    Britain’s Office for National Statistics this week reported a 13 percent crime increase from the previous year in England and Wales. The report says the uptick “reflects a range of factors,” including an increase in incidents, improvements to how crimes are recorded and more victims coming forward. The report does not mention Islam.

    Early Friday morning, Trump tweeted: “Just out report: ‘United Kingdom crime rises 13% annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror.'” It was not clear what source Trump was quoting, as that line does not appear in the report.

    Another thing is the police don’t investigate crime. New think shoplifting unless over £50 will not be investigate. Somebody breaks into your home and many times the police don’t come. Get rammed in the rear unless injury police don’t come. Mayour Giuliani said if you stop the some crimes the big crimes will fall, and in England don’t investigate the small crimes because we have no time.

    Of course Trump says it how it is, but England needs to hide the truth out of fear of hurting the culprits feelings.
