St Pauls to Great Portland St. Ushit quoted group of 5 £20. I said maybe £25-30 but its all on the traffic. For sake of £5 they got in. Went £26 and traffic was shocking. Its the traffic that kills us nothing else

We have let a generation down.
I’m 27. I’m single. I have a modest income. I have a Plan 2 student loan repayment. I have a LISA. I had to move back in with parents after University and I’m still there. I don’t claim benefits. I save. And according to Rachel Thieves, I’m fair game to be taxed until I squeak.

What they’ve done and continue to do to these roads in this now slum that is London, is corruption at its most elite. Fuck all of ya.

My Grandfather was a veteran of WWII. One night during the London Blitz he single-handedly brought down eight enemy aircraft, resulting in the deaths of forty-two German bomber crews. He was the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had.

Terrible news that Mark Kaylor has passed away at the age of 64. One of East London’s finest. I would love to have met Mark and chatted about his career. RIP Champ ❤️🥊

Hollow victory for Benn, he beat an empty vessel. Eubank has absolutely nothing left except heart and courage. So glad he finished on his feet, tough tough man

Over 20 years of congestion charging in London and the traffic is worse then ever. It was never about the congestion, it was always about the money.
