My first question: is this publication a ligitimate source? I'm unfamiliar with it.

Second question: Is abuse and torture from exorcisms on the rise in the U.K.?

I know a lot about what is happening in (mostly central) Africa and a little about what is happening in the U.S. but little about what's happening in other regions. Also, please don't think I'm judging anyone by asking my questions. I, after all, have no place to judge anyone on religious abuse and general bullshit, I live in the American Bible Belt.

I wouldn't call The Sun a very reliable source, but that's just me.

Abuse and torture from exorcisms are certainly being reported in the press more often these days, but I am not convinced they are happening more often than before.

The Sun is reliable in the sense that they don't actually lie, as such. Wikipedia doesn't necessarily lie, as such, but as an information source it couldn't be called reliable; at least they often cite sources, something the tabloids rarely do. Thus the paper is as reputable as any in the Murdoch stable.

Let me put it this way:

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press, I know exactly who reads the papers: The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by people who actually do run the country; The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; The Financial Times is read by people who own the country; The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

Oh god! Stimbo, I almost died laughing. Thanks for the info folks. As for the big tits statement, I kind of got that impression too when I read the teasers for the other articles in that publication.

One think you have to see is that the percentage of crime is always level-ish, just these days more of it gets reported.

I would say yes. Multiculturalism in the UK has been a disaster and as more people migrate into the British Isles they bring their barbaric religious beliefs with them.

Hmmm. Apparently racism is on the rise.

I had no idea that such procedures were commonplace in the UK, or had become commonplace as to talk of abuse and torture related to exorcism as a "problem".

Bullshit.

Its the underlying failures to tackle abuse when it is masked behind multiculturalism, or did you not bother to read the ENTIRE article?

So you don't see how you're being a racist fuck? Britain was built on multiculturalism and don't you forget it. Not that a Welshman would know anything about it, what with Wales being just shy of 99% white.
