It will be hard to get numbers as most are "managed" into dropping proceedings. After I graduated I worked in a late-night petrol station for a while and the police regularly stopped by for coffee/gossip and it was a regular complaint, Friday/Saturday nights were crazy and it was pretty much always the usual suspects. I felt sorry for the local plod. Depressing really, I was overjoyed to leave for London and become a contractor! -

Well no I did not take pictures of the incidents I saw happeningOriginally posted by Old Greg View PostSo no evidence then?
and as rarely anyone got arrested they do not get recorded as figures.
The police are regularly sorting out these sort of minor public disturbances as just part of their everyday job - they do not get recorded because often no crime is committed just people are drunk, stupid and angry.
It seems you feel that if there are no official stats on something then it does not exist.Comment

How would you know what has really gone on behind closed doors when the police have been called out? Is it as TW describes or is that an Alt Right misogynistic fantasy? Without evidence, there is no way to tell.Originally posted by original PM View PostWell no I did not take pictures of the incidents I saw happening
