A reminder that London is far safer than many major cities, that crime is falling and that racists hate both these truths because they undermine their vicious little divisive narrative.

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

Today I cannot stay on task at all. I have repeatedly failed to complete “make a cup of tea” and made breakfast for my daughter twice. Head is SPINNING. “No I don’t need medicating” he says confidently, “I’ve been like this 50 years and I have a senior job, I can deal with it.”
