    Either way knives have been removed from display in Swedish stores. Draw your own conclusion

    Nevermind Swedish home decor, actual 'men' have been removed from Sweden's largest rock festival following a string of sexual assault reports at other festivals in the country.

    It was announced that Bråvalla, Sweden's largest one, would not be taking place in 2018 after police received reports of four rapes and 23 sexual assaults at 2017's event. In future it will be 'man-free'.

    We do. Perhaps you should try getting your news from a range of different sources rather than the same one constantly telling you that dark skinned johnny foreigners are coming to get you.

    This is literally from a 2 second google search.

    The 36-year-old and his friend headed into the toilet of the filthy place before deciding to leave because the facilities were covered in faeces.

    But then the bar owner and a girl that worked there followed the group and chucked the corrosive liquid over them.

    http://www.euronews.com/2017/03/10/jail-term-doubled-for-hospital-chief-s-acid-attack-on-ex-lover
    A doctor who attacked his ex-lover with acid has had his jail term doubled by Hungary’s appeal court.

    Hungary’s public prosecutor’s office had initially dropped the charges against B.K, who is a relative of a prominent politician of the ruling Fidesz party.

    Not defending it, but it happens in other countries like Cambodia and Columbia too - I don't believe they have many Muslim immigrants?

    Yes happens in other third world countries (Columbia is largely a lawless state, but even there they have introduced 50yr sentences for this) 21st century London is now considered to be the acid attack capital of the world (per capita) and even NYC (inc The Bronx/Brooklyn) has lower (non-homicide) crime rates than London.

    No one there is safe from London's (gang related) moped crime gangs. London saw 16,000 moped attacks in 2017 while scooter-related crime is up 1,000 per cent in three years across the UK.

    Are Poland and Hungary third-world countries? And Stephen's argument was that it was caused by immigration from under-developed countries?

    Nope, do they have comparable levels to x500 or so acid attacks per year as the (8m) in London?

    Do they suffer 16,000 moped attacks (mainly robbery of the person) during 2017 on a population of just 8m, across their entire countries?



    // Also it may well have started via migrants from SE Asia (Bang/India/Pak), it does seems to have spread as any other multi-cultural trend may do. Not a valuble contribution however.

    No idea, but the original post I responded to said, "So if acid attacks aren't something that's being introduced by third world migrants then how come you only hear of acid attacks in the UK and other culturally enriched countries in the West and not countries which are overhimingly (SIC) homogenous like Poland and Hungary."

    There are some really good statistics at the link below which show that it is a crime perpetrated by men and women of all races. I think it paints a far more complex and worrying situation then "blame it on the immigrants, innit".

    The UK is far more multicultural than Hungry or Poland. In this globally new connected world - if just 10,000 moped attacks, or 300 acid attacks in 1yr occured in Warsaw, one would have read about it ny now.

    Yes it's likely to have been introduced by migrants, but indeed has become common place now among all variants of crime gangs now.

    All those gangs are going to get an awful shock next year with Brexit when the UK no longer has to be follow the EU Court of justice etc.
    I predict they’ll crap down massively on these gangs and hard, very hard.
    At least I hope so.

    There was 1 report, correct.

    But was there 294 AA's across Ireland (4.7) in 2017?
    (That's the comparable ratio of London's (8m) with 500 AA's).

    There's not many moped's in Ireland, and the thought of 10,000 or so (per annum) ratio of moped attacks on the person isn't a pleasent idea neither.

    Well the European court of human rights has a lot to blame for criminal rights. It’s been right there at the start of the softly softly approach toward criminals for fear of trampling on their human rights.

    Now imagine if Boris Johnson makes PM and does a hard Brexit.
    They’re no longer bound by the EU so if you want to attract visitors to the UK you want to guarantee their safety.
    It’s very easy . Major major crackdown on all gangs.
    Big prison sentences for scumbags and extreme predujice towards them.
    Of course this could have a negative impact if they took the same approach at the border we’re looking at.

    So you used the word "only" incorrectly. And the reference to homogeneous countries in Eastern Europe seems a little off seeing as how that appears to have been who did the attack here.

    Except the UK has fought very few cases in the European Court of Justice (less than 6 per year) and it tends to win them, so what would change exactly? And what big cases have criminal gangs won against the UK at the ECJ? Or are you perhaps thinking about the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) which has nothing to do with the European Union and more likely to hear cases in the context you're talking about?

