This is a masterclass in cherry-picking statistics. Yes, violence and knife crime have fallen, which is obviously welcome. But your post gives people a completely distorted picture of crime in Britain. The ONS says there were still an estimated 9.6 MILLION headline crimes in the year to March 2026, statistically unchanged from 9.4 million the previous year. That included 4.5 MILLION fraud offences, with the number of fraud victims actually rising 10% to 3.8 million. So when you boast that crime is “78% down”, you are comparing particular traditional crimes with their extraordinary 1995 peak. Fraud and computer misuse were not even included in that historical series. Only around 36% of the traditional crimes measured by the Crime Survey are reported to police at all. And the Crime Survey itself does not cover everything. It surveys people aged 16+ living in households, so it does not capture crimes against businesses, people living in prisons, care homes or student halls, or offences such as drug possession. Anti-social behaviour has gone the opposite way. 40.9% of adults said they had experienced or witnessed it, up from 35.5%. The ONS says a questionnaire change inflated part of that increase, but that some of the rise was genuine. Theft from outside homes rose 21%, to around 791,000 incidents. Police still recorded 507,086 shoplifting offences in a single year, even after a 4% fall from the previous year. Then look at what actually happens when victims report crimes. Only 7.3% of victim-based crimes recorded in the year to March 2026 resulted in a charge or summons at the point measured. 40.9% were closed because no suspect was identified. For theft, that rises to 69.4%. For residential burglary, 72.4% ended with no suspect identified. For vehicle crime, it was 83.2%. The charge rate for home burglary was just 5.9%. And rape cases which did eventually result in a charge took a median 438 days. There is another enormous change rarely mentioned in these comparisons: our behaviour has changed. London residents now make about 9% fewer trips per person than before Covid. Total journey stages in London remain 5.7% below 2019. Less commuting, less travelling and fewer journeys mean fewer opportunities for some forms of street crime. That does not prove how much of the fall it explains, but pretending society is otherwise identical to 1995 is absurd. London's population also fell 0.29% in the latest year because more people left London for other parts of Britain than moved in from elsewhere in the UK. And perhaps the most misleading part of your post is taking credit for the long-term fall in violence. ONS data shows violence peaked in 1995. It fell dramatically long before this Government existed, including a 43% fall between 1995 and 2002 alone. So yes, celebrate falling homicide and knife crime. The ONS recorded 499 homicides, down 7%, knife-enabled crime down 8% and knife homicides down 14%. Those are genuinely good figures. But don't take a 30-year decline spanning Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, arrive during the final couple of years, and present it as proof that your Government has suddenly made Britain safe. Crime has changed. Where it happens has changed. What people report has changed. How police record it has changed. How much people travel has changed. And huge categories such as fraud barely existed in the statistics being used for your 1995 comparison. That is the context your post conveniently leaves out.
