amazed there were so few
judging by media reports you'd think there were thousands and the country was in a state of anarchy

|
|
By:
but whats jordan and peter andre up to?
|
|
By:
there are probably quite a few not on the tally as well
|
|
By:
2 per day among 60 million is tiny
|
|
By:
dont think there were 64 when i was a kid.....i assume many manslaughter cases arnt included ...which are in effect murders.....so add few hundred more.......+medical science probably saved a few hundred as well..........
|
|
By:
tell the 648 families ,there were so few canary you tw@t
|
|
By:
no idea why i'd want to do that lol
but cheers for the advice |
|
By:
in america there was 2 million
so 648 against 2 million can't be bad! |
|
By:
2 million murders? That can't be right.
|
|
By:
strange childhood crediter - memorising numbers of murders. However I agree with you - defo not 64.
|
|
By:
16000 out of 300000 million
so 5 times worse than us |
|
By:
lol 300 million
|
|
By:
where on earth did he get a figure of 2 million from? it is so obviously way over the top you'd have thought he would have questioned it.
|
|
By:
i simply lied
however murder rate per 100,000 for usa is 5.4 and for uk it's 2.03 so 1620 people were murdered in usa last year |
|
By:
16000 you mean?
|
|
By:
Turkey is 6.23 per 100,000
more interestingly is for Scotland it's 2.13 for England and Wales it's 1.37 |
|
By:
2 million is nearly 1% of the population, within 50 years they would be nearly wiped out!
|
|
By:
yea soz
|
|
By:
that's ok, it made me chuckle, was it wishful thinking?
|
|
By:
well to be honest, I was merely emphasizing the fact that America has such a high rate for a civilized country
|
|
By:
over emphasizing it would be fair to say
|
|
By:
you ought to work for the tax office
|
|
By:
doesn't matter
but America is the first "civilized" country on the list for murder rates, is it because guns are legalised? |
|
By:
quite right munch man, perhaps I'll apply one day ;)
|
|
By:
partly because of guns are partly because certain areas are poverty stricken and partly because of many other things
|
|
By:
munchman, i'm not looking to get into a political discussion if you were a tory
can I ask who you vote for? if you do |
|
By:
the time before last I voted labour, the last time I didn't vote at all, next time I'm voting tory. the truth is, I hate them all and think they're all greedy shysters.
|
|
By:
you sure the tory's aren't going to make it worse?
|
|
By:
yes, it can't be worse as far as i'm concerned, the country has gone to the dogs. i'm disgusted with the labour government that i once voted for.
|
|
By:
it can't get worse poverty-wise, are you sure?
|
|
By:
no, im not sure of course. but i'm an old man and i have never before seen such greed, incompetence, wastefulness and a complete lack of morals. these last two years of browns premiership have been abysmal and i haven't agreed with a single thing he has done. in fact i would go as far to say that i think he has gone mad.
|
|
By:
ok, i'll leave it at that, as I said before, I didn't really fancy a political discussion tonight
so sorry if you replied the last comment because I asked |
|
By:
how many people could have been lifted out of poverty if two trillion quid hadn't been**ed down the drain? i don't buy into all this 'started in america' or global banking crisis' nonsense. he was at the helm to look after our interests and the deregulation policies he championed together with bankers greed has caused all this mess imo.
|
|
By:
i didn't agree with the 200 billion of QE either. and the lies about britain being uniquely placed to ride out the recession. for uniquely placed i think we should read uniquely placed worst.
|
|
By:
I can't agree with your last comment munchman, because all countries rely on exports and imports, so if you have a few countries that are f*cked then the import/export rate gets imbalanced and starts affecting every country
so the recession is a world/global problem, it had absolutely nothing to do with Blair |
|
By:
I think you might find that the UK is one of the cheapest countries out of the "civilised" EU i.e. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Norway, etc
|
|
By:
people do 5 years at university to understand economics
seems like we have a nation of economics who get their education from tabloid newspapers |
|
By:
it might well be a global problem, but one that was quite easy to foresee imo and, as britains chancellor and premier, he bloody well should have seen it coming and positioned our country in a more favourable footing. instead, evrything he has done before, during and after the meltdown has made things worse imo. he has put himself before the country for short term popularity.
