  Analysis of ~unsolved~ homicides in London between 2019 and 2023 found minority ethnic British people made up 61% of victims. When researchers assessed unsolved murders, 92.9% of cases in the capital were connected with a victim who was a person of colour.

  The guardian has screwed up what the numbers mean, so here’s the actual report.

  Non-White British individuals made up 92.9% of all unsolved murder victims in London between 2019 and 2023. Between 2019 to 2023, non-White British individuals accounted for 61.7% of reported homicides.

  Since The Guardian for some reason didn’t bother to print the full statistics from their very own source, I’ll do it myself: https://aoav.org.uk/2026/londons-2025-murders-examined-key-figures-in-the-uk-capitals-homicides/

  Is this the 2 tier policing we supposed to be really angry about?
