I heard from a leader of a council department in SE London that Civil Disobedience protests may soon start in their area. What do people here think? What might it involve and how might it manifest? Really interested to see what people think on this. Sounds very un-British to me.

Phorum, as configured, works in a mysterious way. The @#$%& is general-purpose. AFAICS, if a word contains an offending string, [ed: for some of them] the whole word seems to come out as @#$%&. But if you enter different offending words explicitly in the search window, the search returns different sets of hits. So there are in reality all sorts of @#$%&s. Ratty's making sense, but in a rather ambiguous sort of way. Without testing, we can't tell what kind of @#$%& he is on any particular day, or even in any particular post.

If anyone's interested in a film about civil disobedience surrounding climate change, have a look here: Just Do It.


Subtitled "the inside story on the UK's biggest troublemakers", it's a documentary looking at climate change protestors, currently in post-production and looking to raise funding. If you support their cause, have a shufty and give them some money - for every pound they raise in October, Lush (makers of uber-smelly bath things) will match fund it.


I saw some of the edits earlier this week and it was moving and quite affecting (while some bits weren't quite my kind of politics too) but worth a look.


And if you're not a big old fan of oil, or at least the oil industry's part in climate change, there's a march tomorrow. Get creative and get disobedient: www.crudeawakening.org.uk

I think it's pretty unlikely there will be much effective civil disobedience of the sorts Rosie mentions, it's rare that a group is well trained and strategic in their use of those sorts of tactics.


More likely waves of protests ranging from petitioners on street corners to (hopefully not) 1980s-style riots.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.

      Charter East Dulwich school

      By McMurphy · Posted

      interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
