...although 'the better off' means the wealthiest 5% to be precise.

It pretty difficult to sit and read a book or have a picnic in local parks now without getting bothered by dogs. I've on more than one occasion had my picnic turned over by out of control canines. It irritating and often the owners (who inappropriately personify their pooches, are quite unapologetic... "they are just trying to say hello". Really? You think?) It seems perfectly reasonable to ask for dogs to be kept on a lead in a grave yard imo. This isn't 'anti dog'. Dogs are not equal citizens and whilst it's great to own a pet, you've no right to impose on others. Keep your dog under control, pick up its sh*t and don't expect it to be able to tear around wherever it's wants regardless of other people and everyone will be cool.

Red routes are under the control of TfL others, Southwark. I agree they should all be open to motorcycles.

Trying to use this forum to advertise your own, rip off one, is kind of a dick move if I may say so.

BBC's Ian Watson's analysis of Labour's manifesto: "At its core are three interlinked arguments: First that austerity holds back - rather than helps - economic growth, so Labour would borrow billions for investment. Second, that the better off - not necessarily the fabulously wealthy - along with many businesses should pay more in tax to meet the day to day cost of providing public services. And third, that more regulation - and in some cases re-nationalisation - would ensure businesses operated in the interests both of consumers and the wider economy. Those close to Jeremy Corbyn believe this programme places Labour not on the far left of politics but in the mainstream of northern European social democratic thinking. But the Labour manifesto will break with what's often known as the Anglo-Saxon economic model of lower taxation and flexible labour markets and in doing so, the party is distancing itself not just from the Conservatives but from its New Labour predecessor too." Sounds about right.

It will be intersting to see the final document, fully costed (apparently). Potentially some interesting stuff in there.

I fail to see how you can criticise another poster for commenting on two threads related to recent stabbings as being mawkish, but defend people filming such events (surely more mawkish). I haven't 'heated up' anything, I just expressed a degree of shock that people who had stood around watching and taking pictures hadn't gone to the police. I accept your point about the potential effects of witnessing such an event and hope people might come forward in due course.. that's a fair comment. But the fact that footage has now found itself onto YouTube is disgusting.

Filming a murder and then uploading it to YouTube. Yes, I despair at that. You think it's fine? Someone's death as entertainment?

A video has found its way on to YouTube. I despair.

It is probably the one local road where I do genuinely feel that 30 mph wouldn't be unreasonable.

I assumed it would be served by trains coming from the Herne Hill spur of the Thameslink line. If so, this would mean additional services. Camberwell is a major centre and really does need a central train station imo. Really, there was a very good argument for bringing the tube there, but as the strategy on underground extensions seems to be primarily focussed on subsidising new private housing developments, that's never going to happen. This is the best next option.

The whole thing is ridiculous. May knows Brexit is a disaster, but she feels obliged to play along because, you know.. will of the people and all that. It's a sham.

Blair's government did some great things. His legacy will of course, forever be overshadowed by Iraq. That said, anyone who thinks the then Conservative alternative wouldn't have also blindly followed Dubya into that quagmire wasn't paying attention at the time.

ED and Willow aren't on Lordship Lane. How about: You know you grew up in East Dulwich when you can no longer afford to live here?

So May is now accusing 'Brussels' of interfering in the election. Incendiary, counterproductive and far from being in the national interest. But then the Tories seem happy to destroy relations with Europe in exchange of narrow party interests.

Because she knows that our hand is empty and that people aren't going to like the deal we get

Some rather 'long term' looking concrete blocks have joined the flower beds outside Denmark Hill station. Are these bridges going to be opened any time soon? How is it that they can just be allowed to fall in to disrepair and disuse without any accountability?

I love the Mandelson story. Serioulsy though, anyone photographed eating can be made to look stupid. It was ridiculous when they attacked Ed Milliband for it and it's just as daft now it's May.

Why are there two threads on the election. Perhaps Admin could lock one of them.

Strong and stable government? Or a divided and incompetent Conservative administration which has placed the country in constitutional chaos.. https://infacts.org/may-cheek-claim-strong-stable-leadership/

Fair enough seabag, perhaps my comments a bit unfair. It's just the idea of people standing filming something like this and then not giving that evidence over to the police? I guess it's easy to ignore the stress and shock. I hope they come forward.
