It really is a brilliant city. Just been to Kilburn. One of the world's global hubs.

Just make sure you stay well clear of emrytezzy, trouble seems to follow him around 😉😃

There's that saying about being tired of London you're tired of life. Well if you're tired of London you're tired of good pubs!

My new favourite is one in Somers Town, the Cock Tavern, cheapest and best Guinness I've found, proper old pub with some interesting characters, outside and in 😃

Very friendly 👍

I'm staying near there. I'll try get one in.

Thought I'd put this here to comply with the new filing system, hope I've got it right 🤔🙂

Went to Product Earth 2024 in the Drum Sheds, Edmonton yesterday, first time it's been held in the capital after 9 years in Warwickshire.

It's basically a celebration of 'alternative health' culture with medical cannabis companies, grow companies, vape companies, seed companies and stalls selling CBD (probably..) edibles, mushroom stuff, clothing etc.

The searches getting in were ridiculously thorough, different queues (all long!) for those with a medical prescription made me think that there'd only be cannabis use in the 'medication area'.

Once I got to the outside area where the catering trailers, picnic benches and stage were I realised that wasn't the case, literally everyone was smoking or vaping 🙂

Some really good speakers on, discussing the future cannabis landscape in the UK, medical effects, how it could help the older generations and loads more.

However, I got an email this morning telling me that day 2 has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.

I'll update as to the why if and when I find more out, quite mysterious 🤔

Well now there's a surprise 🙄

www.leafie.co.uk/news/product-earth-2024-cancelled-day-two/

'Sources told leafie that the venue security team had expressed concerns about their ability to prevent cannabis consumption inside the building, with one source saying describing the air in the exhibition hall as “hazy”.'

Have to say I noticed no 'haziness' and saw nobody inside openly smoking weed, outside a complete free for all but I doubt anyone there had a problem with it anyway except seemingly the security guards 🤡

So that was a short and not too sweet relationship 😐

Stayed near there and been out a few times as it’s close to Excel. I wouldn’t want to walk alone at night

Few protests in London tomorrow I believe. Hopefully no trouble. Worried it will spill over though and turn into violence.

Tommy won’t be there so you can only assume everything will pass without the need for the police at all🙄

Tommy Robinson wants the Country back

Unions and other anti Tommy, anti Racism and ant Islamophobia

You then have the Annual Trafalgar Square protest at deaths in Police Custody. It's not clear if those protesting Peter Lynch and Chris Kaba will unite or fight.

I expect the Police are hoping for rain

This weekend, London is set to see significant protests.

Supporters of all round bad egg and general racist thug Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) are planning a march from Victoria Station to Whitehall.

A counter-protest organised by Stand Up To Racism will march from Regent Street and St James’s to Whitehall.

Additionally, the United Friends and Families Campaign will hold a separate protest in Trafalgar with relatives of the former gang member and criminal parasite Chris Kaba. 

It's going to be a busy day in central London!

Heaven help the police if it’s the same group as at 2:04 in the video. It could be a bloodbath



I do wonder if they know anything at all about Kaba the person?

Swivel eyed, purple haired bird brains without a clue what they’re virtue signalling about being bankrolled by rich wokie parents that hate their children

[rickyfullerbeer]

Journeyman protesters. They don’t k ow whether they’re coming or going.

I wonder if the mayor will be so vocal and supportive to the poor family attacked here as he was to Chris Kaba’s.

I'm down there next week with work, got an evening do near to the tower of London so will be nipping into the Cheshire Cheese near Fenchurch Street, which is not to be confused with Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese near to Fleet Street, I suppose I could do a Cheshire Cheese double.

Richmond isn't far, remember that being a nice place years ago, probably not cheap tho.

North Star isn’t bad, north of the Broadway The Wheatsheaf and The Haven Arms are good Fullers boozers.

2 miles west in Hanwell we have some really good pubs and a micro-pub (The Dodo) which is always winning CAMRA awards

[prestwichpotter]

A trip to the North Korean embassy is a must, cracking little Indian restaurant round the corner as well called Tokri.

[Chewbacca the Wookie]

A good ones to pop down to Commercial Street and go to Classic football shirts store which is a great visit then go to the Commercial which is a great old pub.
