I also think that sometimes articles catch the eye of a certain type of person. For instance this article would appeal to an expat or someone wanting to be an expat
One could easily point to the example of the member of ETA who was convicted of murdering more than 20 people (with bombs mainly) and yet he was released within 2 years - a bad crime / criminal and a joke legal system to boot
Back to reality.

Hi Dave ... always good to see you.
I think it caught my eye not because Im an expat - but because I have an interest in crime (in the best possible sense!) I was a Probation Officer in my previous UK life and crime figures / punishment / rehabilitation are sadly an interest!
But I take your point that in general that it may normally appeal to those already leaving the UK , or considering doing so .... or just giving people something else to fret about or whinge about!
