Sadiq Khan responds to St Paul’s Cathedral and Fabric live event partnership after religious outcry
Well, this one's got people properly wound up, hasn't it? St Paul's Cathedral teaming up with Fabric for live events has touched a nerve with those convinced Britain's lost its moral compass, though you'd think a cathedral hosting music would be, you know, bringing people together rather than betraying them. The Nelson business is a bit of a stretch, but it does highlight how loaded these conversations have become.

For our listeners, it's a reminder that music venues and institutions are having to get creative to survive, even if it means ruffling some feathers along the way.
