       https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/08/05/crime-has-got-so-bad-in-britain-foreign-travel/Australia is not the only country warning its citizens to take precautions when visiting the UK. Research by The Telegraph has uncovered a slew of foreign countries that have either put out fresh warnings about the rising levels of crime in the UK in recent years, or updated the “crime” sections of their websites with additional warnings. The countries include France, Canada, New Zealand, the UAE and, most surprisingly, Mexico, where six cities recorded homicide rates of more than 100 per 100,000 residents in 2022, according to Human Rights Watch.https://archive.ph/2FVa1Mexico!

       @Flick I watched a Sky News Australia report recently and it was wild the stuff they were reporting on in the UK and Ireland. Not a sausage from our own media.

       @Flick Mexico... Now that must be hard to take!  😂 Heaven knows, Mexico is not exactly a dream, tranquil paradise to visit. The stats on crime are stratospheric.

       @Flick Crime, knife and machete in particular, but references to rape and grooming gangs.

       @Flick Yeah. Not very inviting. I looked at the full list, and only about 30 get the best rating, with the UK being among the second best...https://www.safetravel.govt.nz/destinations

       @Lady_Penelope @Flick we don't have to worry about phone thefts any more, they are putting warning markers on the ground to solve the problem 👍

       @Flick I've made several trips to Britain in the past. Won't go there now, not due to crime. But because the current government is totalitarian. Same goes for Australia.

       @Flick But in fairness, it's primarily they're talking about London, and what's said about London, is pretty much the same as should be taken in account when visiting Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Madrid. These are all pretty much abysmal hellholes.
