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

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.

It's mad that they're still pretending this is a drugs thing. Imagine if Trump next chose to take military action against that bloke with the cannabis grow up your road.
This is still all based on the whims and fantasies of Trump, no basis in real life.
"Senate Republicans... voted to reject legislation that would have put a check on Trump’s ability to launch an attack against Venezuela without congressional authorization."
War crimes and mass murder.
Not war.

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

I love that this is expanding to include books, music etc. I’m not curating it or making any judgments, it’s not *my* preferences, anyone who makes stuff is welcome to reply to my original post. (Not this one, far fewer people will see it.)
A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Sky Sports axes ‘unbelievably sexist’ TikTok channel Halo after three days
Female-targeted account ditched after posts referencing matcha, Barbie and ‘hot girl walks’ were criticised by fans
Sky Sports has been forced to ditch its female-targeted TikTok channel Halo three days after its launch, after criticism that it was patronising and “unbelievably sexist”.
Halo, which was described as the “lil sis” of Sky Sports by the broadcaster, launched on Thursday with a now-deleted post which read: “We’re about ALL sports and championing female athletes. We’re here for the culture, community and connection. We don’t just watch sports – we live it.” Continue reading...

Just finished Mick Heron's, Bad Actors. Almost all caught up from a standing start on the series. Even feeling under the weather it's a rollercoaster ride of a book full of gratuitous violence, human folly and the results of Murphy's law. What's not to love?

BBC
Bias is often in the eye of the beholder
So let’s stick to measurable facts
During 10 yrs of debate about Brexit, BBC QuestionTime had Britain’s Members of the European Parliament on the show 50 times
Every single one was from the pro Brexit minority
47 were from UKIP/BP
23 times Farage

GB News investor and Spectator owner Paul Marshall is in the running to buy the Telegraph now that the RedBird takeover plan has collapsed, the Guardian reports.
Hard to see this being anything other than a disaster for public discourse in Britain if that goes ahead.

What a wonderful thread full of creatives, the good will. ❤️
The comments are rich and beautiful. And the work is in so many forms and media. There must be something for everyone.
I'll take another look later when my family are not looking over my shoulder.
This really is something very special.

I can see you have a view on this and strong ones at that. I think the current BBC is not functional, it is currently internally weakened by all those factors you mention. But independently funded. Impartially lead news is the corner stone of democracy. Turn it into optional subscription weakens it.
I don't value the BBC because it is a corrupt, biased government mouthpiece that has been pushing the far-right for decades.
It has enough Murdoch lackeys in it that it might as well be called the BB Sun.
It's a WW2 propaganda concept that is long overdue for renewal & replacement.

This was a really fun and popular night, and thank you to everyone who supported by donating the raffle prizes and who attended on the night. Also thank you to the Fisherman's club who donated the room. I strongly suspect there may be other quiz nights like this in the future.

If you don't value the BBC you are either very rich and would rather go about your business with impunity or too ignorant to care about your fellow countrymen being abused. Why do you think trump loves GB news? Because it's not news.
If you are unsure which you are check your bank balance.
