I think the study goes into some of that a bit.

Yeah, I mean, I'd like to just mention some of the misperceptions kind of on the left, because I've mentioned one on the right there with the reform voters, but the voters, sorry, the public in general.

But voters specifically on the left, people who are saying they're likely to vote for the Green Party or for Labour, they tend to overestimate the white British population of London.

So they're kind of not seeing how much London's demographics are changing in the same way.

They say it's about 50% white British.

Reality is more like it's in the 30s.

um they're also uh most likely to say that violent crime and sexual crime hasn't gone up and it has gone up it's still the best uh rate in the country the lowest rate in the country but the crimes have those crimes have gone up so there's a kind of a really interesting thing now i know i'm talking slightly more broadly than your question dave apologies but um that voters, people who have particular party allegiance, or at least intending to vote for a particular political party, have almost a different perception of reality here, you know, and they skew that way.

Take all the time you need.

hello everybody uh very very good to see you all here today uh the introduction was perfect i'm jack and i am delighted to be speaking today about a topic of a great interest to me and myself uh the london problem i am a lifelong londoner something that wasn't mentioned in my introduction but how would you know i grew up in wolfham forest north east london i've lived there my whole life I've travelled, I've seen the rest of the world, I'm not a small-minded person, but I am very much attached to this place.

Also a proud member of staff here at King's, this is my first interaction with this programme, but I'm very proud to be a part of King's.

King's, like London, is a globally competitive institution, world-leading academics, I noticed an accent there, people from around the world coming and providing the best quality research and teaching, students from around the world.

We compete globally, but we are in a place, a city that has its own particular distinctive customs, traditions, pluses and minuses.

And actually, King's does a huge amount of work which I've only sort of recently started to learn about with London's communities and neighborhoods.

And it's really incredible.
