Friends of mine who live in Kennington were next door neighbours to Jack Straw and always had armed police stationed in the street when he was home secretary. Ought to reduce the contents insurance premium!

I remember my cousin telling about 7/7... She was on the train behind the one that was bombed at Kings X... She was told by her office (very big law firm) to come in to work ASAP!!! Later that day there was a bomb scare, and she received a memo telling her to lower her bomb blind and continue working!!!!!


She has since left the firm!

My mate lives a couple of doors down from the house that is being 'guarded' by nice policemen with rifles. They arrived about 10pm on Thursday night so is in no way connected with the car bomb attempts in London as that didn't kick off till Friday morning.


He said he saw the shift change on Friday evening and witnessed a woman pumping them for information but to no avail, all they said was that it was a 'precaution'. We thought maybe it was witness protection or summat.


How on earth do people find out about the home secretary's sister living there! Now that is some serious jungle drums.

Gosh, I'm moving back to ED after a three-year sojourn in Poole and I'm already nervous/exhilarated by all the goings-on (#40 window-smashing, etc). A few years ago I lived in Pimlico opposite a cabinet minister and there were always police stationed outside. Very helpful and tolerant of our drunken cone-stealing they were too.

My husbands building firm is based on choumert road and for the last few weeks my darling and his workmates have had the pleasure of being eyeballed by the police who stand guard over our home secretary.They think its because they are all from belfast,i think its because they need to wash their faces of a morning and at least be a bit presentable while they stand and drink their tea on her doorstep.I personall feel sorry for my hubby he looks the most suspicious with his loud belfast accent,big boots,scar and tattoos >:D

      How oversubscribed are the local schools? Will they be able to take on students who are currently privately-educated?

      By lollol · Posted

      Southwark and Lambeth may have some spaces but this is not the case of other London boroughs nearby particularly at secondary level. Also this is not just a London issue. There are many regions throughout the UK that have no school places available (eg Kent due to new housing developments, rural areas, Surrey, Guildford, Edinburgh etc). Just because you feel it doesn’t affect you, does not mean it’s right.  You also need to consider the proportion of foreign students in many of the private schools in the area which distorts the impression that local people can pay private school fees and suck up an additional £4-5k per child and per year. And sadly, the psychological and emotional impact on children is not even being discussed.

      Education not taxation - please consider signing this petition!

      By lollol · Posted

      Step in a child’s shoes just for one moment and think what it would be like to have to move schools in the middle of the year away from your friends, teachers, community etc. due to a political stunt. I doubt the money will even go into education. The UK will be become the only European country to tax education. Primary schools have some capacity where I live but I have enquired and there are currently no places for secondary school where I live. Again, so easy to be smug and say we should have pre planned a potential outcome 5 years ago when you live in your £2-3m homes next to the best state schools in Dulwich (like Keir Starmer!)

      Birth rate collapses sounds a bit like Armageddon.  It's a mixture of a decline following a bulge, where many schools had to increase intake, and families moving out of the capital due to high cost of housing.  Now that is an irony, that only wealthy families, many who can afford private schooling, can afford to live in many parts of London.
