This year, London has had fewer murders than New York (46 against 55). It also had fewer last year. Weighted for the size of population, the rate of murders per 100,000 people was higher in London than its American counterpart in February and March, but, so far in 2018, the Met has investigated fewer murders than the NYPD.

Stories matter. Stories are how we make sense of the world, which doesn’t mean that those stories can’t be stupid and simplistic and full of lies. Stories can exaggerate and offend and they always, always matter.
