JD does make a valid point, though. Statistics are, in effect, meaningless (a good example being the number of illegal immigrants in Britain).
Similarly, we are told that crime (or at least some types of crime) is decreasing in Britain. Quite apart from the likelihood of the government fiddling with the figures, many people don't bother to even report crime these days because they know that nothing will be done.
