Had my first visit to London Central Proper in three years and realised I’ve missed it. Many of my once-favourite coffee and eating places have, sadly, disappeared in the interim and walking around the streets, as crowded as ever, you realise what a weird ghost town it must have been in lockdown. The City, however, seems as full of swanky bank and lawyer offices as ever, with the usual hordes of coffee-carrying, head-down workers and little outward sign of the home-working revolution. I did intend and try to come by train; but, guess what, none were running from my local station and taking twice as long from the not so local one. So we had to drive, by diesel, as electrics still pay the congestion charge, add plenty of where-to-charge-stress and, we now hear, will soon lose their tax breaks. So, happy COP, Rishi.

Here’s the flip side. Should a business not have the right to choose whom it serves? If you as a client, or more likely potential client, rub us up the wrong way, are a declared anti-vaxxer or support the barges, can we not, as a business, say ‘Be Gone’?
