The most prolific phone thief in London is stealing 1000s of phones a year and may be responsible for over 1% of ALL phone thefts in the city. Most of ALL crime is committed by a tiny fraction of these career criminals. But more of them face shorter sentences than ever.

What's causing this? Several of those killed were experienced dog handlers, killed by their own Bully. Is it the owner?. No. The victims are not to blame. Bred from fighting Pitbulls in the early 90s, and then inbred for size and strength: these dogs were bred for violence.

Waiting two years for a rape trial has become the norm. 73,000 cases are stuck in a backlog. 10,000 are sexual offences. But our courts won't open. Up to a third of our courts are simply shut on any given working day. Government must act: open the courts and end the backlog.

These arguments would be a lot more persuasive if we hadn't had an effective ban on Pitbulls that required a significant effort and around 30 years of dedicated breeding to get around. Also a new ban tells breeders that gov will act.

So what's stopping them?. There is a HUGE lobby, led by the @RSPCA_official, which advocates against ANY BANS. Worse than just stopping a ban on the Bully, they advocate for a removal of all breed bans. Meaning a return of the Pitbull and the bred-for-slave-hunting Brasileiro.

Shoplifting is up in 97% of constituencies. Some have almost doubled in a year. Reality is worse as most go unreported. There's been a complete collapse in the ability/availability of police to catch or stop this. In many cases shoplifting has become essentially legal.

Whilst the law bans all Pitbull types, government guidance has not kept pace with breeding. Gov defines "Pitbull Types" as "looks like a Pitbull as defined in a magazine from 1977". Genuinely. American Bully is a larger, inbred Pitbull, which looks *slightly* different: Legal.
