It's been the evocative centre of selling animal flesh in the UK capital for around 850 years, but this week it was announced that come 2028, Smithfield Meat Market will close for good.

Richard & Anthony disucss this, as well as a handful of other news stories from the week in the vegan & animal rights space.
