If he achieves half of these then that will be some legacy. Put aside your dislike of the man and look at the positives. All politicians fail to deliver all of their pledges - a fact of life, doesn't make it right but things get in the way or priorities change. You can look at Livingstone, ignoring his later demise, and see him as a force of change and supporting the ordinary Londoner. He said he was going to bring back bus conductors. How silly. 70p fixed bus fair in outer London. Just wouldn't work - instead a pound to travel wherever you were going on the bus. Sounded daft, but we've had the single fair for, well, must be 20 years now. Interesting review of Johnson's 2019 pledges. He fully met his target for a bad Brexit. So lots of ticks there, but after that, pretty poor. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/sites/default/files/annex-conservative-manifesto-half-time-analysis.pdf Sunak almost an abject failure, but when we get some clarity on Labour we will be having discussions on some of their failures in years to come. -
That's true on the one hand. On the other hand they had deliveries going out, which presumably required the kitchen, which was not "shutting". There were other customers eating in who appeared to have just got their food. Given we were an hour and a half ahead of the publicised closing time, not "half an hour before closing time", it did not cross our minds to call ahead to book. In any case we had been out all day, our journey home involved two trains and two buses, and we didn't know what time we would be back. Plus if a business "reacts to demand", it should say that its opening times may vary. Monkatsu clearly says on its website that it is open from 5-10 on Sundays to eat in or take away. Eating out anywhere is a "first world" thing, and yes there might have been alternatives, but we had chosen to eat at Monkatsu! It's not as if we had got there at 5 to 10 and expected to be served! My post was to ask if anyone else had experienced the same thing. I wasn't expecting to be attacked for living in the first world and also apparently for having unrealistic expectations that information on a business website would be correct 🙄 -
Swifts ahoy! Heard them for the first time this year wheeling over East Dulwich at lunch time. -
2. In times when police are leaving in ever decreasing numbers and recruitment is hard, how will he put more police on the streets ? 3. Rough sleeping, no matter what is done, some still choose that way of life, so what's his plan in that case ? my guess for #2 would be that 14 years of this govt has done much to drive that exodus - an incoming new government is likely to take some steps to repair relations and make the offer more attractove re #3 - this questions arises every time there are a lot of people sleeping rough but as we all saw under the last labour government, those numbers reduced dramatically. Again, the London mayor will benefit from that Have people given up all hope that anything might ever get better ever - it did under last labour govt and whilst this one has a much harder job on it's hands, targets like this are at least honestly on their todo list (overall I would say that Khan list of targets is, charitably, "ambitious" as things stand in 2024. But they are positive targets and something to aim for. Compared to whatever it was that Hall was offering, it's the better of the two options)
