Me -June 21 – Shoreditch
The Government will try to back-track, but the cat is now out of the bag. 21st June becomes the target date and though we know if we don’t hit it – we have ourselves to blame, that doesn’t stop it being a midsummer night’s dream!
And for some reason, my next door neighborhood has become the focus for June 21 speculation

#Shoreditch is trending this morning on twitter. I am 40 years on from the youth of Hoxton, Dalston and Shoreditch but I get it – I worship up there and run around it on my 60 minute lockdown lap. It is my kind of place to party.
And I know that June 21 2020 is going to be one hell of a party in this City of ours and I’m going to make sure I am up all night to get lucky on that longest of long summer days.
Readers, let me tell you, that I am focusing already on that happy day when Blackfriars and Farringdon and Bishopsgate and all the hoods in the City of London are going to clap their hands and rise up against the oppression of the Coronavirus. On that day we’re going to wave our vaccinated arms and sing hallelujah!
Lmaooooo. The Shoreditch tweets have me dying. London is going to be madness on 21st of June. Madness. https://t.co/eZS1vnltiU

My queen will be the bitch of Shoreditch and I’ll be the fresh prince of Blackfriars! There ain’t no stopping us now – we’re on the move! Or as my young friends put it
I dunno about y’all but I’ve already had my first vaccine. I’m ready for summer. Me and Boris gonna be in Shoreditch on June 21st like pic.twitter.com/I7Ru2n7u7o

The idea of an end date – June 21 as it were – seems designed to be a problem. Yes, more than half of the population will probably have been vaccinated (I reckon I might just about make Dose 2 by then if I’m lucky). So, do we have a hell of a party and hey, the other 50% all get it ON June 21? I find the thought highly worrying.
Perhaps you should start in Pitfield Street – that does owe its name to being one of the burial pits for London’s plague dead.
