more useless statistics based on uncomparable city boundaries. chuck the suburbs into the mix, like they would be with almost every other city, and you'd get a totally different result

Right, lets get this straight.

Firstly I've checked with the home office AND guess what? The figures in the report are wrong!(probably because of lazy reporting & sensationalism)
So for Hull the actual Dwelling Burglary rate is 8.5 per 1000 population NOT 19.67! And for our scouse friends, suprise surprise it is 9.5. Maybe you shouldn't believe everything you read without doing some homework and start spouting your mouth off without something to back it up!

I am glad I can't afford to live in the City of London

That's why I'm not believing this

Believe me, your post says more about you than anybody elses lack of "homework"....

Sorry, what's your problem exactly? what DOES it say about me, please enlighten us all?
I hardly think backing up what I earlier stated (regarding my surprise that scousers weren't in the top 10 for burglaries) with facts gives you the right to making personal snides on an open forum, even less so when you don't know me in the slightest.
Your response doesn't reveal everything about you (nor would I ever want to know) however it reveals enough to make me sure I won't waste anymore keyboard time responding to your inane witterings!
