    Really like HBB and conveniently located for the playground (though perhaps best not go back to that discussion).

    Sorry, meant to say "...on the right side of the river"
  3. Earl Aelfheah
    We're people of passion this side of the river.

    Still south london in the postcode sense though

    ... the other factor in this, is that as a nation, we have played a role in the events which have destablised some of the countries from which people are fleeing. That puts no small responsibility on us to help them.

    Clearly, they couldn't just come here, but they should be extended southeast, to camberwell and brixton, peckham and yes, Nunhead and Dulwich. The topography is irrelevant, there are plenty of areas with hills, which have then already. Bear in mind, they're not just for cycling into town, but for making short local trips - or connecting to train and tube stations. It would be great to be able to cycle to brixton tube for example, or into Peckham.

    With no tube, no superhighway, painfully slow bus services and trains into London Bridge hugely disrupted for the next few years at least, a little investment in SE London transport infrastructure in the form of 'Boris Bikes' doesn't seem unreasonable.
  8. Earl Aelfheah
    Would be great.

    david_carnell is spot on. Also, our history and cultural reach - the fact that we once colonised much of the globe means that many people have some sort of link to the UK and / or speak English.

    I agree, Goldsmith v Jowell will be a good battle.
  12. Earl Aelfheah
    Shit! SHIT!

    If you're rude in the lounge do you get banished to the general thread?

    See zac goldsmith is definitely running. Interesting. Much as I dislike the Tories, he seems genuinely principled and thoughtful.

    Foxy and Otta's comments are right of course.

    " The Board of Trustees seeks to manage the endowment in the long-term interests of all the Charity?s Beneficiaries. Success in achieving this objective is measured in terms of increasing, in real terms after allowing for inflation, the annual income distribution to the Beneficiaries and maintaining the value of the Charity?s assets." This is their only stated objective (at least according to their website).
  17. Earl Aelfheah
    The Dulwih Estate's stated objectives are simply to increase the amount of money the can make for their beneficiaries (a small number of elite public schools). http://www.dulwichestate.co.uk/about/objectives I'm not sure they're in anyway interested in conservation (or much else of benefit to anyone but a privileged minority).

    I wish Louisa no ill will. She's never (as far as I've seen), been aggressive or abusive. But still, you can't have one person repeatedly taking thread after thread off topic - driving any discussion down the same 'gentrification' cul-de-sac. It was putting a lot of people off using the forum.
  19. Earl Aelfheah
    I don't know the details of this development, but flood risk, inconvenience and congestion all sound like potentially valid concerns. I just don't think it helps to couch your objections in emotive terms of child safety.
  20. Earl Aelfheah
    of course, it's possible that *Bob*, Louisa and Foxy are all the same person.
  21. Earl Aelfheah
    I'm not sure that the 'will nobody think of the children' angle is necessarilly the best approach on this
  22. Earl Aelfheah
    I have to agree with Loz regarding the 'they don't have a mandate' argument. Clearly the Conservative's won the election (with a majority) and that gives them the only mandate they need. That said, it's also perfectly legitimate for people to protest as a way of expressing their views / trying to change opinion.... And, celebrities are just as entitled to express a view as anyone else.
  23. Earl Aelfheah
    The whole 'champagne socialist' label is lazy. If you're poor, you're accused of the 'politics of envy' and if you have money, you're called a champagne socialist -it's just a way of those who don't agree with other's political views, to shut down debate. It's playing the man instead of the ball. It's perfectly legitimate to be on the left (or right) of politics, whatever your income.

    Things were cheaper 30 or 40 years ago. Who'd have funk it?
