no need to be such a petty twat bout it though 🤣 (maybe calm down with a nice video, I suggest watching this one)
This is the kind of high quality documentary once expected from the BBC....I disagree with you on several issues (Remember, the 'bad statistics' argument swings both ways...) Nevertheless, I feel much smarter now thanks to your differentiated take on the topic. Thanks a lot!
Apply what you present to the majority of government policies and media reporting and you get the same result. We don’t treat the cause, this is nothing new and we continue to accept it
Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you on putting together a very entertaining video. Certainly stimulates a conversation. I agree with the issue being nuanced, but I also think you've understated the weight that culture has an effect. You mention culture in relation to consumerism and status (I'm sure it has some effect) but neglect to mention a growing number of people's complete lack of value cohesion. I don't think it has anything to do with race whatsoever, it is 'culture'. We now have glorified strippers and drug dealers posing as artists, selling us fashion on JD Sports ads. We completely glorify sex and violence and condescendingly boast how this is a contributing factor to multi-culturalism. I wish people understood the word 'DISPROPORTIONATE'. According to the UK 2021 census, 4.2% of England is black but let's take London; 13% of London is black. Half of those are women and even less so are children and elderly. So let's say 6% are fully grown men. 6% of the population make up 45% of London's knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators, and 53% of knife crime perpetrators. That is 8, 9, and 10 times the amount (respectively) that they are represented in the population. This means they are DISPROPORTIONATELY committing more knife crime, yet are only 2.2 times more likely to be stopped and searched. You could make the argument that the police's crippling fear of being called racist has led to people not being searched enough. On the subject of stop and search, it is not racist to stop someone in a high knife crime area that presents themself in a way that warrants a search. Even if they were white. If you were in a lift and a well-dressed black guy in a suit walked in, you are much less likely to tightly grip your belongings than if a scruffy white guy walked in wearing dirty baggy clothes, stinking of weed. You could argue it is a class issue. But let me tell you; if a bunch of grannies were stabbing people in Bingo halls, I would want the police to search grannies walking into bingo halls. We have lost all common sense. While I agree income and environment are clear factors; for example, a Nigerian family in Berkhamstead with an upper-middle class income is far less likely to commit or be a victim of knife crime committed by a white person from the inner city. This actually leads me to my next point. Immigration... in 2020, 1.3 million foreign-born nationals were claiming benefits. This was from a total of 10 million foreign-born nationals in the UK at the time. That is 13% of the foreign-born nationals. That is a substantial number which doesn't factor in their children as many of them were born in the UK. So a significant number of people coming to the country, not economically contributing and being funded by the tax-payer to live in the same places that these knife crimes are taking place. Many have no interest in assimilating or finding work. Many come here because they can easily take it without any questions, and can cry victim if anyone has anything to say about it. I don't blame them by the way. It is a pure failure of government. Not all immigrants are like this, of course but it begs the question: why are we letting in people that will be dependent on the state as soon as they arrive? How does that benefit us? I say all of this to make the point, if you feel you have no roots here, no sense of heritage and values that you have inherited, always see everything in the lens of race, the haves and the have-nots, the 'I don't have what I want so I will just take it and let white middle-class lefty students blame white people for some reason or other rather than the full-grown adult committing a crime'. Scores and scores of Albanian drug dealers with their Turkish barbers and candy shops as fronts to launder money. Moped crime becoming so rampant that it has become a social norm not to wear a watch in London anymore. We don't shame this behaviour. We don't shame bad decisions, we instead opt for empathy. Empathy shouldn't always be applied by the way. We don't do it for nonces or r*pists, and rightfully so. Yet, we used to shame bad behaviour. We used to shame thievery, anti-social behaviour, promiscuity etc. Now we 'only' focus on the socio-economic factors. It isn't race, its culture. ...And our spinelessness to enforce the law even if it means that the arrest rates are disproportionate to the representation in the population. Its like we want equality in crime too. Its ridiculous. Many of you won't bother reading this. Its mainly a rant but I genuinely enjoyed the video. Jimmy does some belters.
Apologies in advance for the essay but this was a good video, it deserved the like. You raised some good points and you looked deeply into it without resorting to slogans but I do have some comments. Glasgow is an anomaly. Knife crime, violent crime and sexual crime, particularly against women is all rising in the multiculturally diverse European cities like London, Birmingham, Paris, Marseille, Malmo, Berlin who have all taken huge numbers of immigrants in the last 20 years. Look at a crime index of Europe and then see how homogeneous the ethnic populations are. I don't think this is at all about skin colour, an infant of any race will see and learn from what is in their environment equally. I think this is about culture, religion and ethical values and how we've allowed millions of people to come to this continent who fundamentally do not share the same beliefs about life, family, equality, law and order. I have worked in the asylum system doing housing maintenance in Yorkshire for 2 years and I've seen these values first hand and how they directly feed into existing communities, particularly Muslims as these people come from parts of the world where Islam is dominant, unquestionable and sadly, far truer to what is said in the Quran and Hadiths. To put it simply, they have often have more extremist views. We also have to remember the biggest security threat to the West is radical Islamism currently, and as successful attack in Moscow and the failed suicide bombing plan in Belgium at a Taylor Swift concert show they are trying to step up the scale again. Yet we allow undocumented men to come from areas which have enormous problems with terrorism and extremism. You might also have noticed the revival of sectarian politics again in the UK last election, with Muslim pressure groups funding campaigns in certain areas. And this is not just a UK problem, it's a problem for Europe too, and we've seen countries like Poland and Hungary defy EU threats and sanctions to close their borders and are refusing to take any more undocumented asylum seekers. The Netherlands is probably going to same route and if the right continues to rise then France and Germany will start to head towards that direction. More and more are waking up to this.
Mate, just look at the trends. Yes we've had gangs for years but the scale has been moved up rapidly and the people committing crimes have changed too.
Yea but they had a criminal code and some sort of honour system right up until the kray era , the " urban youth " gangsters of today are just worthless
@@simonmarshall3869 No I'm not referrencing peaky blinders. I'm referrencing actual history. My family made their money through the criminal underworld back then but that was about dodgy deals, avoiding tax and ignoring regulations. We didn't have this drug fueled stabbings as common place, they still helped communities. I'm not a fan of any crime but the pure lying about it's always been like this is just tripe
Despite making up only 13% of London’s total population, black Londoners account for 45% of London’s knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators.

