I'm from Manchester, don't buy into the hype, UK is really not bad at all in the grand scheme of things, Manchester had 34 homicides for the whole of 2011. London for the 2010-11 period had 136. This makes Britain amongst the lowest homicide rates in Europe and the world. And yeah the daily mail is a joke of a newspaper, everyone in Britain knows this. Stick to the Times or the Guardian to cut through the hype.
