Saturday’s London Links

Let’s start the weekend off with a few less than cheery items shall we?

• The Guardian reports on rape culture in South London gangs.
• Loving Dalston reports that the CLR James library is to be colonised by Starbucks.
• Christina Paterson in the Independent asks what are the cycle memorials trying to tell us?
• East London Lines responds.
• Tesco is getting into hot water over it’s slave labour policies. The first of many protests in Westminster this morning.
• This week electricians staged another militant protest and rumour has it this has paid off. Guy Smallman.
• Snipe has an interesting piece on how Boris and Ken need each other more than they know.
