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.
