Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

But I live near London, so I can I can literally go for a drive in London.

And you drive down, you drive through London, you drive into Kensington and Knightsbridge and North London, Hackney and Haringey and Islington.

And it is full of side roads where there's all the houses.

And if you go down a side road, it's literally a road.

Outsides of houses have really gone to town.

I remember once, a few years ago, I walked through the Boltons, which is that very she-she street in Chelsea, Kensington.

And they had one of those massive white houses and they had all the silly cobwebs on the front, etc.

But they also had a sign on the gate.

I don't necessarily disagree with him, but the point is that legally corporate manslaughter would give impunity to individuals and it would just be the corporation in this case that would pay a fine.

But I don't care, to be honest.
