sean, I think we have to separate membership of an organisation and the question of whether an individuals beliefs adversely impact their ability to do a job properly. I would say that both of the examples you mention are in the latter category. I accept that membership of the BNP is likely to mean that an individual has an approach that is incompatable with being a police officer or teacher, but I am still uncomfortable with the direction the proscribed organisation route takes us down

Whilst I find the views espoused by the BNP repugnant, I do feel very uncomfortable will restricting the rights of an individual in a certain line of work from freedom of association. If we are to say that police/teachers etc cannot belong to the BNP is it much of a stretch to foresee a time where you could not join such a profession without being a member of an "approved" organisation?

Ta. No worries

Update: Due to be fixed tomorrow

I think the loss of signal is linked to a power cut that has affected the street lighting at the far end of the road. The signal from the terrestrial aerial is also down. I have called the management company and they are looking into it. Cheers

Had food there on Friday and (other than the chips) was very disappointed again. Would give it a miss for food if I were you. Rear beer garden is still an okay spot.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that any school is "inherently crap". Jamma, for your suggestion to work parents are going to have to make a decision to potentially compromise their childs education in the hope that, in time, enough sufficiently engaged parents will do the same and standards improve. I for one am not willing to do that, and make no apology for it.

Living on Coldharbour Lane was always a favourite but noticed it's now boarded-up. Does anyone know why?

Afternoon everyone, Does anyone have experience of the nursery in Sainsbury's car park? My 18 month old has been offered a place there and, although we've been obviously visited and it seems okay, I'd be grateful for any first hand experiences. Ta. Andy

Apologies, just seen the other thread. Doh

Anyone else spotted the article on page 17 of The Times today? Sound familiar?

I'm sorry, but what sort of message does it send out to kids if you cynically go to church to get them into a particular school. I have a 1 year old daughter and I refuse to teach her that kind of lesson.

Thanks everyone for the input. In reality I guess its pretty much a lottery as presume all are oversubscribed - but good to hear that most seem to be good/improving. After 35 non-church going years I can't bring myself to go that route. Thanks again

Hello all, I'd be grateful for anyone's experiences/views of the primary schools in East Dulwich. Am considering moving to the area from outside London and have a 2 year old daughter who will clearly need educating. Cheers, Andy

Have never really understood why someone's religious beliefs deserve a greater degree of respect than that given to any other view they might hold.

Saw a a great picture in the Evening Std a couple of days ago of a bag a London art student is making and selling with the tag line : "I'm not a smug tw*t."
