It’s comparing the apples and oranges to argue for more money. Meaningless to compare such different statistics:
Official figures show there were 1,870 domestic murders in England and Wales between 2000 and 2018, compared with 126 that were terrorism-related.
Every year an average of 6,500 people commit suicide in the UK. That’s 123,500 from 2000 to 2018 or 66x more deaths from self murder than domestic murder. Should we write an inflammatory article and campaign for money to be redirected to NHS mental health instead of to the police?
No. But that is what Guardian has done. It’s click bait journalism.
