The OP said in the Western Hemisphere. Thought it was in the Americas since Europe is in the Eastern Hemisphere. But did some checking and it seems part of Europe does fall in the Western Hemisphere. Ebola it also means the current Ebola outbreak happened in the Western hemisphere.

Please stop saying trend because its making you look like a fool. Its not a trend unless over that period it went up to a peak or downward to nothing. 4.5 murders a year out of 808 is such an insignificant number there are hardly any confirmed cases of racially aggravated murder.

I love how you say "there are many more you don't know about" you have no evidence there is more you just assume there is, and if there isn't you will try to pretend there is. What we do have evidence for is your bigotry and Anglophobia.

Your right in that "everyone else does it" isn't a way of justifying something bad. There is racism in the UK, we all know this and its embarrassing.

However whilst it doesn't justify racism in the UK it is important to look at these instance comparatively before going for an all out hatchet job against the UK.

You get varying degrees.

Oh absolutely!

The agreement is that the skeletons in the UK's closet where all the fault of the English; the Celtic nations where the first victims of English imperialism which means even after the union you guys don't have to take the blame.

In exchange for this we lay claim to all your great sportsman, writers and scientists who get called British instead of Scottish, Welsh or Irish. It's not that bad a set up for either side.

The question is why was such an argument been presented could it be stated that it also implies that Indians would be safer in Britain because they won't be murdered by fellow Indians, I see the white man's burden argument here


Personal safety, security of possessions, involvement in the political process, right to a fair trial, education prospects, freedom to work.

These are just some of the things I would be considering if I were to emigrate. Personal safety comes first on my list so it is what I would consider first. Not being dead is very important when it comes to taking advantage of those other things I'd like in my new nation.

My point is simple, statistically speaking an Indian is less likely to be murdered in the UK than in India so it is safer. Therefore, despite all your bitching and moaning about racially motivated murder in the UK, it isn't an argument against travelling to the west.


From that list Singapore, Algeria, Hong Kong ( Which is fucking awesome), Indonesia are better than Britain. There are more murders in the United states than in India, does that make the case of people from the USA should emigrate to India because India is safer for Americans than America ?

I am deducing everything from your own source

I don't think anybody here is claiming that people should move from X because Y is safer.

I think you are reading too much into what Fartsniffage is saying.

Have you yet made a post that isn't Anglophobe on this site? Two judges, just two so yes your argument has gotten stronger but 2 judges out of an entire establishment isn't too bad, there are always rotten apples in a bunch. Twice as many as one is still two, no matter how hard you drum it up

And this isn't even its final form!

The judge decided that the texts had nothing to do with the case. They were being charged with manslaughter, not a racially motivated attack.

*edit* Christ, It took me like, 3 seconds to find evidence of racist attacks in India. By your logic, do we get to declare all of India racist?

Well yes, crucial information if they were being charged with a racially motivated attack. They were charged with manslaughter.

According to a British agency of course it cannot, but the truth is that there is criminal negligence because the charged did not care about the life of a person from a different race
