- T-Winsnes 13y agoI think you read that wrong. That Britain has the worst violent crimes in the EU is definitively Britain's problem.
- johnchristopher 13y agoIndeed, I read "worse" instead of "worst". My bad.
- thisishugo 13y agoYou should parse that sentence as "Britain has the highest occurrence of violent crime in the EU," which is very much our problem.
- weland 13y agoI think what OP meant was that Britan has the highest rate of violent crimes in the EU. This was all over the news a few years ago, and it's still fairly high, but it's important to note that the UK is very lax in what it considers "violent crime". Whether that's a good thing or not is another matter.
- bornhuetter 13y agoHe means that Britain has the worst level of violent crimes of any country in the EU.
