Spartacus

Also it would cause issues for buses and bus users, especially the elderly and disabled Good to see you are thinking out of the box, but leave wacky ideas that will increase traffic flows to the council staff who specialise in stupid ideas IMHO

James Conway are at it again, today notices have appeared on cars around the junction of Upland and Barry roads requesting no parking from today with no prior notice that parking restrictions are being imposed. Not good enough in a period when people are still being asked to stay at home and some residents are on enforced isolation Please sort this sort of p!ss poor behaviour from Conway out !

Oh my, can't believe I'm getting requests for this If you can wait for VJ day I'll do a circuit but no publicity or photos please , I don't want to make a spectacle of myself

Sorry Was I at the wrong end of the street when I streaked ? Hence the need for binoculars ? Oh well better luck during VJ day 😎

Love this Nothing more to add IMHO

Hi Alan This was raised to James on the 23rd April as an upcoming issue and he's not responded with a plan of action on how to stop this happening I suggest as well as asking James you contact the head of the council and also the head of highways to get an explanation

Keano your statement of "Unfortunately Spartacus the emotive argument you present will only go so far. The longer lockdown continues in the U.K. the danger is the economy will collapse, house prices and pensions will collapse and unemployment will be unprecedented." Is also a dangerous emotive drive for people to make a decision based on protecting their financial assets, over protecting lives in my mind. My argument above is that the public shouldn't be asked to make a decision because for what ever reason they will be tempted to vote based on their own particular circumstances rather than what is actually best for the country / population as a whole. Maybe there needs to be an external and balanced, in terms of scientific and economical members, committee to review and make decisions on when and how to come out of lock down rather than a public vote

Jim lad, as part of your people's decision are you going to ask the opinion of staff in hospitals who have been working day and night to make sure the numbers of people who die are lower than predicted ? Who have been getting Covid as a result of looking after people who thought the lock down didn't apply to them till they became ill, and who are looking forward to being able to take a bit of time off to catch up on rest, get counselling for PTSD type symptoms after seeing so many extra people die because of Covid ? Or care home workers who, whilst they expect the people they look after to die, are also seeing them die prematurely and the workers are also catching covid either from their patients or from idiots who ignore the lock down ? What about bus drivers, shop staff, restaurant and pub staff and so on who will catch it from someone who didn't isolate when they have symptoms ? Your suggestion of a people's decision makes a mockery of the hard work and sacrifice everyone has made so far to keep the peak low and to try and save the system from being overwhelmed ! Just so that people can get back to work, to stop being inconvenienced and to enable them to go to the pub, watch a football game or other selfish things. Do the lessons from the Spanish Flu pandemic not serve as a warning ? Yes when the time is right, the numbers of new infections are so low that a second wave is not on the horizon then, and only then should we really consider relaxing the lock down in controlled and measures phases, but doing it for any other reason is blatant stupidity and selfish in my opinion.

You have got to love, sorry loath, the bare faces cheek of some during this crisis BBC News - Coronavirus: Camberwell church continuing to sell fake Covid-19 cure https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52480133

Hello James Can you look into the issue that road works are now scheduled by Conway starting the first week of May along Crystal Palace Road (resurfacing) and Barry Road (crossing update and pavement improvements at the area around Barry's Off licence ) These works will obviously require parking restrictions and people to move their cars but no consideration is given to people who are shielded with cars who can't physically get out to move them for another 2 months. Whilst the quieter roads may be an ideal time for Conway to work, it's not a great time for residents. Can these "non essential" works not be postponed until the Vulnerable groups no longer be required to stay home to shield them from the virus. I look forward with eager anticipation to your response as this is possibly being repeated all over Southwark at the moment and as someone elected to represent people (not Conway) then I hope you can stop this blatant stupidity from continuing

On Sky / now TV Babylon Berlin In German with subtitles but compulsive viewing

I stopped doing poker when coal fires were banned in London 😆

James Just seen that "essential works" include closing the pavements along Barry Road for tree trimming , thus causing pedestrians to either walk in the busy main road or cross over and walk close to each other More council madness that should be suspended during the stay at home period as it will stop people being able to safely get to Peckham Rye park for exercise.

Maybe woodcrest also has a broken foot on the opposite leg and is proposing entry to a three legged race when social distancing measured are relaxed 🤔

Hello This is btalkvirgintalk here We've detected your household has a virus Press 1 to talk to one of our engineers who will help rid your household and computer of the virus ....

Keano I'm sure Mrs Bloggs and his 3 children wouldn't agree with you. What makes a has been celeb more important ? Joe could have been about to solve one of life's big mystery for all we know. Foxy I saying if they are going to highlight one death from covid they should highlight them all or no one at all. Your concept would have been the same as saying there should be no war Memorial's erected with soldiers names on. Everyone is supposed to be equal in God's eyes but the media instead wants sensational news to sell. Either mention them all by name or mention no-one's name to be fair to those who can't even go to the funerals of family members at the moment.

What bugs me about this crisis is that they (the media) are focusing on the death of Eddie Large yet very little about the 560 plus others who died in the past 24 hours. Each one of their lives was just as important and valuable to their families and friends and I find it sad that a former celebrity gets more media attention than "ordinary" people. If the media are going to put one death in the spotlight they need to put all those who have lost their fight on the same pedestal. Rant over