A then imagine this…I am from Prague Czech republic. Yes, I live there for my whole life but there is not a single street in Prague, that I would be scared to go on even at 3 am. But there are children (young adults) acting like there are hoods etc. influenced by czech rappers trying to be hard so they are building this narrative that Prague streets are tough (or/and influenced by music from UK/USA). So these kids started carrying knives. There is no reason for them to do so and guess what happened. The knife crime increased. One of the safest cities and they are acting like that. Utterly pathetic
It was only safe because of the mafia over there...
My mates went to Prague. They were pulled into a strip joint, offered the services of trafficked prostitute's and when they declined where told to empty their pockets by some large men.
Ahoj, dobre den,
I'd have to agree with you.
Gave spent quite long periods of my adult life living in and around Prague and have never once felt any anxiety when out late or otherwise on the streets of the city.
Admittedly, I've not seen the very worst or lowest income areas of Praha, but have mixed with people whose station in life and recreational tendencies would have them grouped as undesirables. Despite this, your city always felt safer and cleaner, etc, than the greater parts of many other cities that I have lived in or visited.

21:20 WOAH, hold up, those UAE and Qatar rates are way off. In order to have an accurate m rate to begin with, you need a certain level of equality in society where all unalivings will actually be reported and counted. Unfortunately, in the UAE and Qatar there is essentially a slave labor class of migrant workers (mostly from India and SE Asia) that experiences extremely high rates of crime and death, it's simply not reported due to such workers status in society. It's been a major issue for a while, but a lot of the world started hearing about the problem when Qatar won the hosting rights to the world cup in 2021. More than 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were worked so hard building buildings in the desert that they lost their lives in Qatar since it won the right to host. The country still does not formally recognize these deaths are what they are; m*rders. So you just can't talk about the m*rder rates in countries with huge inequality without acknowledging that such inequality means the unalivings of the 'underclasses' are simply not counted. BTW, this also is true for countries with very high gender inequality. Lots of femicide in such countries, but those are simply not counted often.

