Spartacus

This was reposted by "open our roads"and whilst it reflects Waltham Forest it also shows all London boroughs. Time for local councils to wake up to the issues the LTNs are causing and the very real risk of paramedics not getting to people in time.

Typical journalist with a contradictory request "It's not political" and "share any practical issues/difficulties caused by Brexit" If it was truly non political you should be asking for positives and negatives to produce a balanced article not a one sided biased article.

It's the same down Rye Lane, although that's in part caused by the lane being closed to traffic so the taggers feel free to spray without being observed from passing bus passengers or police patrol cars. One of the downsides of closing a shopping area to traffic without increasing security.

Is there a dedicated traveler site in Dulwich village ? Lucky H'ffer anyone ?

Is the square big enough for a fun fair ? Imagine noisy rides , lights, feral youths Friends of Dulwich square scream if you've had enough!😱

It's interesting to see the tweet slarti b , The mention of discussions with the highways officers implied that they have the true power in these schemes and the councillors can only input to the idea. I could be wrong but it feels like this is being run by council officers and they can play the long game as their jobs are safe but the councillors get voted in or out every five years.

Duncanw, it's a curiosity,I didn't infer anything, you are trying to read between the lines too much and making your own conclusion. But to put the record straight, I find any mayor of London an expensive layer of bureaucracy that possibly isn't needed. After all between the abolition of the GLC and the first new mayor we didn't have the whole circus and things ran without any real problems.

I learnt that "I have the power" and Ianr does not

I was listening to, without watching, the BBC 10 o'clock news tonight and thought they were advertising a new episode of Red Dwarf as I swear I heard Arnold Rimmer speaking, then I looked up and saw it was Kier Starmer launching labours run up to local elections. I now can't watch him without hearing Space Corp Directive 435, no opposition leader should wear plaid in the house of commons 😱

Today I learnt that sad crab is a spammer

I find that you report it, they respond a few days later saying in the next few days it will be collected and in reality it will be the next actual scheduled collection day ... The covid situation seems to have slowed the whole reporting process down but hopefully I'm wrong and you will have a better experience.

Is that down to half of London believing Khan has done a good job or a case of not wanting a Tory mayor ? Would be interesting to understand rationale

There is a story on the news that Meghan had now complained about Piers' comments to ITV ... Does this potentially mean that anyone who disagrees with her comments on here will be contacted by her lawyer ?

Beware of the trick question Is anyone staying overnight on census day that doesn't normally live with you ? We're in a lock down when staying at other people's houses are banned ....

I wonder if piers will stand now he's out of work 🤔😂

My feeling is that things like this should be taken with a pinch of salt and the facts examined not the hysteria around the story. The Piers thing for example attracted a lot of complaints to ofcom, but I have to question how many of those complaining actual saw him say it and how many are jumping on a social media bandwagon and complaining without actually having seen the event happening? Their complaints aren't ant less important but would they have occurred if they weren't told about it? 🤔 We are becoming a society where we judge via social media based on what Karen put on facebook without examining the truth to draw our own conclusions.

I do wonder what Meghan's longer game plan is? Talk show host, book(s) , film on her life ,political role? It seems to me that she is setting the stage up for something bigger in her mind. Hopefully the Americans will tire of their story soon when it runs out of new shocking revelations about how the Queen trained the Corgis to poop in her shoes or similar and they will fade from public view after her fifteen minutes of fame. Oh well back to the pandemic which is blighting real lives all around us.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill?the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill?you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

Are any of the candidates standing on a "consultations required for traffic management schemes, expansion of the ULEZ and LTNs" agenda ? They could very well get a lot of support if they did 🤔
