They could have found many better examples to illustrate mobile phone crime in London than:
Walking up a flight of stairs at Euston station with his mobile in his back pocket, he noticed he had been pick-pocketed when he reached the top.
We warn British people travelling to [other countries](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa/safety-and-security) about potential security concerns too.
Edit: our current advice for [Mexico](https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/mexico) is basically ‘don’t go’.
You’ll find similar warnings for any European tourist hotspot city
Is this the same crime rate that has been consistently dropping for years? That crime?
Having spent some time travelling across the world, this what I have observed:
– Petty crime is becoming rampant across the anglosphere – Shop lifting, pick pocketing, minor tax evasion (think cash in hand), mugging, theft.
– In most of south East Asia – petty crime is much, much lower.
Why do **I** think that is?
– Here, everyone wants more and many feels hard done by – creating the justification. Everything is very individualistic and getting “yours” – even at the cost of the others is OK. The courts are backlogged, the prisons are full and police overstretched. Put simply the riskreward is worth it and crime “pays”.
– Elsewhere, I see two systems in play. One is greater sense of community and mortality, the locals will retaliate (physically) when they see crime – with others jumping in for good measure. The other, is when the police do show up, the court systems are much quicker and will also dish out punishments.
I been a victim of crime myself in the UK couple of times. The worst – a woman vandalised 18 cars – “keying them for fun”. All caught on ring camera’s. Police did eventually show up, gathered evidence and she was arrested. 18 months later, CPS had fumbled much of the evidence, the judge also took “pity” for the fake cry show. She got £150 fine for thousands of pounds in criminal damage.
Is crime so bad? I often see this cited as a reason the UK is “finished” but regularly work all over London and Manchester and not really noticed anything nor have I felt unsafe.
That’s what happens when a society becomes focussed on hyper individuality and money
Standard telegraph, everything is shit, yeah yeah we get it
Well it’ll all be okay now because we’ve censored the internet so now all the kids will grow up to be perfect angels without any nasty influences leading them astray!
There is a concerted effort in online spaces as well to portray the UK as degenerating war zone with heinous crimes committed on every street by hordes of brown people.
Even American podcasters, right wing vociferous commentators of course, are talking as if the UK has been destroyed.
Speak to any police officer in any district and they’ll tell you they know exactly who the biggest 15-20 criminals are. They’re ones who are in and out of short sentences (if they get a custodial sentence at all), constantly being nicked and held overnight, always getting fines and warning etc etc. They don’t care and they know they can act with near impunity with a rap sheet often stretching over decades.
And the stats bear it out, they account for the majority of police time and attention.
The problem isn’t catching these individuals, it’s that our sentencing and courts are ineffective and it’s these individuals for whom a Three-Strike/El-Salvador approach would work.
Once they’re out of the way, the police and courts would have far more resources to deal with the other 80%.
Farage got asked if he was scaremongering, which he answered with disagreement and a whole bunch of scaremongering about how nobody would walk across London at night. There’s a current narrative through line that’s being pushed here.
More clickbait nonsense from the Telegraph.
UK crime rates are the same, or less, than other western nations.

More torygraph doom mongering I see. The real picture is a bit different but don’t let that get in the “talk the country down” fest.