Funny how quickly people have forgotten that the murder rate in Scotland in 2004 was 2.7 times higher than the highest it's ever BEEN in London and it's curious as to how that high murder rate was never really a talking point or a sign of societal doom in the UK as a whole, never mind internationally. I wonder why?
Because people see it as a novel problem for London that could've been avoided that keeps on growing.
@@DinisF97 Novel means new and it's not new, there were razor gangs in the London in the 50's and members of the Teddy Boys youth culture were notorious for carrying and using knives as was the later skinhead culture.
The only thing that keeps growing is the public's media exposure to it that's leading to confirmation bias that makes it feel novel and on the increase. The problem itself is actually decreasing having peaked in the 2017/18 police crime figures reporting year.
@@martinwilkinson7939Those are domestic problems. It's silly to compare domestic problems to imported foreign ones. One is entirely optional and the other is not. Also, it's not as if those weren't problems and no one cared. No one cares anymore because they aren't a problem anymore.
@@magicalframe9441 Well seeing as the were "imported" at a time when they weren't doing knife crime (and the vast majority of them aren't even now) then it wasn't a factor was it. And stabbings in Scotland are still a problem. They hide them in the media by calling them "slashings" (local slang) so it's harder to find stories about them (and people like you don't really care anyway if you were honest) but you can Google *Glasgow slashing* if you can be bothered.
Also, the Cleveland police area in the North East of England has the second highest rate of knife crime, that problem is happening right now, but the existence of those particular stabby people in the country wasn't optional so no reason for it ever even cross your mind right?
@@martinwilkinson7939 What do you mean by "imported at a time when they weren't doing knife crime"? It doesn't matter if most of them aren't running around stabbing people. If we import 20,000 people and 100 of stab, rape, or steal (yes, I know, not real figures don't be a pedant) those crimes could have been entirely prevented by NOT importing those people. Besides, this is only one of the many consequences of mass immigration.
Yes, stabbings in Scotland are a problem. Glasgow has been violent for decades. This isn't news to anyone. However it's an entirely different problem. One that isn't created directly through government policy. That is endemic to Scotland. You can't flip a switch and stop them stabbing each other. Get out of your bubble and quit acting like anyone who doesn't agree with you is an orcish demon. "People like you" my ass lol.
Yes English people committing crime is also a problem, but we can't just stick them on a plane to wherever they came from. You're completely missing the point.
Honestly bro, you hit the nail on the head. I moved to England in 2012 coming from Belgium and got tangled up in the drug trade/county lines and have been stabbed myself/lost close friends to "knife crime" and to me, it always seemed like there was less and less of it while also being more and more sensationalised. Most victims of knife crimes in London aren't white, so the general conservative societal mind instantly jumps to "these 'criminals' aren't here to contribute but to squeeze the UK of all its resources" while not realising the reason these things are happening are due to consistent, systemic neglect and deprivation, but people would rather blame the issue on the person itself here than take a step back and contextualise the whole situation. Nobody stops to think how it even got to this point, but are more than happy to point fingers and make it out like you deserve it.

Love your work my guy, you care about getting your numbers right so as someone who grew up and lives in St Louis I want you to know that the murder rate number is skewed by how the area divides itself into about 100 separate municipalities, each considered it's own reporting district by the gov't.

