    1930's Germany.... no wait Britain 2016

    Surge in anti-Semitic violence, says campaign group


    There has been a surge in violence against Jewish people, according to a survey by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism.
    The group says violent incidents in England, Northern Ireland and Wales rose by 50% between 2014 and 2015.
    omg 50%?

    Privacy advocates slam new UK surveillance law


    Surveillance has always existed but never to this extent. We might badger 'nothing to hide nothing to fear' but fear we should. Bulk data collection on your online activities held for a year at the minimum.

    Inflation.. CPI versus RPI. We're all in the the belief inflation is rather low. And yet we've all observed how the price of the weekly shopping has continued to increase unabated since 2008 and yet we're told inflation continues at 0.2 or 0.3% per quarter. Part of the problem is the statistics don't record things we use. With the statistics also including the activities of the extremely wealthy thereby skewing the data. RPI excluded the wealth, hence why inflation appeared higher. The consumer price indices were used in favour of retail price indices since 96 I think, as the make real inflation look significantly lower.

    The price of a pint of milk or a first class stamp has hardly increased according to the CPI.

    In 2007 milk was 20p at the farm gate compared to 35p today. Yeah. 0.2% inflation

    In 2007 a 1st class stamp was 34p, today it is 64p Yeah inflation is under control.

    You can go through products we use everyday and find similar results. Inflation is out of control yet we pretend it's not. Same thing happen in the 1930's somewhere.

    In 2007 Scottish hookers were £40 compared to £20 today.

      So in 2014 there were 2 incidents? In 2015 3 incidents?

      How much has anti-muslim sentiment gone up?

      The UK is a tolerant nation and anyone wanting to live in the UK should be tolerant of others or can live elsewhere.

          CPI is a dog vomit measure of inflation.

          What's gone up more than anything? What is people's biggest outgoings?

          Mortgages and rent.

          We need an inflation measure that includes housing costs. But the horse left the stables a long time ago.

              I had a dog once that would vomit in the back of the car. Once we stopped to clear it we couldn't find it. We then realised she ate the vomit. Filthy animal!!

                  Lol.

                  Once saw in Portugal a cat yak up near our restaurant, then another cat came along and lapped it up.

                  Had a friend with a golden retriever who was partial to wolfing down big balls of horse tulip.

                  Personally I just like to throw my tulip at the glass of a fat tourist if they start pointing their fat fingers at me.

                    Anti-Muslim crimes increased after Lee Rigby - 734 incidents over a ten month period between 2013 and 2014. Equates to ~900 or so per year.

                    There are 2.7M Muslims in the UK, around 300'000 Jews.

                    ~40 anti-Muslim crimes per 100'000 Muslims.
                    ~250 anti-Semitic crimes per 100'000 Jews.

                    You are six times more likely to be the victim of a hate crime if you're Jewish, then if you're Muslim.
