I’m watching businesses around me crumble. I’m seeing hard working people lose their livelihoods. I’m seeing the strong broken and the weak without hope. I’m seeing sick people unable to be treated. This country CANNOT remain locked down for much longer.

Why is a pizza company apologising to a group of hardline left-wingers about a newspaper promotion? If you don’t like a paper, don’t buy it. End of. This isn’t North Korea. People have choices. Stop appeasing fascists masquerading as the good guys.

This is London in 1924. Even allowing for the often distorted rose-coloured glasses and the inevitable ‘back in the day....’ sentiment, this is quite stunning; calm and innocent. The lack of traffic alone.
