 | | How lockdown created a new dawn for London’s strippers | | The current crisis has turned life on its head for loads of people. Publicans are pouring takeaway pints, restaurateurs find themselves toiling in their own kitchens, preparing haute cuisine for delivery, and yoga teachers are now all incredibly competent live-streamers. One group you may not have thought about are the capital’s strippers. We caught up with members of the industry and discovered how quarantine and virtual clubs might pave the way for a kinder, fairer world for these workers. |

| Buy books from black-owned shops |  | | One way to support the Black Lives Matter movement is to read. There are loads of great books, written from a black perspective, about the issues facing London’s (and the world’s) BAME communities. If you’re thinking of making a purchase, we strongly suggest buying from one of London’s black-owned bookshops. Some of these have been plying their wares for more than 50 years, so those wishing to broaden their horizons and learn about black culture and subjects like systemic racism will be in the safest of hands. |
