Nottingham and Norfolk police both reported such crimes as down on the week before the Referendum and othe forces reported similarly. Figures this week here are in line with any other week in the year. Corbin stood up somewhere last week and made a speech about race hate crime going up. Dont they ever tell the truth? And there's always someone out there who believes them.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-83304968389974338052016-07-06T04:08:47.786-07:002016-07-06T04:08:47.786-07:00Hardly a week goes by without a shooting in Vienna...Hardly a week goes by without a shooting in Vienna.

If it was a ...That would have been a 'her'. If it was a 'him', then he would have made his sex known by pulling a gun from under the cloth.<br /><br />I think you may find that if gun-licence applications are up by 400%, then it will be for shotguns, not firearms. These sort of statistics can be easily manipulated for political purposes, and may have an entirely different cause - like good weather, for instance. I know many people with shotguns, and in no way do they see them as weapons - they are sporting equipment.<br /><br />With regard to statistics, it was on the news that inter-racial hate crime incidents have rocketed since the Brexit vote - or so it seemed.<br /><br />The situation was explained away by a policeman, who siad the the REPORTING of hate-crime had risen, not the crimes themselves. There could be any reason for this, not just what appears to be obvious.<br /><br />Security has always been an industry, and DIY will not take over until the police relax gun-laws to the extent whereby any madman can legally own one. They are getting tighter, not slacker, and now you need a pshological profile report from a doctor to hand in with your application.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-11757026375646175082016-07-06T03:20:33.477-07:002016-07-06T03:20:33.477-07:00Some random thoughts on security.

I was in a bank this morning and there was a person waiting next to me dressed from head to toes in black with a one inch slit for his or her eyes. A policeman died yesterday having been shot at the scene of an armed robbery in a supermarket not far away from the same location. Firearms permit applications are up 400% on last year they said on the news this morning. EU people are taking security seriously. It's the EU's new DIY industry.
