People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.
Last year saw:
The lowest murder rate per capita since records began
The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century
One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades
The Bear 8h My heart bleeds. Also, he does realise there are alternatives to his children inheriting the business - like him retiring and passing it on, right? Almost as though this is a confected drama to get himself in the news again.

Also, it's disgusting that a fascist government would prevent someone with a business, big or small, from passing it on to their children.

On World AIDS Day, we remember all those we've lost to HIV/AIDS related illness and unite in our battle against the virus.
We’ve committed to zero new transmission of HIV in the capital by 2030. We’ll continue to work with partners to tackle the stigma of getting tested and treated.
Astonishing how different the coverage is with the media shouting about the chancellor "misleading" the public compared to the outright lies of the tories being ignored. Where was the forensic fact checking of the liar johnson?
Fab song with the fabulous Poly Styrene. A Christmas favourite!
This week showed what online communities can do.
By sharing the petition for an inquiry into Russian influence, people have forced Parliament to act.

Foreigners have created fake patriot accounts for years, they know the far right will boost ad revenue by sharing disinfo bait that provokes mindless outrage.
The result? Thick emotional UK racists aren’t just conned by foreigners they hate, they’re also making them very rich.
Slow fucking clap.
A personality cult...

Today we celebrated 100 million free school meals provided to children in London’s state primary schools 🎉
As this government recognises, every child deserves the best start in life. But a record 4.5 million children live in poverty. Their life chances are being held back and their potential wasted. They deserve better. At the Budget, the Chancellor has a unique chance to change this. By fully scrapping the two-child limit she can deliver a decisive shift in children’s opportunities, and in our country’s future potential. We have come together as diverse organisations who recognise that turning the tide on child poverty is crucial for children, and also for wider ambitions on housing, education, health and national growth. Reducing child poverty will boost family budgets, and local economies. It will reduce household debt, and cut the huge future costs of poverty faced by our schools, hospitals and other public services. Every day the two-child limit remains, in any form, it pushes children into poverty. Now is not the time for half-measures. Now is the moment for the Prime Minister and Chancellor to hear the voices of the UK’s children and take this vital opportunity to do the right thing. Abolishing the two-child limit in full will set millions of children’s lives on a path to a brighter future, and help to rebuild a stronger, fairer country and economy.
We’ve joined 100+ others in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By fully scrapping the two-child limit the government can deliver a decisive shift in children’s opportunities, and in the UK's potential.
So sad to hear of the death of Jimmy Cliff. He wrote some great songs and helped to popularise reggae around the world. Jimmy's music is sunshine and happiness, anger and righteousness.

Y'know what really irritates me? Politicians telling me what I'm worried about. I'm not worried about asylum seekers, I'm worried about politicians using them as a football to get attention. I *am* worried about poverty, homelessness, the sad changes happening in my country making it worse...
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
Saw Christmas Karma this afternoon- loved it! Who knew the Spirit of Christmas Past travelled with her own mariachi band! Some lovely songs that’ll become favourites. Fabulous!
Good grief! It shouldn't be about him at all. It should be about the country!

Nigel Farage currently railing against Parliament being full of "professional politicians".
He founded UKIP in 1993 and was first elected as an MEP in 1999, twenty-six years ago. Less than 5% of current MPs (31 to be precise) have a longer career in politics than Farage. ~AA
Well fucking played, Caerphilly 😂
