Cheers! I Have to admit to my ignorance as I did not know about him. Will have a listen.

Got a slight advantage as their mum lived in the flat below me for 6 months a couple years ago and they were both round pretty regularly. Can confirm that they're all lovely folk.

A graphic that cheers me up... that's quite some progress (and my département is >45% now).

That's quite a change... didn't realise the extent.

Kinda good news, I suppose, though it might not seem like that to the 93 or their families.

Dammit, I don't really like Bach on the piano, or soupy arrangements of his music, but this grabbed me, not least as it's a pretty impressive bit of playing by a non-professional musician who's the mayor of Boston - the music itself isn't hard, but to get that evenness of tone ad steady pulse in front of a huge audience is no mean feat.
Oh, and some chap called Yo-Yo Ma plays quite nicely too.

Can’t be true. Khan is the worst mayor EVER. He is TERRIBLE!!!
London voted best city in the world for 11th straight year.
You would think that Reform being the patriotic lot they are would be singing this from the roof tops.

That city ranking does seem to be based on factors like economic activity and whether people would like to visit as opposed to whether a particular city is a good place to live as a resident.

Still goes against the narrative being peddled by the usual anti London suspects who would have you believe it’s worse than Beirut.

Most of the people who complain about London are people who don't like big cities, so would complain about any large city. I'm ignoring the tiny minority like Musk.

Over the last decade, overall recorded crime in London has increased by 31.5%, with violent crime rising by 40%. However, recent data indicates a decrease in certain serious offenses, such as knife crime and residential burglaries, suggesting some positive trends in crime reduction.Can’t be true. Khan is the worst mayor EVER. He is TERRIBLE!!!

We spent a week in London a month ago, visiting friends. A couple of days in SE London and three days right in the centre. Buses, tube and trains all fine. People friendly; whole place splendidly multicultural.
