So, I fail to see why you are using the opposite statistics to support your own argument? If you are going to use stats, then you are saying you believe in what they say; but what you are saying is that you will only agree to the use of stats if they support your own view.
Also, you say "much boils down to the culture of fear that we live in"; I would suggest that your own words make a mockery of comparing the UK to the USA, Brazil etc