When Glasgow was the knife crime capital of Europe and the perpetrators were white, it was seen as an issue stemming from a lack of opportunities and eduction and was treated as such with schemes and investments. Now London is synonymous with knife crime in Europe and the perpetrators are black, it is seen as a cultural and sometimes even an inherent issue with those people.
Yeah, but the Scots are still stabbing each other at a rapid rate. The old way didn't work.
Exactly, populist politicians/ pundits praying on peoples lack of information
That has two sides though. On the one hand there should be oppertunity, but on the other hand we have people who are unwilling to see it as a problem because that would be racist.
I live in Wood Green, North London. Let me give it to you straight. It is a cultural thing. Whether it offends you or not. I meet a lot of different ethnicities and races. Young Black men are by far the most aggressive and violent. Other races cause crime, but it tends to be targeted on their personal enemies. If a Turk or a Polish has a beef, he keeps it in house etc. The young black boys on the other hand just go out looking to stab someone random. Half the time they kill someone, they barely even knew them. Ignoring this cultural reality is craven and dishonest. I got no hatred of blacks btw, in fact, I find the African ones to be more respectful and honest. Its the London roadmen black boys that are proper dangerous when out looking for there opps. You could just be a civilian in wrong place at wrong time, they will still cheff you.

There is no political will nor care for this issue, the political class is so far removed they dont even really register the devastating reality of it. Good video. I work with youths who find themselves in the criminal justice system and will be sharing your video as a way to get them thinking. Thanks Jimmy.
This is such a great video. As someone who regularly uses large knives for my job and for hobbies, I get concerned at the constant calls for more knife bans. Carrying a knife without a reason is already illegal, and bringing in bans on specific knives has been tried for decades and has never worked. But the gov would rather create a stupid new law rather than tackle the root cause of the issue, because as you said its expensive, and long term, and they dont want the hassle.
A superb analysis of nuance to a complex issue using evidenced theory and stats. Social media would be the one big factor omitted in my opinion. Thanks!
yet again more amazing content, thank you dude :)
this happened because we have no real self defence laws and due to that any form of defensive tool, what's the point in self defence when we cant fight of an attacker. if i was to get run up on in the streets rn and i fought back when the police get there wed both be charged. the uk has taught its people to be scared to stand up for themselves and so no one does and no one has anything to defend themselves with either. which is stupid because criminals don't care if a knife is illegal they will carry it anyway and use it anyway, so why do we the public need to walk about with no form of protection whilst criminals do what they want anyway and when or if they do go to stab us were just allowed to use fists, even a legal carry like a swiss army knife would get you charged if you used it back in self defence against someone literally trying to take your life with the same weapon. give us proper self defence rights and laws, and its simple allow everyone to be able to defend themselves with everyday carry weapons, such as 6 round revolvers for public carry, pump or barrel fed shotguns for home defence, switchblade for public carry. none of these weapons hold enough ammo or power to cause mass shootings the reload time after those 6 rounds are fired is way to long for anyone to practically use it for mass shootings same with shotguns, and guess what we can regulate what ammo is available to the public ie keep it to standard rounds in revolvers and only alow birdshot and buck shot for shotguns. and now imagine everyone has self defences right and the means to defend themselves and so people take robbing, raping and killing people a whole lot more serious because now the criminals dont know what we have a gun or a knife they have no clue. so you see people would double think doing these things in public. Obviously when you mix giving your country no self defence rights, laws or even the means to defend themselves against knife crime with also cutting pensions upping the prices for essentials and taxing us up our arses with no return when we are suffering this is what you'll get. its very simple our governments just not that smart.
people forget that a gun is a survival tool just like a knife is a survival tool. it shouldn't be so taboo the thought of defending your own life. especially when guns are the only reason people feel so free today.

Around 20:00 you talk about immigration and it's relation to crime, and I think you leave out a very important fact.
In Sweden for example, the non-eu imigrants are more likely to commit violent crimes than sweden-born people with swedish parents. But the worst group is the sweden-born people with non-eu born parents, especially parents from Middle East and North Africa.
So we'll probably experience the results of the huge amount of people from ME/NA, that fled to Sweden around 2015, when their children becomes teenagers.
and coincidentally "in Sweden, the at-risk-of-poverty rate between 2013 and 2023 was highest among citizens born outside of the EU. It usually lay between 30 and 40 percent. The rates were significantly lower for people born in the EU or in Sweden, between 15 and 20 percent and around 11 percent, respectively."
For sure, it will be similar as hell, and it seems that it's on that way already.
That's because their parents have fled there with fuck all so that the kids are far less well off than their peers - it's inequality as a root cause yet again.
@@olliestudio45 You can't chalk EVERYTHING up to poverty. There is a pressing issue of people from the MENA region not integrating into Western European society.

