This pandemic has seen a radical shift in work across Britain.
Many more people that can are working from home.
The greens have long promoted this as a way to reduce commuting emissions and improve quality of life.
However, now that it is in full swing there is a snag.
It is hurting the service industry.
Pret A Manger have shed a significant amount of jobs and the city is deserted, as they lose the commuter footfall.
This may not seem a great tragedy to some, but it does pose the question: Can we make the structural shift without endangering a huge amount of service jobs?
Are we going to see a work from home world post lockdown and is it really progress?
