Graph showing decline since 2005

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

Khan's story is one of awesome bravery under the most appalling conditions. But it is also of huge significance. For it highlights the immense contribution and sacrifice so many Muslim soldiers made for the Allied effort in that terrible conflict. From the @dailymail 2016.

Pope Leo calls for β€˜deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. β€œMany people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

This is crucial. The media dramatises events. There is so little analysis of the very real, usually male, domestic violence and coercion which is left out as it's too difficult to blame some minority for DV

After two years of a genocidal campaign, the first and only officers arrested in Israel were the military prosecutors investigating war crimes.

King Harold exiled his brother.
William I imprisoned his brother
William II crushed his brother in battle
Henry I imprisoned his brother for life. In Cardiff.
Henry, Richard I, Geoffrey & John, well, did everything short of actually kill each other.
Edward IV executed his brother.

That’s the game

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social I admire your views on this. I was born off the Wellington Road and HGS. My parents lived there for more than 50 years. We walked to Villa Park, saw two riots. My Muslim neighbours came to my Dad's funeral. The willingness to burn it down on lies and ignorance is evil.

I have always been fascinated by the composition of the Navy. The Tudor Rose is a fine collection of nationalities. It's a bit like Reform admire the Lord Hawhaw type, not the defenders of our Isle.

A tweet from Sky News reading 'Aston Villa fan Andrew Fox says he has received online abuse and even death threats following the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from the match in Birmingham.' A follow up tweet says 'This is a correction of a previous post that incorrectly identified Mr Fox as Jewish'.

Sky News is platforming a guy who says he's from a Jewish Aston Villa supporters group, but it turns out that the guy a) isn't Jewish, b) the group doesn't exist, and c) he works for the right wing Henry Jackson Society, whose website says he 'specialises in disinformation'. Well, quite.

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades.

New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

The use and acceptance of ppt is not the start of the SEN failure in mainstream. If we had GPs in charge of A&E we'd be in trouble. Put the specialist staff in Special and AP in senior position s(& use parents). Money helps, targets are an issue. Culture change is absolute.
