@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I think Chris is being misled by the England-centric nature of BBC report.
The ROSPA report itself is clear enough about this:
"Scotland is the most dangerous country in the UK in terms of deaths caused by accidents, followed by Wales, Northern Ireland and England. People in Scotland were 62% more likely to die in an accident than people in England."
And being the BBC they don't actually tell you where to find ROSPA's actual report, so you can easily check the relevant facts. Maybe they've stopped employing investigative journalists, maybe it's just a genAI summary with 'England' somewhere in the prompt?
