The people who gathered stats professionally are correct.

I’m twitchy about this because I’m hearing from relatives in far more dangerous countries and cities about how London is under siege from immigrant criminals and sharia law is being imposed in the streets. Their news bubble is full of current articles that use as “evidence” pictures of riots from a decade ago where the violence was not committed by immigrants.

This would be laughable if not for how completely these folks have swallowed this nonsense.

It’s at best unscrupulous journalists desperate for eyeballs but given how pervasive this is it feels naive to assume anything but a paid, coordinated campaign.

“Are you ok in the UK?” Yes, I’m right here in London. London is fine.
