The brains of the BNP

Bah! There are two kinds of lies; normal lies and statistics.

It can be as high a percentage you want, we are still only talking about 75 murders. Which is an irrelevant number.

You're the one bringing in statistics and then describing them as lies. Make up your mind.

Furthermore, I'm kind of surprised that you consider 75 murders to be irrelevant. That's potentially 75 families that lost a member, and god knows how much people who lost a friend. Aren't you typically in the 'every life counts' side of the political spectrum? I thought that was what being leftist is about.

The same statistic can lead to all kinds of different conclusions, when presented in different ways. But when you're dealing such low numbers as 75 out of 200.000, I think percentages are irrelevant.

Yes, but I still can't see why on earth those 75 deaths should affect the 199.925 non-murdering immigrants one bit.
