   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.

     @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.

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

     @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.
