It may be the nature of offences:

It doesn't, but it does have as many assaults and far more drug related deaths.
My point wasn't that they are identical, mearly comparable in that area, but wildly different in terms of media coverage.
I'm 45, I've never lived in a city, nevermind one of the largest cities in Europe. I've had my car stolen once, and I've been mugged once. My sister lived in South London for ~25 years, and suffered one indecent exposure. The difference between London and the rest of England and Wales is about 11 crimes per 1000 people, call it 1-2%. I'd take that risk, personally.
Out of interest, what would be the threshold for you to think about moving area following a spate of crime, some violent and others with threats of violence perpetrated against people you are close with?
Is this true?
Honestly can't say, ultimately I wouldn't have that many choices, but I also don't have to worry about anybody else, so in reality I'd put up with quite a bit - and just hope living in an iffy area reflected itself in lower rent.
You spoke of leaving London, not moving out of cities completely.
Based on the limited data points available, yes, but once again missing the point.
Such violence? Given the number of attendees, it seems to be a rather low level of violence, I assume in your comparison you have, of course, also removed the normal levels that occur in the area. After all, failing to do so would not provide an accurate view of the actual violence resulting from the event, rather than the 'normal' level of crime for the area.
Because knife crime in London does, the UK news media is a tad London-centric.
Ah, to be sure, I similarly wouldn't have to worry about anyone else. But I'm getting tired of it now.
But why would I compare it to England and Wales.
As in, in absolute terms. We can talk about per capita but, like it or not, people will see that a massive amount of people descend on the area for a musical event, with one of the days marked as a "family day", and that there are many arrests for violent disorder/weapon possession among attendees.
If you're having a mother nearly stabbed to death during the "family day" of your event, it's going to make the papers.
They'll get through it little by little.
Physician associates make job harder, not easier, say thousands of NHS medics
BMA survey finds 55% of doctors say working with associates has increased their workloadwww.theguardian.com
Anyone have experience with physician associates, or "PAs"?
You got any context for that, or explanation for why anyone should bother clicking it?
Would it have killed you to put that in the post? You could even Edit it in after the fact (ie now).
A detailed reply that utterly avoids answering the question I asked.
I've not disputed that, what I've questioned is the manner and nature of the reporting, or do you assume it's all un-biased and highly factual (a clue - it's not and the least factual has a political bias).
Are you assuming equal bias and accuracy here?
Define 'a lot'.
Dude, I'm sorry (again, I sometimes take a while to get what others are saying) but I don't understand how better to answer?

Millions loved the Notting Hill carnival but we need less crime. As an ex-cop, I have ideas to make it better
Millions loved the Notting Hill carnival but there was too much crime. As an ex-cop, I could make it better | Leroy Logan
There are new calls to ban the event, but with fresh thinking and official recognition of its true value, we can silence the critics, says former Met superintendent Leroy Logan
You'll see I also gave examples of how the centre-left and right wing portrayed it
Also, which figures are you using for the violence at Glastonbury statistics?
Surely if we apply that logic, all the extra people in the Notting Hill area are there because of carnival and so we can attribute those crime stats to the carnival?
Are you talking about articles like this:
Didn't that show violent offences reported to the police but not a breakdown of the arrests, compared to the Met releasing the number of arrests but not offences reported?
It's only a flaw if every resident of Notting Hill moves out for the weekend, or are you suggesting that Notting Hill has a base level of zero crime?
Link doesn't work
Indeed some do, other embrace it, the exact same is true in regard to the residents of Pilton.
It covers incidents reported and arrests, incidents are fully broken down, arrests broken down into broad summaries.
Which was my point:
Oh, it's the Sarah Vine article calling for it to be banned in the Mail.
Then we can't really compare, can we?
Using that logic Notting Hill has zero stabbings outside of the Carnival, again, not how statistics work.
Then nothing of value was lost in me not being able to view it.
We can, we just have to acknowledge limitations in the comparison.
This coincides with a lot of unis struggling financially, with Phillipson warning them that they're expected to sort out their own mess without seeking help from the government.
