Shame is the underrated, old skool emotion of the 21st century. When we don't feel it anymore, social restraint and social order fall apart.

Interesting to see the reporting around the man who drove into a parade of Liverpool FC fans. According to one paper, he followed far right individuals on Twitter. Why isn’t he on a terrorist charge? Do White ppl [excluding Queer ones] get White-washed in the English courts?

Good thread on how a big part of the problem of British politics is big media figures with no real interest in being across the details.
Peston tells Lam that she said something that he "genuinely didn't understand". "But who are these people who came legally who should leave?"
This does not look like faux naivety.
He should know the answer!
She misleads in her answer to him.
So he gives a misleading summary of her policy on air.

This is a really interesting read. I have sympathy for small independents struggling to survive and having to resort to cooking takeout deliveries for chain brands.
You might have heard of 'dark kitchens' when a row of sheds in a car park churn out food for Deliveroo. They're unpopular and low margin. So the next big thing in London food is 'host kitchens' where local pubs, restaurants and kebab shops cook for big brands. www.londoncentric.media/p/host-kitch...
