- My amateur effort to keep track of the murdered body count in this "scepter'd Isle" since July 3rd 2007, as the government and the liberals insist that crime figures are falling and there is no need to look again at sentencing policy.
My sources are the BBC News sites which do not necessarily report every homicide on the main regional bulletins, so this is not an exhaustive list. However, quite often, several months later, the accused appear in court and that is often reported so I pick up some cases which passed me by at the time. For my purposes, men and women are 17+ years and children are 16- years.
TOTAL SINCE 3/7: 369 men: 122 women: 53 children:
CODES: EN= England, SC=Scotland, NI=Northern Island, WA=Wales.
Against all experience and hope, the little girl missing for over 3 weeks has been found alive so my child murder statistic has been adjusted downwards, but fear not, there have been a further two in the first 2 weeks of this murdering month of March! Included is an incident which appears to indicate that security on the Queen's highway has reverted to medieval times with a woman on a bicycle having a verbal dispute with 4 women in a car who promptly got out and stabbed her to death. Well, I suspect they were frightfully common people so the posh educated liberals won't turn a hair let alone change the law.
