People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.
Last year saw:
The lowest murder rate per capita since records began
The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century
One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Forest missed a trick. Instead of 'Ibrahim Sangare' and 'Chris Wood' they could have named one of the kittens 'Anthony Elanga' and promptly sold them to Newcastle for £65m.

I've read lots of helpful posts offering tips to identify and reconnect with friends and followers from the 'other' place. I suspect this may be the most effective tool.
