    I particularly enjoy the implication here that Australia occupies its own category higher than merely ‘safe’.

      Well in England, there’s a fair chance of getting stabbed at various locations. For example, if you go to Finsbury Park and hang out, there’s a reasonable chance you’ll get stabbed. If you stay at home you could get stabbed too, although this time it’s more likely that the lack of corporate regulation and sorry excuse for a government we’ve had for the last fucking fifteen years will be the guilty party retreating into the shadows behind the bins with a knife. I’d mark England as yellow on a map tbh. ‘Exercise caution’ yeah sounds about right I’m exercising it right now.

      Haven’t been to London lately right? 200 odd acid attacks alone last year and who knows how many stabbings. It’s a war zone

        You should come to grips with the up-to-6-mass-shootings-per-day America has going on and remind yourself that acid is horrific but knives and acid compared to guns is a little different.

        • getting into a car
        • being 30 feet away
        • being behind a door

        All these things are different if you’re against a knife vs a gun.

        For example, a recent katana attack in my country was foiled when victims … kept 6 feet away until the dude was tased to shit by the popo.

        So yeah, 200-odd acid attacks were terrible to the victims; definitely, before we look at commonalities of acid attacks. But gunplay nearby is a different thing for everyone within like a half-mile.

          I’m not from the US and I’m familiar with how guns work but thanks for explaining.

          Having lived there I can say London really is a war zone these days.

    The safest countries in the world are labeled as requiring caution but the hooligans with guns and an active political coup is labeled as safe… What type of idiot falls for this propaganda???
