Quit my job a year ago to start a local news site called London Centric. Broke a load of stories that bigger outlets rip off. No investors/ads. Amazingly, people paid to subscribe and it might just work. Here’s what I’ve been up to if you're intrigued. https://t.co/U9a9BM669v

@jomickane Actual words here explaining what’s really going on if anyone still knows how to read https://t.co/YTFTu2Zpcz

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

@jomickane Don’t steal my video, put a spin on it, and take the credit so you can boost your blue tick income. Don’t claim someone should look into it when actual journalists have been doing so for years. Follow the original source on a vaguely functioning site. https://t.co/FKl5kfzGOF

@ChristianJMay Thanks Christian! It's been a lot of 80 hour weeks but it's been worthwhile.

@1867ben Thank you! I don't often post on here now so just wanted to flag it to people who used to follow me.

Who keeps crashing cars at speed into the front of this Tesco Express in east London?

It’s happened four times in the last three weeks.

It looks like a robbery - but London Centric has learned nothing is stolen and it appears to be the same driver. https://t.co/IgLYmlPdzH

He's one of Britain's richest men. So why does Asif Aziz's property company keep leasing London gift shops to overseas students based in abandoned offices or flytipped car parks — before vanishing without paying millions of pounds in taxes? https://t.co/YTFTu2Zpcz

@journoresources @London_Centric Job is now closed due to large number of applications!

@RevRichardColes Ah my hometown, to guess which hotel you’re at then until not long ago you’d have also heard the soundtrack of squeaking pigs being driven down the main road to make that bacon.

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

@thedailymash @grok what’s this about then

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

Bookswap libraries are returning to the London Underground after six weeks of negotiations between Sadiq Khan, TfL and the London Fire Brigade and following the purchase of fire safe cabinets.... but only at above ground stations for now (so not the inner London tube stations).

If you've spent any time on social media over the last month in the UK you've probably seen a load of adverts for this Omaze house near Borough Market in London. But what's the secret history behind the building? And how was it, until recently, a council house? 🧵

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

A decade later, Omaze claim it's worth £4.5m (although it appears it failed to sell for two years at £5m asking price) and it's a dream home for millions. If you want to read the full story, click here (£/free trial): https://t.co/FWmdEfimFf

We've obtained multiple sets of video from four different attacks in London, showing how the gang methodically deface suburban streets with red paint and motor oil. If you want to view it, sign-up to London Centric — free trial available here: https://t.co/QlMVFFqGhv

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

Is an organised crime gang carrying out an intimidation campaign with red paint across suburban London? London Centric has the first video of the mysterious gang targeting properties across the capital with "brothel" graffiti. 🧵

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

London Centric has had a reporter on this for the last week. We obtained CCTV footage which, when analysed by native Mandarin speakers, suggests the gang operating in London has accents from northern China. The impact on residents is enormous.
