Topic: High Crimes in UK London what is the problem ? (Read 113 times)

Some people will tell you it is about the wave of immigrants which move to the United Kingdom and stay there, most of them are peaceful and working, though there will be always some bad seeds among them. Others will point out the economy as a whole and how it is forcing both nationals and foreigners to turn into crime for the sake of survival. It is a very biased topic; but solution to it is necessary. No doubt about it.


I am sorry to read that friend of you went through such a horrible thing.
At least, I assume he survived, though. In the European countries, because of the lack of guns and ammo, and because of how difficult it can be for the average citizens to get access to guns, people who are mentally unwell and have feelings on inflicting harm on others then resort to weapon and means which cannot be easily regulated by the goverment of the law enforcement agencies, knives being the quickest and easiest choice for them to pick up. I recall an specific case about a young United States citizen living in the United Kingdom who had a shotgun properly registered to his name, and chose to become a mass murderer, shooting without reason to random people on the street, after murdering his own mother. It is very scary.

I've always heard that UK, is a civilized society and people are well behaved there, it's a pity that we're hearing of violent crimes in these so called civilized societies, I'll want to agree with some views that have been shared on this topic that the problems can be attributed to the influx of immigrants into UK, because the economy guarantees a better standard of living, many people will think that you'll be instantly rich when you go there, and if it doesn't happen as planned, some of them or their offsprings will take to crime to succeed. However violent crimes are not perculiar to the UK and the US, it's a global issue, it's even worse in developing and underdeveloped countries.

I agree. Every place has its own issues whether it's physical problems or the stuff we carry in our minds. It's a common thing worldwide because people are dealing with challenges wherever they are. Fixing things might need different approaches based on the place, but it's clear we all have our share of struggles

Many blame Muslim Mayor, Sadiq Khan for the increase in crime in London during his tenure as Mayor. Increased immigration plays a big part too. Has anybody ever been to London, it is full of low value immigrants. I went there once in the 80’s & when I returned in 2018 it was like a different city. London has fallen, I feel sorry for the Brits.
Obviously a multi-cultural city isn’t a bad thing but their borders are not under control, more & more non-skilled workers are going to Europe all the time, in search of free welfare. Big European cities are struggling with increases in crime due to uncontrolled immigration with violent, uneducated third worlders arriving.

How about knife crimes in UK? A friend of mine was stabbed from hip in 2021, I hope that it will decrease soon

We cannot fix the entire world the same time, UK is known to be more peaceful than US, but that doesn't mean they both don't have their kind of  unpeaceful circumstances that surrounds them, some may be the physical one while other ones may be from within our minds, you will find out that this same problem is what is very common to almost every part of the earth where you discover people with many challenges from where they are living.

This is the problem when you open your doors to immigrants without good plans to provide for them. The Covid 19 affected the health sector of the UK, hence there is a need to increase the number of health workers. The country is also experiencing skilled workers shortage in other areas and they also need immigrants to fill these positions. But it seems that the government didn't make adequate preparations to receive these immigrants and it is now clear that they are overwhelming almost all the basic sectors in the country.

I don't also blame the UK government because the global economy is not prospering and they are also financing wars. But I think these crimes will gradually reduce as the government takes the needed actions. The government have restricted immigration and they will now focus on the number they already have. Maybe in a few months, most of these criminals will be apprehended and the streets of the UK will be purged of these menace.

I personally think that crimes will always be ever present and one country can never go without it even if all needs of a citizen are met there is will always be greed to gain more hence the crimes

Unfortunately crimes are considered normal in almost every country we see these cases in my country as well what the government can do is implement stricter rules and be vigilant in arresting criminals

It seems like what you mentioned above is a common crime that occurs throughout the world, not only in England, even in our country crimes like that also occur. After I read in more detail what you wrote, it seems like it is because of the algorithm, the habit that you watch on YouTube and TikTok will recommend similar videos, because on the TikTok and YouTube homepage I never see anything like that, instead what appears is European culture, fair laws in Europe, the beauty of Europe and other things. because my search and viewing history is the joy of life in Europe. but maybe I'm wrong, hopefully someone living in the UK can confirm this. Is it chaos there or is it business as usual?

Is it possible we are going to have some xenophobic attack in UK just like it has been happening in South Africa and other countries that feel foreigners have come to take over their jobs. Well, I'm sure there is hardly any peaceful country without violence and the situation in UK is still in normal balance for the government to handle.

However, I'm also aware that some professionals like those citizens in medical field still find their way out to work in more highly paying countries.

Is the problem are equality of wealth ?
No Wondering this becouse cost of living and expenses are out of balance.
I watched videos on Youtube a lot violant crimes have been happening in London and across UK
The people who watch UK crime and track the crimes in UK there is Those criminals who been involved in crimes In insurance fraud and all the other type of not violant crimes they now been turned into violant Crimes.
Despite cameras everywhere in UK there still a lot violant crimes and robberies on day light.
It's a sign that not easy times even for scamers and con artists in UK so they choose violant Crimes.

Same thing with USA and UK ...they try to fix the world but their own people not doing well.

I Wonder If the wealthy ones really want to live in UK i saw the video like in London someone was try to rob bucati....well that's soon only places to be wealthy are dubai and Monaco.

The Youtube is fulll of videos UK crimes and even uk jail tik tok shows.
Im not from UK does UK prisoners use internet ?

We clearlry see that UK crimes are huge recent times and not safe at all.
That's why goverment and Banks need to figure out ways to make life the way that nobody dont need to kill others for money.
UK situation are now so bad and even the mobsters might get robbed by not mobsters but just from the guys who try to live.

But the job situation is out of contest young person in UK how he can Ever afford Normal life that's impossible.
