Arrived in London this morning. Internet is spotty, but I'll try to report thoughts.

- almost no homeless, saw just one so far
- lots of trash though
- prices seem reasonable, a bit lower than SF, but that's because the pound is so low against the dollar
- the majority of people on the street are clearly not English; they are from everywhere else on earth

I did not know there was a Saint Chad:

Peter Lynch, a 61-year-old grandfather, has died in HMP Moorland, reportedly taking his own life after being jailed for his involvement in a protest against the housing of illegal immigrants.

Lynch was sentenced to two years and eight months in August following a protest at the Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham, where tensions had risen over the government’s immigration policies. Protesters believed the voices of local citizens were being ignored as more asylum seekers were placed in their towns.

During the protest, Lynch expressed frustration at authorities and the media, holding a placard calling them “corrupt”, and yelling at officers.

His sentencing drew criticism from those who felt the punishment was harsh for what they saw as a legitimate outcry over unchecked immigration and the strain it places on local communities.

Lynch had no previous criminal record.


I'm pretty sure Lynch did not kill himself.

They have been for a while. Even in the 80s and 90s a Brit's whole paycheck is spent by the end of the month. Brexit was a good first step but they need to fire their whole establishment and kick the snack bars out

Yes, I remember when I was there in 1980 and again in the early 90s, most Brits did not fill up the car's petrol tank. They usually only bought a few litres to get through the week and bought more fuel after payday.

It would be the same here is we didn't have the 1st and 2nd ammendments.
