With a heavy heart, I confirm that the first lawyer to be killed off is S.J. Fleet, my second alter-ego.
The powers that be determined that there was no room for (or real sense in) S.J. Fleet co-existing with The Secret Barrister, so SB will be taking all credit from now on.

This is brilliant.
So many flame wars could be avoided by the original poster simply adding "I think," "I believe," or "For me," before a sweeping statement of personal taste.
The rest could be avoided by replies actually noticing that they did.

Strange isn't it... the people who actually live in London overwhelmingly think it's safe.... almost like everyone else is falling for a lie
I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

I like a website that pops a little brainteaser into the registration process. Not just the usual "Will I be UK, United Kingdom, GB, Great Britain, ENG, England?" conundrum, but instead all of this, plus doing it by flag, alphabetised in English.
