As a huge fan of Barrafina I'm decidedly excited about this. It's a shame you can't move in Borough Market during the Summer because of ambling tourists who never buy anything. Like Cork's English Market on steroids.

Hi Andrew Yes I've been banished - kind of. Someone tried to hack my Twitter account and I am told that I can't verify that I am the account owner. There is no human element, of course, just a Musk-like machine that says No. But I've lots of wine and food stuff on Instagram where I'm tomdoorley2023

George Galloway is currently living "in exile" in Moscow, broadcasting propaganda for Putin's gangster-capitalist regime and consorting with various far-right ideologues who also idolise Putin and are on the Kremlin payroll. Hope he loses his deposit in Holborn & St Pancras.

Ed was in a fucked up position. He knew it. His typical apolitical stance was being challenged in a way it never had been before. He told me that the words
"Free Palestine" and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, "I don't take sides."

So the ‘negotiation’ involves blowing smoke up Putin’s arse, asking him what he wants then attacking Ukraine for refusing to concede it. Never forget the huge swathe of UK media & political figures who celebrated Trump’s ascent while claiming to care about Ukraine. Absolute heels, the lot of them.
