Britain "Accidentally" Doctors Crime Statistics

As screwy as things are getting in the UK, this report doesn't surprise me.

Public trust in crime statistics has been dealt a devastating blow after ministers admitted the figures have been downplaying serious violence for up to a decade.

The Home Office admitted that as many as one in five of the worst attacks has been wrongly classified in published figures.

As many as 4,000 serious assaults each year were mistakenly recorded as minor incidents - and officials conceded they 'simply do not know how far back it goes'.

Not properly recording serious crimes is blamed for the discrepancies. Yep, typos for a decade. That's the reason.
