The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s.

Derek is always brilliant but this is a surprisingly great thread about wealth and patronage and support for the arts and only a little bit about rich men wearing bad suits.