These videos are so well researched and put together and dare I say seem balanced. Always learn something insightful from JTG
I am always interested in the perspective from across the pond when in comes to this issue. I have absolutely no idea having never been there
Imma yank that loves your vids. As a Yank we obviously have our own issues with crime and violence over here as well quite famously. But alot of people on our side of the pond have also been talking about Britians knife crime (mostly through memes if we're being honest) and I also knew about Glasgow and how the stats dont even tell half the story at the turn of the 20th into the 21st century Scotland was the most dangerous country in the entirety of the EU per capita! But like you said in the video community action and not just throwing more money at the police did the trick and crime overall went down. In the US poverty, lack of community, lack of upward mobility, mental illness, drugs and drug abuse all stew into the big pot that is crime of all types.
Also as a Non-white guy Im also glad it didnt turn into a "lets blame all the problems of society on minorities" which is sadly very common these days. Keep up the great docs bro.
Love your work! Brilliant analysis of a complex issue once again! Bravo! Please keep the vids coming and I'll keep sharing them (especially with those who incorrectly think the causes are obvious and the solutions simple).
I got arrested on suspicion of possessing a bladed article. I was homeless at the time and fell asleep in a graveyard. Someone called the police and I got woken up to two officers saying "what's your name?". Given that they'd literally just woken me up, I wasn't in the most cooperative mood. I said "do I need to tell you my name if I'm not under arrest?" and he said "put your hands behind your back, you're under arrest". This shocked me, especially when he said it was for possession of a bladed article. Turns out it was because a Stanley knife I'd got for a pound from pound land had fallen out my pocket onto the grass. I was using it to cut string to make a makeshift tent because I was sleeping in the park. They took me in for 8 hours before releasing me 5 miles from where they picked me up without pressing charges and without a lift back. Whilst I was in custody they refused to give me my medication with my name clearly printed on it because "that could be anything in there mate, you could've tampered with it", and they also unravelled my entire ball of string before giving it back to me, the spiteful bastards. I had to throw it away it was so knotted. Never even threatened anyone, never mind committed a stabbing.
That said, I had a knife held to my throat in a robbery when I was homeless, by a well known local scumbag. He'd set out to rob homeless people knowing there were no consequences
After it happened to 3 or 4 friends I decided enough was enough. I knew where he lived and his full name, but the police wouldn't let me make a report without givibg my full name, which could very well have gotten me killed. So he got to carry on.
If you think this doesn't disproportionately affect the poor I don't know what to tell you.
Thanks for sharing, I don't understand this though:
'the police wouldn't let me make a report without givibg my full name, which could very well have gotten me killed'
Why could that have gotten you killed? Couldn't you have used a fake name?
You’re a legend this needs way more views, amazing video
I remember in 2010 when I was a teen, me and friends would also get stop and searched regularly. It use to be so annoying.

