Oh. I'll suddenly start caring then. Infact, no, I won't.

Theresa May could get the St. Andrews cross out tomorrow and burn it and I couldn't give a f**k. It's a flag. People who get worked up about flags are for the watching.

What about the people that pass public diktat about what flags must be flown from particular buildings on every specific day of the year?

Couldn't give a f**k about them either.

Is there something about my views that you're struggling with here? I'd have thought I was pretty clear.

You're right. What a bunch of nationalistic tossers.

If you’re being serious, which I’m still unsure of, then that’s the most pathetic post I’ve ever read on this site.

Tragic.

82% of Scots identify as Scottish not British.  And funnily enough the British government has been trying to do exactly that to scottishness  for years without a cheep from raging wee britnat like you.

Who did you vote for in the last Scottish elections?

Crime statistics: Violent crime and sex offences 'rising'

Couldn't be anything to do with those thousands of coppers they let go in England and Wales, could it?

Amazingly enough fire deaths are up by 15% after they cut firefighters by 15%.  Who would have thunk it.  Tories are great.

Fire away with what? Explanations for crime?
Huge Societal/global factors- poverty, culture etc
Political factors- such as the justice approach
Economic factors at both a micro and macro level
Situational factors- opportunity, cctv etc.

Multiple, complex, multi layered influences on crime affecting both individuals and the wider population.

Apportioning it simply to police numbers is farcical.

Sorry, I thought you were saying you knew better.  If you don't know you should just say so.

I didn't say that crime was simply down to police numbers, chum.
