TV camera pest from East Dulwich

Recommended Posts

Who is that guy from the East Dulwich area that's been ruining my viewing of the news now for a few months?


All through the election coverage from outside the Houses of Parliament, outside the High Court when there's a big court case and more recently when the Peace Village was about to be cleared, there he is, a Mr Blobby-like character, standing right behind the correspondent with his plastic bag in hand making sure he's in shot no matter how the camera tries to pan away from him. His latest ruse is to stand there pretending to be on his pay-to-go phone.


There must be a bounty on his head from every major TV Channel. If he's a bit simple in the head could someone please tell him to stop. If he's not a bit daft please tell him to stop being such a pratt.

That would be Paul Yarrow


He does live locally and is a very nice man, perhaps if you see him about you could take the time to talk to him, he is always more than happy to talk about the causes he believes in. In my opinion he is doing no harm so leave him be!

Paul enjoys the limelight. He has always wanted to be a journalist and now that he is unemployed, seeking out camera crews gives him something else to do. Although Paul has been active in campaigns like The Maudsley Emergency Clinic/Felix Post Unit, Save Dulwich Hospital, and is on various committees, he has not been involved (or have a family member involved) in the BA Cabin Crew Dispute/Parliament Green protest/other high profile media interests.

Paul is a well known ED figure and although genuine in his beliefs - he does tend to lean towards 'negative' campaigns - Have you ever seen Paul at a joyful event - saying how wonderful this is, have you seen him smile or laugh? Has he waved a flag at a sporting event.

Paul needs to be wary - he is drawing attention to himself and there will be someone in 'authority' who will be questioning that if he is clever enough to get the media attention - why has he not managed to secure employment or training?

"Someone in 'authority' who will be questioning that he is clever enough to get the media attention"


Indeed, one can only commend him for being able to attract media attention in such a plight. Yes Giggi, Paul stood in as an extra when Barry was off ill binging.

    • Ha ha...are you sure...if I remember rightly someone leaked it to Peter Walker at the Guardian and he "selectively plucked" some headlines for his article and as you read the article you realised he was absolutely Peter Walker'ing his coverage with some absolute, bleedingly obvious, pearls like: A copy of the report seen by the Guardian said that polling carried out inside four sample LTNs for the DfT found that overall, twice as many local people supported them as opposed them. The leak to him was about getting some pro-LTN spin on the story before the government put their anti-LTN spin on it!   CleanAirDulwich is a bit misleading isn't it as they are actually an anti-car, pro-cycling lobby group who don't actually talk about clean air in Dulwich at all - unless, of course, you think cycling is the cure-all for all pollution problems!? All of their content seems to be weighed very heavily, ahem, to just one form of active travel....
    • Britain First took things to another extreme: "London is fast becoming a Third World cesspit, where crime is rampant and radical Islamist extremists dominate the streets!"  Probably the best outcome for Scanlon is that Orpington returns to Kent, although that would be unfair both on the residents of Kent, and many who live in the London Borough of Bromley irrespective of who the voted for. Hooray for Count Binface eh?
    • I don't think attacking an academic is particularly helpful.  The work was commissioned through a proper process.  Findings similarly would have been rigorously examined.  Government weren't particularly happy with the outcome and tried to bury it, but somebody in government thought this wrong and leaked it.  Government put their spin on it, which governments do, but the data gave some positive outcomes. My issue is with those who continue to drive whatever barriers (physical and others) are put in their place.  Hopefully with time more will use cars less, share journeys, decide that the journey is not essential eg working from home instead etc.  CleanAirDulwich, from my take, are mainly pushing active transport; one more journey walked is one less car on the road.