Have you seen the knife crime in Glasgow? What immigrants are responsible for that? How about poverty as a cause....?
@@paulitoLdn Glasgow has a lot of foreign gangs... What the fuck are you on about?
@@danke1150historically, it didn't. It was sectarian...still is
The stabbings are sad but what's seemingly WAY worse are the child grooming gangs UK police ignored for years. That's legitimately terrifying. Either way, things are not trending in a good direction but it seems people's lives need to get a lot worse before any major change happens.
Think about the children
Unfortunately, nothing will change. Historically, we British do exactly nothing. We simply put up with whatever the ruling elite inflict on us. And they decided to abandon our city streets to the criminals. And now Labour has let all the criminals that they locked up five minutes ago free. The result will be a tsunami of crime. But that's okay. They'll be safe in their leafy shires or their gated communities
Oh, they didn't just ignore the grooming gangs. They were covering up for them, keeping the parents away from the abducted children and police officers were gladly r**ing the kids themselves. I've lived in UK for over six years. There are many things I like about the country, especially the elderly. Old time Brits are the most wonderful people in the world. But the system, the youth culture, the law, the justice system, the police and the protected class of third world immigrants makes me sick to my stomach I can't imagine living there anymore.
Diversity and inclusivity - what a great success that is.
That's spot on, especially when gang members do things for elders a slang term for a veteran gang member most of the time these young people are groomed into a lifestyle given to them by the older gang members. And because there's less mid tier business that used to fill the high street there's less opportunity so most of the time these young people end up in parks outside sweets shops etc where they're picked up by a gang member and groomed into a lifestyle.

There is nothing new in knives being carried as weapons. Humans have carried sharp implements for thousands of years, both as means of attack and defence and also to help them cook and consume food. Knives are a type of tool and like many tools they can double up as a weapon. If you look back to the 60's and 70's you will see that the carrying of knives and razors was fairly common among certain types of people. It was often seen as being tough and was very common among street gangs. This isn't anything new, it's merely the continuation of people carrying weapons as they always have done. We are predators after all is said and done, and we lack the natural weapons of most predators.
Especially those imported from more tribal cultures...

@@SenGriffen If whites are 82% of the population they should commit 82% of knife possession crimes and if non whites are 18% of the population they should commit 18% of knife possession crimes. But that's not the case , whites only commit 68% whilst non whites commit 32%, meaning that non whites are overrepresented in knife crime, meaning more non whites on average compared to the rest of their race are more likely to carry knives compared to white people compared to their race. It's very simple.
I think it's dangerous of you to frame this as an issue of ethnicity being the problem rather than crime being a consequence of poverty and inequality.

You see capitalism as a cause for young ones turning to crime, but in Sweden Malmo young refugees refused job offerings because they could make more money by selling drug. That is just one case but I'm confident that simple and fast shortcuts are why they turn to it. Culture enters the discussion here when someone's philosophy is to hustle and do it at all costs for their good, they consequently lack the foresight to see the society, especially one that they do not feel belong to.
When did capitalism stop existing in Sweden? Its semi Socialist but still has private market and a tradition of both xenophobia and eugenics... Should maybe look into the why behind some of the other stats there, like why the lower birth rates of children with conditions they can spot in utero..... There are more socio-economic than ethnicity based culture influences factoring into the larger equation than most want to accept.

You've literally described a problem caused by capitalism. If someone makes the decision to turn to crime to make more money, there's almost every chance that they can't make enough to support themselves on a legitimate wage, or have crippling debts or toxic expectations to live up to. How people can miss this stuff while talking about it all in the same breath is absurd. You need to re read your own comment and get a clue.

Random small giggle in a serious video.... 2:45 there is a few legit dinner/salad forks in the bin of knives. Were they taken while arresting that one dude for his "succulent Chinese meal?" 😅 More sincerely though, this is why you should always double check and question statistics. They are just numbers, and can be easily misrepresented or construed to support whatever goal is preferred. Like here the focus isn't on the 90% decrease in stabbings in NYC, its on the negligible increase of London (yes its a bit high, but arguably has been since my youth. I'm Canadian and remember 07/08 being far more newsworthy for Britt knifings. That's a good 15+ yrs at a concerning but steady rate, no major spikes though or continuous rising from outsider POV). But because we associate NYC with big crime numbers we falsely fill in the intentional variable they left unknown. They are using your 6th grade aversion to algebra to their advantage by simply rearranging the numbers enough to mislead without using blatant lies. It’s misreporting done intentionally with the benefit of plausible deniability.