    I dont see any difference between using a gun and throwing acid on someone.

    What are you basing this on? It seems to go against the facts of the actual incidents. They are often gang attacks. The targets are generally men. It is more often used in place of a weapon to commit a crime. The high profile cases have not been committed by men from the communities you refer to.

It is more often used in place of a weapon to commit a crime. The high profile cases have not been committed by men from the communities you refer to.

    You refer to only to some 'very recent incidents' and 'selective high profile' attacks. On what basis are you concuding that these attacks are:

    i) Over the last 5/10yrs, a homogeneous event and just a part and parcel of everyday 20th/21st century English heritage?
    ii) An established part and parcel of London's decades long cultural fabric?
    ii) Or otherwise traditionally a 'British thing'?

    Since the 1990s, Bangladesh has been reporting the highest number of attacks and highest incidence rates particularly for women, with 3,512 Bangladeshi people acid attacked between 1999 and 2013.

    In Pakistan and India acid attacks are at an all-time high and increasing every year. Although acid attacks occur all over the world, this type of violence is most common in South Asia. (CNN report from 2010).

    The UK has one of the highest rates of acid attacks per capita in the world, according to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI).

    In 2016 there were over 601 acid attacks in the UK based on ASTI figures. Over 1,200 cases were recorded over the past 5 years. From 2011-2016 there were 1,464 crimes involving acid or corrosive substance in London alone.

    According to researchers and activists, countries typically associated with acid assault include Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, China, United Kingdom, Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Ethiopia.

    As you can see a clear SE Asia trend, with the UK the only Western modern country that appears near the top of these lists. Just bad luck is it?

    Conviction rates as you know, are very low, and often unreported due to the specificly cowardly nature of the attacks.

    Are you denying there may be a casual link to the epicentre (Newham, 2017), which has a 'white british' population (projected for 2016) of just 13%.

    I think it emerged because knife crime was heavily targeted at the start of the last decade. Some gangs started using acid instead because there were legislative issues around prosecuting people for possessing it and using it was considered GBH rather than attempted murder. Now with the decimation of the police force by the tories, both knife crime and acid attacks have risen dramatically.

    Interesting that you completely ignored the other statistics I shared with you. Acid throwing is a gang-related crime and it is not one that is currently linked to any particular race in London.

    38% of Afro-Carribean, 32% are white, 6% are Asian, 2% are dark European, 1% and another 1% are Chinese/Thai etc. So the group you're trying to blame are one of the smallest group of perpetrators.

    Yes it's certainly 'spread' to the Afro-Carribean gangs in more recent years, thanks to the Torys cuts on policing.

    But that report (from the lefty BBC) looses all credibility at the end of the article - by directly associating this new phonenomon back to the Victorian age (which ended 117yrs ago).

    It also ignores all other social, historial, religious and cultural global context in relation to the emergence of AA's over the last decade (10yrs) in the UK.
    And no mention of the epicentre, and it's surrounds, which is Newham.

    Dr Harding (in the same article) says “The assailant may be wearing a mask, balaclava or moped helmet so [the victim] might not see them,”
    couple this with very low conviction rates, and there is a lot of unexplaned gaps, that they've filled in for themselves in that reports.

    The London Epicentres of this crime which are mainly SE Asian and Muslim. Very convenient, almost an agenda, to totally ignore this aspect.

    There is also no mention of the religious contextual aspect, all the Afro/Carribean gangs can't all be assumed to be Christian.
    Yemen is in Africa, so too Somalia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya etc.

    Seperate, but perhaps relative? Is that recent March 2018 figures of the prison population (E&W) shows a 200%
    increase of representation for non-whites at 26%. With 'crimes against the person' the largest crime factor.

    More worrying, is that Muslims, 'the religion of peace' now makes up 15% of the total prison population in Eng&Wales,
    - yet is only 4% of the total population?

    That's an actual clear over-representation of 375%. And a 8% increae since 2002.
    Again 'crimes against the person' are again the main causation for offences.

    Whilst it's important not to jump to conculsions.
    It's equally important to consider the cold hard facts, and also all wider contextual factors, before assuming judgement in either direction.

    You have been presented with cold, hard facts and you have decided to ignore them because they don't fit your agenda.

    Poor kid and poor mother.

    Glad here he is put but the damage to a large degree is done. I just hope Mother realise she is not at fault and never feels guilty for this act
