Lmfaooo. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey holding on for dear life as he dines in a Somali restaurant to stick it to Trump.
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen. �
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod Right and yours is worse as I said. Media reporting cites that London (Metropolitan Police + City of London) recorded ~ 16,344 knife crimes in the 12 months to March 2025, up from 14,939 the year before — an increase of roughly 9 %.
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod •According to Office for National Statistics (ONS) data for England and Wales: in the year ending March 2025, police recorded sexual offences rose ~ 11% compared with the previous year, and roughly 34% of those offences were classified as “rape.” Should I continue???
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod Go and look at all crime categories in the last 5, 10, 15, 20 years, then come back and tell me London is safer. It’s that simple. Cherry picked stats over check picked time periods won’t save you
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod ONS and statistical-oversight bodies caution that “police recorded crime”while useful for specific offences (e.g. knife crime, homicide, robbery) — is less reliable for long-term trend analysis, because changes in police practices, reporting, and recording can affect the numbers
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod There are plenty of other ONS sources out there. This is what I mean by cherry picking certain crimes over certain durations.
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod I have done my research, which is why I’m very comfortable. Safety/crime has many measurements, cherry picking one of them, over a specific period of time, is weak. Go and research what I suggested - you’ll be smarter for it. Come back with your findings. There’s a good boy.
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod The video highlights a drop in knife crime, in relation to the advert by Gervais. The video implies London is not an unsafe place. I pointed out it is unsafe. Cherry picked knife statistics do not represent the overall picture of crime/safety in London. I’m right, you’re wrong.
@MBEdits7@ItsAndyRyan@screenrotpod Then, compare various crimes vs the London we and our parents and grandparents grew up in, before being enriched with doctors and engineers.