"It's not race or foreign culture, it's inequality."
"So what happens if we import hundreds of thousands of really unequal people?"
"What about Mexico - they are religious and they have strict laws..." - Are you playing daft? It doesn't matter what laws you have, if you don't enforce them. What about El Salvador, is the question you should be asking. They somehow reduced their murder rate drastically. Must have some spectacular long term integration social programs in the good old El Salvador.
He says its inequality and then deliberately aggregates disparate groups together to prove a point, in other ways he is playing fast and loose with statistics as well despite claiming others are doing so.
El Salvador is an authoritarian and borderline fascist state. They addressed the problem of gang violence by imprisoning tens of thousands of people without trial. That doesn't tackle the underlying causes of crime, nor does it represent a fair and functional justice system.
Jamaica is consistantly in the top 5 murders per capita and is often No1 or No2 in the world.
We imported loads of them and now have loads of murders... must be inequality.

Firstly, I'd like to congratulate you on putting together a very entertaining video. Certainly stimulates a conversation.
I agree with the issue being nuanced, but I also think you've understated the weight that culture has an effect.
You mention culture in relation to consumerism and status (I'm sure it has some effect) but neglect to mention a growing number of people's complete lack of value cohesion.
I don't think it has anything to do with race whatsoever, it is 'culture'. We now have glorified strippers and drug dealers posing as artists, selling us fashion on JD Sports ads. We completely glorify sex and violence and condescendingly boast how this is a contributing factor to multi-culturalism. I wish people understood the word 'DISPROPORTIONATE'. According to the UK 2021 census, 4.2% of England is black but let's take London; 13% of London is black. Half of those are women and even less so are children and elderly. So let's say 6% are fully grown men. 6% of the population make up 45% of London's knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators, and 53% of knife crime perpetrators. That is 8, 9, and 10 times the amount (respectively) that they are represented in the population. This means they are DISPROPORTIONATELY committing more knife crime, yet are only 2.2 times more likely to be stopped and searched. You could make the argument that the police's crippling fear of being called racist has led to people not being searched enough.
On the subject of stop and search, it is not racist to stop someone in a high knife crime area that presents themself in a way that warrants a search. Even if they were white. If you were in a lift and a well-dressed black guy in a suit walked in, you are much less likely to tightly grip your belongings than if a scruffy white guy walked in wearing dirty baggy clothes, stinking of weed. You could argue it is a class issue. But let me tell you; if a bunch of grannies were stabbing people in Bingo halls, I would want the police to search grannies walking into bingo halls. We have lost all common sense.
While I agree income and environment are clear factors; for example, a Nigerian family in Berkhamstead with an upper-middle class income is far less likely to commit or be a victim of knife crime committed by a white person from the inner city. This actually leads me to my next point. Immigration...
in 2020, 1.3 million foreign-born nationals were claiming benefits. This was from a total of 10 million foreign-born nationals in the UK at the time. That is 13% of the foreign-born nationals. That is a substantial number which doesn't factor in their children as many of them were born in the UK. So a significant number of people coming to the country, not economically contributing and being funded by the tax-payer to live in the same places that these knife crimes are taking place. Many have no interest in assimilating or finding work. Many come here because they can easily take it without any questions, and can cry victim if anyone has anything to say about it. I don't blame them by the way. It is a pure failure of government. Not all immigrants are like this, of course but it begs the question: why are we letting in people that will be dependent on the state as soon as they arrive? How does that benefit us? I say all of this to make the point, if you feel you have no roots here, no sense of heritage and values that you have inherited, always see everything in the lens of race, the haves and the have-nots, the 'I don't have what I want so I will just take it and let white middle-class lefty students blame white people for some reason or other rather than the full-grown adult committing a crime'. Scores and scores of Albanian drug dealers with their Turkish barbers and candy shops as fronts to launder money. Moped crime becoming so rampant that it has become a social norm not to wear a watch in London anymore.
