Interesting dig into a London restaurant's numbers -
Wilsons, in Lewisham, brings in £700k, but close to a quarter is tax:
VAT - £120k
NICs - £6k
Alcohol duty - ~£5k
Rates (est.) - ~£25k
= £156k
+ wages of £300k.
No wonder it's so expensive to eat out

It’s estimated Gaza had as much, likely more, explosives dropped on it as Dresden, Hamburg and London in WW2. Little wonder it looks like this. Not filmed with anything fancy, just an iPhone through a window. There’s no avoiding the scale of destruction. itv.com/news/2025-08-0…
Some of the best known journalists around the world have collaborated in an unprecedented push for independent access to Gaza. ‘If this press blackout continues, it sets a dangerous precedent’ freedomtoreport.org
Sky News reporter says journalists were told by Israeli officials that aid drops into Gaza could be cancelled if media onboard filmed the shattered enclave from above. news.sky.com/story/mile-aft…
After 4 months of a near-total Israeli siege, Gaza’s hospitals now have wards for the malnourished children whose tiny bodies are just the width of their bones. Aid groups had warned of this for more than a year. Now a worst case scenario is upon us. washingtonpost.com/world/2025/07/…
An already very serious story, now takes on a whole other level of seriousness if this is indeed true.
Have you seen this, @drchrisnewton?
