It's no joke – Liverpool is now one of the safest cities to live in.
After decades of gags about Scouse scallies, figures show that London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Sheffield all have more burglaries and car crimes per person. Among big cities in England only Newcastle is safer, according to the UK Statistics Authority. The figures, disclosed by the government in response to a Parliamentary Question by Tory MP Philip Hollobone, show offences across all of England’s police forces. They reveal that violent attacks are also twice as common in London than in the area patrolled by Merseyside police. Geordies, Mancunians and Brumies are also much less likely to be assaulted than those living the capital. Overall, just 10 people in a thousand on Merseyside were burgled in 2011/12, with six in a thousand the victim of car crime. Londoners are 20% more likely to be burgled - and more then twice as likely to suffer from motor offences. Greater Manchester also suffers 20% higher rates of burglary than in the Liverpool area - and a third higher reported “offences against vehicles”. West Midlands Police, covering England’s second city Birmingham, also reports higher levels of burglary and car crime than Liverpool - with 10% more home break-ins per person and 50% more car crime. West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire Police, covering Leeds and Sheffield, also suffer in comparison to Merseyside. In West Yorkshire 13 people in a thousand suffer burglaries - 30% higher than in the Liverpool area. South Yorkshire residents meanwhile are 50% more likely to be broken into. Car crime in both areas is also higher. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...o-live-1401463 "violent attacks are also twice as common in London than in the area patrolled by Merseyside police" "Londoners are 20% more likely to be burgled - and more then twice as likely to suffer from motor offences." Is anyone surprised by stats like those two when people like BrotherLeon live in the Capital?? |

Just hope that the match isn't against a team from London or Manchester sick of those scallies coming down here and ruining our fine reputation amongst the public
