Only difference now is the influx of people 40 years behind the UK and its morality compass.

That is why it's important to mention those people, because in the main it is they who are causing the statistics.

You are just piling myths on top of each other now.

Belts did not stop because of some posh MP having a tantrum. They stopped because hitting kids is cruel, lazy, and does not work. That is why every serious system dropped it.

The idea that everything was fine before that is fantasy. Violence existed. Abuse existed. It was just hidden better and kids were too scared to speak.

What changed is not discipline. What changed is support disappearing. Fewer staff. Bigger classes. No specialist provision. No backup when things go wrong. That is where the problem is.

And then you slide back to blaming migrants. Again. With no data. Just resentment. Saying those people does not make it analysis. It makes it obvious.

If migrants were the cause, the stats would clearly show it. They don’t. You just like the story because it lets you avoid harder answers.
