When you foster divide, preach divide it is inevitable crime rates will go up/spike. You have actually inferred the divide adage in your reply.

Our crimes are low because there is no mercy to criminals. Generally even foreigners who come to Singapore are terrified of our law. And they are more well behaved here. It's the feeling of if you so much as drop an ash from your cigarette or spit, a police would jump out of the bush and arrest you. Which is kinda true. Many undercover cops everywhere. They aren't in uniforms when they are patrolling. They just blend in, which I think should be the way, as if people see cops, they would have like head start or notice.

I was at a pub and two dumb caucasian male drop their pants and had a wanking competition. And plain clothes officers appeared and cuffed them out of no where. They probably got deported.

My brother actually got in trouble for throwing his cigarette bud into a drain. Plain clothes officer too. $350 fine on the spot.

I don't believe crimes goes up if you call out a certain group of people for something. I would say, it lowers crimes because the authorities are saying, "We are watching you closely. Don't fuck up!"

We did have believe it or not, have a South American gang syndicate who flew all the way into Singapore back and forth just to rob homes here, the big houses. But they got caught.

Believe it or not having a wank in a pub is illegal here too.

Our littering laws are no so draconian however.

I can't help but get the feeling that it is a sign of the breakdown in community respect, against a background of falling real wages, austerity and the demonisation of minorities.

I've heard it said - though I've not been able to find the clear figures to support it as yet, admittedly - that crime generally has gone up under Tory governments. But I should think the 20,000 drop in police numbers since 2009 might also have something to do with it.

They just need to take away everybody's knives and lorries or anything that could be used as a club, and anything with acid in it

they need to tool up every man, woman and child old enough to walk, with an assault rifle. That will foster a loving community feeling between all Britons and, eventually, a happier, more tranquil UK.

After a few years, you will have a body count to match that of the USA and you will finally understand what a free society is all about.

A far worse bodycount, probably. Because a lot of us say "please" and "thank you" over here, the Americans seem unable to grasp the degree of class and other social resentments that are endemic over here. There'd be a spree killing that makes Bernard Goetz look like a buddhist whenever somebody got laid off from a service sector job, and I shudder to think what'd happen if social workers went into sink estates armed.
