I call Fake News on this BBC report:
Gun crime in London increases by 42%
That is not possible because in England it is illegal for anyone but government to possess a firearm, except for extremely limited exclusions. And everyone who understands how criminals think knows that if it is illegal for them to possess a firearm, they won't possess one, because it's the law.
Here is the Fake News report:
Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.
The Met Police's figures showed there were 2,544 gun crime offences from April 2016 to April 2017 compared to 1,793 offences from 2015 until 2016.
Knife crime also increased by 24% with 12,074 recorded offences from 2016 to 2017.The Met said although crime rates were rising they remained at a much lower level than five years ago.
Scotland Yard registered annual rises across a number of serious offence categories in the past 12 months, following several years of falls.
The total number of offences during the 2016 to 2017 financial year was 774,737, an increase of 4% from the previous year when total offences stood at 740,933.
Knife crime offences that resulted in an injury also increased, by 21% to 4,415 from 2016 to 2017, compared to 3,663 offences the year before.
See, that's ridiculous! If evil-doers can't get a gun - and they can't, because guns are illegal in England - it is foolish to think they will use some other weapon, such as a knife, to commit crimes. What kind of fools does BBC think we are to fall for false reporting like that?
Unless we consider, of course, "complex social reasons." Of course.
