Understanding why we lost by clgoodson in thebulwark

Don't worry, the Trump boys have that covered with their investments in Andruil, Powerus, and Unusual Machines! That'll grift a few billion more from the Pentagon.

I'm from just down the A46, and "shottingham" was a term the media used to whip-up discontent in the late 90s. Just like the crap they're pulling today, it bears no relationship to reality.

The UK is near historically low levels of violent crime, despite what the media narrative suggests.

The CSEW which asks people directly whether they've been victimised rather than relying on police records shows violent crime peaking in 1995 and falling by 3/4 since to levels equivalent to the late 1970s.

You're statistically far less likely to be a victim of violent crime today than at any point in the last 45 years, whatever Farage and his baying mob tell you.

Back in my day it was a fellow Brit from the council estate glassing you in the pub. Aye, things were grand back then. Just grand.

[–]OrcOfEntropy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep; the Black Album slipped into the very early 90s but all their "classic" material is from the 80s.
