Yeah, the government that let the strets go rampant with crime, that they don't even bother tracking anymore, is concerned about the people's "online safety"...

I always hear this but it seems to mostly be made up? Like yeah, there’s crime in London, but less than in most European or American cities… seems like a narrative that keeps being pushed without merit

I live in London and I can tell you no, it isn't mostly made up.

The crime rates in other places is irrelevant if the city you've lived in for the last 20 years has become noticeably more dangerous.

This is not "a narrative that keeps being pushed without merit", in fact the people who dismiss such claims are often the ones who live very insulated lives.

I haven’t personally noticed London getting any more dangerous over the past 10 years that I’ve lived here.

I've been here 26 years this time (and a couple of years before that) and similarly not noticed it getting noticeably more dangerous.

(on the caveat side, I am a fairly hefty white bloke who apparently "looks scary" which might explain things.)
