Getting off the tube at Holborn I see a small cart in the middle of the pavement and a couple of young men casually handing out bottles of sludge coloured fruit juice to passers-by.  I pass by and am given a bottle.

Last week, in almost the same place I was given a free bar of chocolate.

The chocolate was nice – bit sweet.  The drink was nice – bit sweet.  But it occurs to me to ask – what is going on?  All this free stuff being handed out?  Could it possibly be a new political movement?  A new form of redistribution of wealth? Is this communism for the 21st century?

Or is it just the first stage in an advertising campaign for a gym?
