... wise, perceptive and common-sense comment from Melanie Phillips here.
Can't help but think of Conrad in a colonial backwater. Or Yeats' rough beast slouching hither. But literary allusions are mostly lost on the yobs in London's streets, and are small comfort for those who encounter the heart of darkness outside a London shop, or note the lateness of the hour.
