At 4.09 pm on 15 July 2010, a News 24 presenter told us this: "Every day there are 26,000 victims of crime in Britain".

According to the Office for National Statistics, of the 18,091 men and boys who police took action against for a range of violent and sexual offences in London in 2009-10, 54 per cent of those proceeded against for street crimes, 59 per cent for robbery and 67 per cent for gun crimes, were black.

Just over 12 per cent of London’s population is black.

Home Office statistics published in June 2010, showed that 1,719,000 under-16s were assaulted in 2009. This group is three times more likely to be victims of violence than adults. Total offences against children topped the two million mark. The the total number of recorded crimes in England and Wales, including those against adults, exceeded 12million.

On 21st of March 2010, The Telegraph told us this: "There have been at least 2,233 investigations into PCSOs (Blunkett bobbies) for alleged misconduct... Since the role was created 167 PCSOs have been charged with crimes, while 276 have been dismissed... Critics – including many regular officers – have branded them 'plastic policemen' or 'CHIMPS'." ('Completely hopeless in most policing situations')

Statistics released by the Department for Children, Schools and Families in April 2010, show that in 1997, when New Labour came to power, there were 866 schools in England where more than 50 per cent of pupils spoke English as a second language. By 2009, children in 1,545 English schools spoke English as a second language, a rise of 78 per cent!

On 24 June 2010, an Office for National Statistics report informed us that 3.8million British children (30 percent) are living without their father or mother. More than half of these rarely see their missing parent.

A ccording to a study led by Professor Greg Brooks from the University of Sheffield, published in May 2010, more than 100,000 16 to 19-year-olds lack the basic skills needed to function in society. About 17 per cent are functionally illiterate and 22 per cent are essentially innumerate.

A June 2010 analysis from the government's Higher Education Statistics Agency reported that more than 50,000 of 2009's university graduates had not landed graduate-level jobs and another 20,000 were thought to be unemployed. Many more were taking masters degrees in the hope that their job prospects would improve.

A separate June 2010 study found that up to 270 graduates were applying FOR EVERY JOB!

A World Health Organisation/John Hopkins university study of global death rates in children under 5, published in The Lancet on 12 May 2010, found that the number of such deaths was worse in the UK than elsewhere in Western Europe. The UK, with a population of around 61m, had such 4,324 deaths in 2008, while France had 3,090 in a population of 64m. Germany, with a population of 82m, recorded 2,943 deaths. Italy registered 2,350 in a population of 60m. However, Turkey, with 73m people, recorded almost 30,000 such deaths.

David Cameron and Labour leadership favourite, David Miliband, are both keen advocates of EU membership for Turkey.

A July 2010 National Audit Office report revealed that the life expectancy gap between the rich and poor in England was widening. In Blackpool, men live for an average of 10.7 fewer years than men in Kensington and Chelsea. Similarly, Blackpool's women die 10.1 years earlier than those in Kensington and Chelsea.

According to a 12 July 2010 study by the Centre for Economics and Business Research, government estimates of the national debt, forecast to reach £932million by Spring 2011, do not include the cost of civil service and town hall pensions and projects funded under the Public Finance Initiative.

Adding these liabilities to the official figure would add £1.13 TRILLION to the UK's overdraft. This equates to £78,000 owed by every household in the country.

In June 2010, the Medical Research Council found the death rate of UK troops is twice that of 2006, when they were involved in the fiercest fighting since the Korean War. For the 12 months to May 2010, the death rate of British troops in Afghanistan reached13 per1,000 "personnel years". During February and May, this was at 9.9 compared with just 2.7 for the US. During the 4 previous months, the UK rate was at 12 compared with 3.9 for the US. and from May to October 2009, it peaked at 17.3, twice the US figure. (8.4)

In June 2010, official Whitehall figures revealed that the Iraq and Afgan wars had cost British taxpayers more than £18 billion. The figures do not include soldiers' pay or monies for long-term injury and mental health care incurred during the course of these wars.

On 18 April 2010, The Independent reported thus on the Afghan campaign:

"An IoS poll shows 77 per cent of Britons want our forces to come home and a majority believe our presence makes UK streets less safe from terrorist attack".

A 29 April 2010 report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies informed us that, half of single mothers would lose more than £100 a week in benefits if they began to cohabit! The worst hit 10% would lose a massive £214.07 a week! The analysis also warned that to eradicate the penalty for couples with children, taxpayers would have to find nearly £24 BILLION a year!

The Married Couples Allowance was abolished by New Labour.

According to an April 2010 inquiry by the UK Border Agency, up to 3,400 hospital workers supplied by just one company, ISS Mediclean, were likely to have been illegal immigrants.

On 9 June 2010, The Mail informed us thus: "Of the new jobs created by the Government taken by those born overseas, only 576,000 were from within the EU (who had the right to be here)... 1,130,000 were actively granted work permits by Labour... Over the 2 years to Oct-Dec 2009, employment among UK-born people fell in absolute terms (by 608,000)... Critics described (this) as the final proof Labour was lying when it promised 'British jobs for British workers'."

Figures show that, in the 3 months to 30 June 2010, 186,000 people started work. 145,000 were foreign and just 41,000 were British! 3,850,000 foreigners were employed in the UK at this time.

On 22 March 2010, a parliamentary report stated that more than 50,000 people were dying prematurely in the UK every year and thousands more were suffering serious illness because of man-made air pollution.

Corexit, the dispersant used by BP to help clear the spillage from the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, is 11 times more lethal than oil alone. Corexit was banned in the UK over a decade ago because, compared to other dispersants, it was found to be more toxic and less effective.

On 5 May 2010 CNN News quoted a YouGov poll of more than 4,000 British people. 77% of those questioned said net immigration should decrease or that no immigration should be allowed at all.
