And one of those is the weather. And now new data shows the alarming impact that extreme weather events can have on things like crime, transport and air quality. With climate predictions suggesting London is increasingly likely to experience more extreme weather patterns moving forward, how should we understand and respond to its impact on the day to day functioning of the city? But figures for March suggest that the cold weather had a significant dampening effect on crime across the capital. After years of rising, often at quite an alarming rate, total crime, violent crime and knife crime all fell in March this year, compared to the same month in 2017. And the hot bank holiday weekend, which saw several violent attacks in the capital, has led some commentators to suggest rising temperatures means more violent crimes. While recent cold weather has affected crime and transport, a longer-term view can show how weather affects other things in the city. While these policies are starting to take an effect, the monthly pollution levels continue to fluctuate, often down to the weather. Policymakers at all levels should attempt to better understand how extreme weather will affect demand for services and their ability to provide these services, among a raft of other things. Some things will be easier to understand and prepare for than others.

Is it possible that anger qualifies, at this point, as a national pastime? The next it may be social media users enraged by changes to their favorite platforms. We can’t all be fighting the prevailing orthodoxy, can we? There are obvious differences in the types of power each side of this conflict could credibly suggest the other possessed. Each side looks at the world around it and sees, for the most part, the flourishing of the other. It’s less a culture war than a war over who’s already winning. “It is a pop-culture law that everything generates a backlash,” The Ringer observed earlier this year, before pointing out that the ensuing cycles of opinion — from initial hype to stubborn critiques to indignant defenses — were now so familiar they could be predicted with almost scientific precision. This is the landscape of our broader political wars. What’s fascinating is that it’s also the landscape of our innocuous pop-culture battles, over which films are underrated and which celebrities overappreciated. Questions of taste and aesthetics have always been intimately bound up with questions of status and character and overarching cultural values.
