Dear Londoners — It isn't just the relentless sunshine causing things to heat up around here. On Thursday, we received some more feedback about Joshi's read on the demise of the Evening Standard. We've loved hearing your takes on the whole thing, and so when we spotted some more discussion on Twitter, we were only too happy to read. But imagine our surprise when we realised that this reader was in fact Evgeny Lebedev, the Standard's proprietor. And he wasn't too happy.
Though we can't comment on whether we're in the Standard's "league" — or whether, at this point, we'd want to be — it's nice to know that Lord Lebedev was thinking of us. And if you haven't read it yet and want to know what all the fuss is about, you can read it for free here.
