To update, it was a survey done by the tory party themselves. And is completely ridiculous. To clarify, Affray and things like that aren't even deemed violent crimes in South Africa or America, or anywhere outside of Europe. The only reason Britain came ahead of them is the basis that the tories were counting crimes, that aren't consituted as violent crimes anywhere outside of the EU. As an example, America has 10X as many murders per person, per year than the UK. South Africa is about 20X same story for GBH “The frontpage on the Mail I have today is telling us that crime in the UK is worse than South Africa and the US.
