Had a good chuckle at the haiku.Search for article title in incognito on Google, it's how I get to them. Doesn't always work.

Who would want to live in London these days with its rising crime rates, many of which go unreported, and the losses of freedoms once enjoyed there?by silexia

It's not so bad. Last year we had "homicide rate lower than any other UK city" and I'm not sure which freedom I lost?still ok in surveys - https://www.worldsbestcities.com/rankings/worlds-best-cities...

> Last year we had "homicide rate lower than any other UK city"Ah but as GP so astutely observed, an awful lot of murders go unreported. They saw it on Twitter/read it in the Telegraph/heard it on Talk. It certainly explains how all the foxes are so well nourished.

GP said many crimes go unreported which is certainly true of minor theft but not so much with murders.(a source on murders https://www.london.gov.uk/londons-homicide-rate-capita-lowes...)
There is quite a lot of shoplifting, phone snatching etc.
I think the foxes live on takeaway pizza leftovers.
