The tonic wine Buckfast has been mentioned in 5,000 crime reports by Scotland's biggest police force in the last three years, a BBC investigation has revealed.
Almost one in 10 of those crimes in the Strathclyde Police force area was violent, according to figures obtained by the broadcaster under Freedom of Information legislation.
During that period the Buckfast bottle was used as a weapon 114 times.

The report claims there are 2,000 attacks per week
Scotland has been named the most violent country in the developed world by a United Nations report.
The study found that, excluding murder, Scots were almost three times as likely to be assaulted as Americans.
Victims of crime in 21 countries were interviewed by the UN, but senior Scots police officers criticised the study.
The survey concluded that 2,000 Scots were attacked every week. That figure is 10 times the number recorded in official police figures.
Ah, yes, of course, Lawson, official "government-approved" police figures are a load of shite - damned statistics!

ReplyDeleteOf COURSE. NO one goes to the polis. You sort it out yourself, or with a gang of mates.
Any one turns grass, and the chances are, unless they move away from the scheme, a LONG way, somewhere were Jimmy has not got a friend of an Uncles mate to tell about how the new schemy is a grass, then they will not survive a single week without nearly, or actualy being hospitalised.
And that is on every scheme in Scotland.
Mine was about 10,000 people. Every week you would hear about ten to fifteen SERIOUS assaults. (No one was interested enough to even MENTION the minor ones, ie those that only ended in lost teeth, or broken fingers, noses, etc), and I know for a damn FACT, not ONE of them was reported to the "Polis".
