It is not just the far right. It is the media themselves, including the so-called progressive ones. Violence in Britain has fallen 83% since the mid-1990s. Burglary 86.6%. Vehicle theft 86.4%. ONS, Crime Survey for England and Wales, forty years of data. 89.5% of prisoners serving for violence against the person are British nationals. 89.4% for sexual offences. 73% of the prison population is white. Convictions by ethnicity are 84% white, matching population share almost exactly. Violence is the largest arrest category at 47%, and the MOJ confirms this is "broadly consistent across ethnic groups". The disproportionality is in drug offences and weapons possession, not violent crime. The Oxford Migration Observatory found that controlling for age and sex, foreign nationals are underrepresented in prison: 3,193 fewer than demographics predict. The LSE found "the increase over time in offending is much stronger among the British than the Foreigners. Indeed there is essentially no change in the violent incarceration rate of foreigners over the whole period in spite of the two large immigrant waves that occurred". A study of 55 countries over three decades (Journal of Economic Perspectives) found no correlation between immigration and crime. Homicide fell by a third globally from 1990 to 2019 while the immigrant population grew by two thirds. A separate analysis of 216 regions across 23 European countries found "no significant link between immigration levels and crime rates". Yet the public believes the opposite. A MORI survey found the British public believed 23% of the population was foreign born. At the time, the actual figure was around one in nine. The public perceives the most negative impact of immigration to be crime. The data says foreign nationals are underrepresented in violent crime. That gap is not an accident. It is a product. Violent crime is over 60% of tabloid crime coverage despite being 20% of reported crime. An analysis of 402,819 articles found the immigration-crime link in public perception exists because of selective coverage and breaks when native criminality is given equivalent prominence. Arendt (2010) found over-representation of "foreign crime" articles directly led to readers overestimating foreign offenders. Blinder and Jeannet (2017, British Journal of Political Science) showed media depictions directly affect the accuracy of British public perceptions. The Erasmus study found coverage "disproportionately focused on crimes involving immigrants, fueling misconceptions even when data showed no substantial increase". A CEPR study found this coverage directly increased populist voting by 5%. And it is not just the tabloids. Conservative papers focus on immigrant crime. Liberal and progressive papers focus on "group-related problems". Both frame immigration through threat. A study of 40,000 articles found systematic bias against Muslims across UK media. The BBC, Sky, ITV, the Times, the Guardian: they all amplify crime when the perpetrator is an immigrant or non-white, not because it is more common, but because it is more engaging. A domestic murder in Sunderland does not get 3.4 million views. A white British man who commits one of the nine out of ten violent offences in this country does not trend. The result: a population that believes crime is rising when it has collapsed, believes immigrants are dangerous when they are statistically less so, and believes the country was safer decades ago when every dataset says the opposite. The far right did not build this machine. The media did. The far right just learned how to drive it.
Replying to @owenjonesjourno
The big change in Britain isn't rising violence. All statistics show that violence has fallen steeply. It's that the far-right uses social media to selectively weaponise crimes if they can stoke division, fear and indeed violence.

My aunt told my mum we should stop washing our armpits and privates because that's how we get leukaemia
Tonight at work I had a patient family member ask me if the blood her husband needed to stay alive was tested for traces of the Covid vaccine. So. You know. Yeah, they are.

Do people not understand what fiction is anymore?
this now makes two actors I’m aware of who have called robby abusive (the other being patrick ball), but people on twitter will call you an idiot who’s never had a real job if you say he’s a poor manager and that he mistreats his staff

"My friend." This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes. This is not diplomacy. It's debasement.
Great to catch up with my friend @JDVance today in DC following his talks in Pakistan. It is vital that the ceasefire continues and we get shipping flowing freely again through the Straits of Hormuz. We continue to work together towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine.

This article rightly points out that two million women per year are victims of male violence. This article rightly points out that convictions for rąpe are insanely low. This article should take issue with the majority of perpetrators: cìs men. But it doesn’t. It’s main issue are some signs at a protest held by transgender people, who are four times more likely than cişgender people to experience sexual assault and aggravated or simple assault, according to the Williams Institute at UCLA. Almost half of transgender people have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. It’s easy to understand the fear in this article, but the aim is wrong - and that benefits the people actually committing violent harm to women, because it takes the target off their back. But the sooner we all stand together, the sooner it will stop.

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

En la madrugada de ayer, se cruzó una nueva línea roja en el Líbano. Un casco azul de la ONU murió en este ataque y otros tres resultaron heridos. España condena tajantemente estos hechos. Exige que se aclare el origen del proyectil. Y pide al gobierno de Israel que detenga las hostilidades. Los ataques a las misiones de paz de la ONU son una agresión injustificable a toda la comunidad internacional. Trasladamos también nuestras sinceras condolencias a la familia del soldado fallecido y a todo el personal de FINUL.

Que puedo decirle al pueblo chileno: nada porque me está prohibido, pero es más importante la vida que el oro. El que deja reinar la codicia en su corazón pierde la vida. Es muy simple de entender
🚨🇨🇱 | SE TERMINÓ EL DELIRIO PROGRESISTA: El flamante presidente derechista de Chile, José Antonio Kast, retiró 43 decretos ambientales del comunista Gabriel Boric que impedían el desarrollo económico del país.
