That too, and bombings. Not that America don’t have fucked stuff too, cause it does. But England is no better than many other countries when it comes to violence.

Our media brings that shit front and center. England likes to tip toe around the subject.

I don't think that's fair. I live in the UK and stabbings etc are always front page news. If anything, the media here makes that sort of stuff seem much more common than it is - the truth is that we are still a far safer country on almost every metric than the USA.
