> And its not particularly safe spot either - instead of gun violence, there are frequent stabbings, on top of all other crime of which there is plenty. There are not frequent stabbings. They are reported on because they are so rare. There were 235 homicides with a sharp object in the entire country of 60+ million people in 2021, which is about one third to half of all of them (which makes sense, without a gun, your options are limited). That makes fewer than single cities elsewhere. If you think the UK is a specific violent crime hotspot, consider what angle whoever is telling you that is trying to push.
