Once, in Virgin megastore on Tottenham Court Road with my then girlfriend, I reached behind me to affectionately tickle her midriff. There was a cough and I turned round to find I was stroking the belly of a large ginger man wearing a very similar shade of green.
Just said “what are you doing here?” to a woman wearing the same New Balances and coat as my partner, but crucially, who was not my partner on the Tube, so I did the responsible thing, which was apologise and immediately leave the train.

Toad ran across the meadow again. He waved the kite over his head. He jumped up and down. The kite went up in the air and crashed into the grass.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.
London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

Bukayo Saka is Arteta's no 1 goal scorer and has the most assists. He's just a class act all round.

Why might minorities might want to live together, why might they want to cluster for safety to avoid, say, a view that thinks they are inherently other from & a threat to you & everyone like you, such that you commend their deportation & exclusion

I was thinking today, as I often do, about Daniel Kitson. I've seen two Daniel Kitson shows where British people openly sobbed. And one was at 9 in the morning before anyone was drunk.

I haven't seen any discussion of the decision to get Ben Kingsley to play Ibrahim in the Thursday Murder Club film, but on the face of it it seems... Bad? Why are we still letting Ben Kingsley do this? It's not fair to him or us.
