One detail I can't get over from this @_TheLondoner story is that this is the actual blurb of a real book by a big-time BookTok author, who quite recently was given a huge Netflix deal.

A new generation of viral young street preachers is causing havoc all over London.
Jesse Ngoma’s arrest outside a gay bar in Soho led to him being banned from the area, after weeks of clipping up confrontations with police and LGBTQ people. It might be only the beginning.

For weeks, I've wondered who has filled the tube with thousands of ads about pig gassing and disgusting farmed salmon.
For @_TheLondoner I found out the multimillion pound campaign is being bankrolled by a strange, AI-obsessed movement in Silicon Valley.

I'm sure you've seen the thousands of ads about gassing pigs or lice-infected salmon that now plaster the tube. They're costing £400,000 every few weeks.
So who's paying for it? And how does it relate to a strange Silicon Valley movement fixated on AI?

Last week, HMV said it was being forced out of its Oxford Street store after its rent was doubled.
@AndrewKersley found out the landlords behind it are a billionaire Chinese mahjong dynasty, who plan to replace HMV with a viral immersive gift shop.

I've covered a lot of noise complaints and licensing hearings. This is by far the weirdest.
My report for @_TheLondoner is a saga of a dead dog, council conspiracies, racist emails, public defecation and a venue that wasn’t the community space it seemed.
