Guardian columnist
Mattha BusbyThree men have been arrested by
police investigating an assault on the
Guardian columnist and activist Owen
Jones in Islington, north London, thisus earlier this year – so this is his fi rst
attempt. There are three other farm-
ers growing for us and we know that
at least one other UK company is look-
ing at production here.”
Meldrum said the company was
focusing on two broad categories of
chickpea varieties : kabuli , which are
the pale, smooth, round peas with
which most of us are familiar, and
desi, which have brown skins and are
smaller and more wrinkled.
Desi chickpeas are generally split
and used to make chana dal and gram
fl our. Kabuli are canned or sold dried
and whole.
“Chickpeas are a marginal crop in
the UK,” Meldrum said. “ When we fi rst
tried them they seemed very risky –
more likely to fail than succeed.
“It feels like that’s changing and
the likelihood of success is weighted
slightly in our favour now. ”
Two years ago the company
launched the UK’s fi rst commercial
lentil crops. Th ey were followed last
year by the fi rst UK-grown chia seeds.
The recent shift towards “clean eat-
ing” and veganism has meant pulses
such as lentils, peas and beans are
seeing something of a revival. The
chickpea, which features prominently
in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine ,
is a staple ingredient in hummus.month. The Metropolitan police said
three men, aged 29, 34 and 39, had
been detained in connection with
the incident after attending a police
station in north London.
Jones, 35, was celebrating his birth-
day with friends at the time of the
incident. The attack was deplored by
the Guardian editor, Katharine Viner,
and the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn.
After the incident Jones thanked his
friends “who were assaulted defend-
ing me and who I love very much ”.
In a statement yesterday the Met
said all three had been arrested onsuspicion of violent disorder and
assault occasioning actual bodily
harm. All three were still in custody,
the force said.
The statement added: “At around
02:00hrs on Saturday, 17 August, a
man, aged in his 30s, was approached
outside the Lexington public house on
Pentonville Road, N1.
“The man was assaulted by four
male suspects. When the victim’s
friends attempted to intervene, they
were also assaulted. None of those
injured required hospital treatment
or London ambulance service.”Girls

This year’s top 20smovers for 2018. Arthur entered the
top 10 boys’ names for the fi rst time in
almost a century, with the television
gangster series Peaky Blinders , now in
its fi fth series, believed to be the inspi-
ration. The show was also credited for
the arrival of Ada in the girls’ top 100.
And while Arthur, which replaced
Jacob, was the only new entry in the
top 10 names for boys in 2018 , Sophia
and Grace replaced Poppy and Lily
among the top 10 names for girls.
“Oliver and Olivia remained the
most popular baby names in 2018,
although there are the fi rst signs that
Oliver’s six-year reign as the number
one name for boys is under threat,”
said Nick Stripe, the head of life events
at the ONS.
“Arthur surged into the top 10 boys’
names for the fi rst time since the 1920s,
and Ada jumped into the girls’ top 100
for the fi rst time in a century too, both
perhaps inspired by characters in the
BBC TV drama Peaky Blinders.”
Stripe added: “On the fl ipside, the
growth in the use of technology assis-
tants in our homes may help to explain
why the number of baby girls named
Alexa has more than halved compared
with 2017. Communicating with young
children can be hard enough at the
best of times.”
Ada climbed 49 places to become
the 65th most popular name for girls
in 2018 – the second-largest rise within
the top 100 names. Arthur has been
rising within the top 100 names for
boys since 2009 and was the seventh
most popular name for boys last year.
Despite ranking in 255th place, the
name Cillian (the actor Cillian Murphy
plays Peaky Blinders’ lead character,
Thomas Shelby ) has also been stead-
ily growing in popularity, rising 295
places in the last fi ve years.
Of the 62,729 diff erent names given
to 657,076 newborns in England and
Wales last year , Olivia was the most
popular for girls, and Oliver for boys.
But Oliver was outranked by Muham-
mad in four of the nine English regions,
and by Harry in north -east England.
Grayson, Rowan and Tobias entered
the top 100 names for boys in 2018 for
the fi rst time, while Delilah, Ayla and
Margot made their fi rst appearance in
the top 100 names for girls.RELEASED BY "What's News" vk.com/wsnws TELEGRAM: t.me/whatsnws
