“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

The new Co-Op ‘to go’ while nicely done isn’t very surprising, very much their standard FTG offering, a Costa machine and small bake-off operation. They’ve picked a tough market with lots of good indies, a Greggs, a good M+S and even a large Tesco all within walking distance

Nigel Farage claim:
"We are not the world's food bank, it is not for us to provide welfare to people coming in from all over the world"
Reality:
The average migrant on the Skilled Worker visa had a net fiscal impact of +£16,300 in 2022/23. In contrast, the average UK-born adult had about +£800
