Here’s the last Menu - from 2015 - of a much loved Soho & West End fixture, THE STOCKPOT on Old Compton Street.
Whenever I walk past where once it was I still check to see if it’s miraculously reappeared.
Miss the place.

Farage under pressure to explain tax arrangements in Clacton house purchase
The Reform UK leader said last year he had bought a home in his Essex constituency, but it was later reported that his partner had actually made the purchase.

Right wing media has had it in for Angela Rayner from the start - they couldn’t bear a working class woman being so powerful & dynamic. She made a mistake and has paid heavily for it. Very much hope she’ll return at some point in the future - our politics desperately needs more voices like hers

And there you go. Who’s next, I wonder? The attack lines will already have been worked out.

If they succeed in hounding Rayner out, they (the media) will then only move into the next target.

Just over 2,000 more signatures needed to get us to 10k. Help us get there. Anyone you know who wants fair coverage, pass them this way to sign. Democracy matters and our broadcasters need to report on ALL parties! They’re currently failing us. Here’s the link. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Young people don't 'want' to go private, they are being encouraged to believe they should go private as the NHS is apparently appalling after 14 years of deliberate underfunding by a government that want to privatise it.

Much as I think Palace missed a beat or two in this case, they're bang on the money (ha!) here: “Multi-club structures hide behind the charade of a ‘blind trust’ while clubs such as ours, who have no connection to another club whatsoever, are prevented from playing in the same competition".

Hello. I am an expendable character in an action film. If you shoot me with a regular gun I will scream in pain before I die. But if you shoot me with a silencer I will - obligingly - just let out a quiet gasp.
