The church was brilliantly lit as I walked down Brushfield street last night. In the same street a van had pulled up and out came maybe ten people-distributing bags of food to the twenty or so people who literally seemed to come out of the shadows of the market. many spoke eastern european languages and all seemed delighted to get the food. It was a very quiet, subdued scene. Very odd this going on in the shadow of Christ Church where a corporate event was going on. The irony of this is that that years ago Christ Church Spitalfields used to help the destitute and addicted. Now it is left to others
