I read in the Standard yesterday that Southwark is having to make the hichest cuts of any London Borough. Other inner London, disadvantaged boroughs also have to make MASSIVE cuts: all between ?35m and ?39m. Wealthier boroughs have to make much smaller cuts, for example, Richmond, only has to make ?1m cuts. I understand that disadvantaged boroughs need, by definition, more government help and therefore there is more to cut. Nevertheless, it seems against all logic and fairness. I simply do not believe there is that much fat in Southwark's budget or that a cut in the Chief Exec's salary will make all the difference. I am really fearful for this borough and the people who live in it.

Anyone agree?

  That is horrific. I can't even believe that this a thing. Really what planet do these so called humans live on... It actually says that the little fluff balls will be gassed. It should be illegal. At least one person took the time to read the letter. I am shocked.

  Looking for some advice here! Our little one is sleeping, finally, but still gets upset when going to bed or waking up. Has anyone tried one of the star/galaxy projectors you can get for them at night, and does it distract and sooth them enough to send them to sleep? Recommendations are very welcome here, as there are many different options online, from the suspiciously cheap to eye wateringly expensive. Is it a case of you get what you pay for? Advice gratefully received! LL

  Wouldn't it be better to have a stall at North Cross Road market with a board explaining what they do rather than obstructing the pavement by "explaining" to people what they do one by one?