We don't shame this behaviour. We don't shame bad decisions, we instead opt for empathy. Empathy shouldn't always be applied by the way. We don't do it for nonces or r*pists, and rightfully so. Yet, we used to shame bad behaviour. We used to shame thievery, anti-social behaviour, promiscuity etc. Now we 'only' focus on the socio-economic factors.
It isn't race, its culture.
...And our spinelessness to enforce the law even if it means that the arrest rates are disproportionate to the representation in the population. Its like we want equality in crime too. Its ridiculous.
Many of you won't bother reading this. Its mainly a rant but I genuinely enjoyed the video. Jimmy does some belters.
youns do good to disambiguate intersections of class, race and ethnicity broski.
Good video as usual bro
Thanks for this! Great analysis👏
Import savages and you import savage methods.
Did you watch the video?
16:32 This is why Khan is still mayor
Apologies in advance for the essay but this was a good video, it deserved the like. You raised some good points and you looked deeply into it without resorting to slogans but I do have some comments.
Glasgow is an anomaly. Knife crime, violent crime and sexual crime, particularly against women is all rising in the multiculturally diverse European cities like London, Birmingham, Paris, Marseille, Malmo, Berlin who have all taken huge numbers of immigrants in the last 20 years. Look at a crime index of Europe and then see how homogeneous the ethnic populations are.
I don't think this is at all about skin colour, an infant of any race will see and learn from what is in their environment equally. I think this is about culture, religion and ethical values and how we've allowed millions of people to come to this continent who fundamentally do not share the same beliefs about life, family, equality, law and order. I have worked in the asylum system doing housing maintenance in Yorkshire for 2 years and I've seen these values first hand and how they directly feed into existing communities, particularly Muslims as these people come from parts of the world where Islam is dominant, unquestionable and sadly, far truer to what is said in the Quran and Hadiths. To put it simply, they have often have more extremist views.
We also have to remember the biggest security threat to the West is radical Islamism currently, and as successful attack in Moscow and the failed suicide bombing plan in Belgium at a Taylor Swift concert show they are trying to step up the scale again. Yet we allow undocumented men to come from areas which have enormous problems with terrorism and extremism. You might also have noticed the revival of sectarian politics again in the UK last election, with Muslim pressure groups funding campaigns in certain areas.
And this is not just a UK problem, it's a problem for Europe too, and we've seen countries like Poland and Hungary defy EU threats and sanctions to close their borders and are refusing to take any more undocumented asylum seekers. The Netherlands is probably going to same route and if the right continues to rise then France and Germany will start to head towards that direction. More and more are waking up to this.
The constantly moving paper animation behind the stats totally fucks with my eyes bro, other than that, thanks very much for the dive.
Excellent video
This comments section is mad. London has had gangs of kids going back centuries. Its like goddam Dickens's
Also the murder and stabbing capital of the UK is Glasgow, which is 97% WHITE, but they never talk about that
Mate, just look at the trends. Yes we've had gangs for years but the scale has been moved up rapidly and the people committing crimes have changed too.
@@bigmanmichael3807 Isn't there a TV show called peaky blinders. It's not like you expected the gangs to still be like that right?
Yea but they had a criminal code and some sort of honour system right up until the kray era , the " urban youth " gangsters of today are just worthless
@@simonmarshall3869 No I'm not referrencing peaky blinders. I'm referrencing actual history. My family made their money through the criminal underworld back then but that was about dodgy deals, avoiding tax and ignoring regulations. We didn't have this drug fueled stabbings as common place, they still helped communities. I'm not a fan of any crime but the pure lying about it's always been like this is just tripe
As a fortysomething lifelong loner who cut his teeth on the original GTA I can confirm I immediately started stabbin mself after playing the game
Despite making up only 13% of London’s total population, black Londoners account for 45% of London’s knife murder victims, 61% of knife murder perpetrators and 53% of knife crime perpetrators.
Same in usa.. its sad man.
🤓
blacks gonna black
but dont start to see pattern,s or you will be called racist. connecting the dots is really really bad you know ;)
Because crime is their culture.
This is such an important topic. I live in the United States, and the move against research backed information and toward willful ignorance is shocking to me.
kislux You are so well-informed about luxury accessories and bags. You've obviously done your due diligence and the comparison to the US is very informative...because of course, I live in New York. thank you very much.
