    They keep saying it’s the worst it’s ever been, when the reality is violent crime in London is basically the lowest it’s ever been

    These are all people who can vote, yet are not operating with accurate information.

      Same in the U.S. These people don’t give a fuck about violence, they’re just racists who don’t like multiethnic enclaves in their country, and resent that the “blue” cities have the best education, food, style, that we are the cultural drivers, and that we live in relative harmony.

        As an American who is very familiar with this kind of trend, I came here to comment about wondering how these views correlate to respondents’ openness to foreign cultures (“is it basically racism/xenophobia like it is in the US?”).

        Yeah last time I checked, nowadays most of the unsafest cities in the US are in red states.
