Our Heathy Streets is FARCE. The traffic along East Dulwich Grove is backing up like never before.. Static vehicles are pumping out pollution. The only way to get the Council to change their minds is DIRECT ACTIOM. The best locations for protest are:- 1. Lordship Lane junction with EDG 2. Dulwich Village junction with Red Post Hill. Pedestrians can block these junctions very effectively by just crossing the road continuously or by lying down in the road. Advance alerts to the media will bet them involved and provide widespread coverage. A bit of positive action will make the Councillors review their crazy ideas. To the barricades!!!

More pieces of the Covid jigsaw puzzle have been falling into place. The French sold China all the technology and design for an advanced virus laboratory in Wukan. Any such lab can be used to develop germ warfare products. When it was established, the Chinese refuse to allow the French access the the laboratory. See... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/coronavirus-china-bars-safety-experts-from-wuhan-lab-brbm9rwtm China did not advise the WHO until January that there was a new virus existed until January but subsequent evidence has emerged that it was actually out and spreading as far back as October. Covid19 has now been analysed and found to have a range of characteristics which is believed to be impossible to have developed naturally. One such characteristic is the asymptomatic transmission. Others are the wide range of detrimental effect that it has on victims. Organs affected include lungs, blood, brain and for survivors their health can be impaired long term. This indicates beyond reasonable doubt that the Chinese have been cutting and splicing various viruses in their labs and that Vovid19 escaped. This week we learned that China has developed a vaccine (surprise, surprise) which it is going to innoculate all its military. https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/1942868/chinese-coronavirus-vaccine-approved-for-military-use This week Kong Kong was hit by the big fist of Beijing. What will the do next?

Tell me of a government that builds homes for its population. It is possible if you want to live in a 1945 type prefab. They were really good and some still exist after 75 years. These would be really affordable, depending on the cost of acquiring the land. Would you be happy with that? Nowadays, building regs and health and welfare issues would not permit that approach. Would you abolish all these controls? For government to spend money on building homes, it would have to borrow it. But just like using a credit card, govt has to pay it back. Where do they get the money to pay it back? They get it from taxes. Do you want higher taxes or do you want your children and grand children to pay it back, with interest on top?

The targeted scapegoats then were the Jews. I wouldn't agree that migrants are the current scapegoats as the current Liberal/Left axis is too influential/vocal in the media - particularly the BBC.

Don't let them put you off Unc. These personal attacks are designed to do just that. It's a tactic that activists of a certain persuasion use. This is analysed neatly in this book https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JXNyDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT142&lpg=PT142&dq=socialists+always+use+intimidation&source=bl&ots=hGwrsK8zbQ&sig=ACfU3U1U-W65WopZ2S9xEjZjq7bABj0SuQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj1_ofgg6XqAhWyunEKHZWXBkUQ6AEwCXoECAYQAQ#v=onepage&q=socialists%20always%20use%20intimidation&f=false This and any forum would be diminished if it only contained the views of a minority of blinkered bully boys.

It's just that I'm looking for a couple of lengths of old joists or rafters say about 5" wide by about 6 feet long.

We were told by the bin men that the small brown bin/container was to be used as a temporary bin within the house and that it should be tipped into the big brown bin just prior to the bin men doing the weekly collections. Makes sense as it saves them handling two bins at every location.

Now you can't splash out on your annual foreign holiday(s) , what are you all going to spend the dosh on?

Water does not hydrate you In 2011 the EU banned drink manufactures from claiming that water can prevent dehydration. EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove drinking water prevents dehydration. Producers of bottled water are forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict. The move was criticised as being both at odds with science and common sense. The NHS, which says dehydration occurs ?when your body loses more fluid than you take in?, advises drinking fluids to help ward off dehydration. from the Express

For the last 8 weeks the media has provided almost non-stop detailed information about CV19 so any thinking adult could readily assimilate the information and make a reasonable assessment on the risks and outcomes of whatever behaviour they decide to follow. If you want to live in a nanny state just admit it. Otherwise, make your own interpretation of all the information at your disposal. If you cannot form your own behaviour strategy then ask Citizens Advice and don't listen to James O'Brien on LBC

It is a pleasure to read your objective analysis about CV19 rather than the tribalistic political vitriol that is spewed by the regular suspects on this forum.

Questioning the government about managing the pandemic is something we are all entitled to do in this democracy. What some of us find farcical is the political opportunism by Labour whereby they continually pressurise Govt to come up with a detailed plan for ending lockdown - without issuing any plan of their own. If Labour want to lead the country some day they should formulate a plan, publish it and let population evaluate it. It's akin to the dithering Corbyn did over the EU debate. It's a case of put up or shut up!

The UK has a huge trading deficit with the EU so they have more to lose than us if WTO terms prevail. The fact that M. Barnier is whinging now is that he realises that the UK will not extend. The EU default ploy has always been to extend negotiations just wear the other side down. They did this with Ireland and Denmark on previous votes. With Southern Europe fast approaching debt meltdown, the EU is stuffed long term and we are better off out of it. France will try and achieve closer integration with Berlin and the Netherlands. The rest will be cast adrift. Boris would do well to tell them to where to go in no uncertain manner.

Good luck to Mr Simms' sweet shop. A lot of small businesses are finding it incredibly difficult at present and many will go out of business. Their minimum order for delivery is a modest ?5 so one can just imagine the miniscule profit made on that.

Can anyone recommend a local supplier of metal ductwork? We are looking for 10" (250mm) circular spiral type.

I have been superbly successful in getting mine down by change of diet to the extent that I am now off statins completely:- Breakfast:- 1. Fruit & nut muesli 2. Oat bran (1.5 spoonfuls) 3. Soya milk Mix and leave to soak overnight in fridge Lunch 1. Broccoli florets (Raw) 2. Plum tomatoes 3. Red grapes 4. Braeburn apple 5. Tzatziki Mix in blender then dress with olive oil. (The broccoli/tomato mix is benefit is greater than the sum of the parts) Dinner:- Small portion of fish or chicken with 3 different veg. )h, and the odd glass of Syrah Works for me!

One consideration that has not so far been mentioned is wind direction. If you are following someone who is say 2 metres in front and there is a head wind then you are going to get a steady stream of exhaled breath from the person in front. It's not do much an issue in an open space like a park but on a pavement the wind is channelled by the buildings so that it usually blows in parallel to the pavement.

Surely now is the time to fix the potholes whilst there is so little traffic.

It can be a real PIA if the shell breaks!

We are a local business with an ecommerce web site. Like all web sites, a large part of success depends on the Google search rankings. Apart from key words, the main determinant in ranking is the number of backlinks a site has. Therefor the more backlinks a site has the better. This is why I am looking to set up reciprocal backlinks with other small (or large) businesses. Reciprocity brings worthwhile benefits to both parties. The backlink can be very discrete or even invisible but all are still picked up by Google Analytics. It just needs one and it can be located under a full stop or other punctuation mark anywhere on a page. It can also be placed as a dot obscurely down in the footer or in a minor page anywhere on the site. If you would like to progress this please send me a PM.

One odd thing is that the lady reading the bus timetable is inside the police barrier tape. The other is that the power cable only appears in the first image . Otherwise it looks fairly authentic.
