London one of safest cities in the world

[Elsa TLC]

The "problem' is that murder, knife crime and other serious crime is so rare in the UK

Are you serious?

that trying to understand if it's going up or not is impossible without looking at statistics.

It would be if you run the understanding department.

Normally people don't wait for statistics to have an opinion, they listen to friends, YouTube or Facebook and trust them without checking.

Have you got a statistics APP?

The real problem comes when people are faced with information that challenges their already set opinion. Most of the time they ignore it rather than asking if their opinion was right in the first place. This is true for everyone but even more true for people with lower levels of education (ie no STEM degree).

Your STEM seems to be pointing south.

Is this the same London whose murder rate was being compared to NYC not long ago, or another one?

London Onterio I believe.

Yes, try reading Thinking fast and Slow by Khaneman. It's a bit long but very good and doesn't require a strong maths background.

It is a great summary of the modern understanding of how humans assess risk and probability, and how terrible we are at it.

Hence the need for the Darwin Awards

I found London, Ontario to be a mostly quiet, polite town. As you'd expect from Canadians.

Trump is very unpopular there.

Reagan was just spouting worthless nonsense.

Trump is very unpopular there.

He is despised there. My missus's bezzy at work is seeing a Canadian fellow, and he and his son were over recently. There are some Tumpists over there but they keep quiet about it. So far Trump has cost the US BILLIONS in lost Canadian revenue alone.

The Kennedy Centre send their regards too.

Past through it but not enough to reply judge. See on your chart that Toronto was high.
