I’m unimpressed UK. Pizza doesn’t taste the same as it does in NYC and bakeries close before 8pm and don’t stay open until midnight?! London. Do better.

Italy, China and Spain: total lockdown 🔐 USA: state of emergency 🚨 France, Portugal, Denmark and Norway: all public gatherings cancelled with schools, universities, restaurants, libraries and museums remaining closed 🚫 Meanwhile in #CoronaUK:

This. Makes. Me. So. Angry. I love my beautiful London but I’m sorry Oliver Dowden Boris Johnson THIS isn’t okay. You can’t allow this to happen and not support our arts in any way just so you can have a pint. DISGUSTING BEHAVIOUR. Mark Drakeford 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 thank you for sensibility.

I welcome news of a delay to further unlocking if it helps us to prevent going back into a larger lockdown once more. But the govt have to respond with financial support for all in the arts & beyond who will suffer as a result of it.(esp.when their dither & delay has caused this)

8 June 1921 is the probable date of the photo(s) of Ansermet, Diaghilev, Stravinsky and Prokofiev in London. Prokofiev had recently arrived from Paris for performances of his 'Chout' by the Ballets Russes. It was the day of a dress rehearsal and Diaghilev had invited the press.
