The woman gets a lot of stick on this forum about not showing her face in the area, but I remember a particularly glorious day when she stood at the bottom of Bawdale Road with a banner as part of the (very tiny) East Dulwich Rubbish! campaign. She was helping to complain about the fly-tipping that used to exist at the bottom of the road ...

Interesting how sightings of Ms Jowell is around election time.


I went to see her about a politically sensitive matter - the shutting of a government funded organisation. This would (and did) result in the loss of the jobs of local people - but was as a result of a Cabinet decision.


A local MP would have put her constituents jobs first - she put the Government first and ran like a rabbit.


I have no political axe to grind, but I am not impressed by Ms Jowells priorties.

In my family HH is known as "do you know who I am Harman" after her performance at a local hospital trying to visit out of visiting hours and pressing staff to let her to the bedside because of her "status".


We've all heard about Two Jags Prescott, Labour?s former Deputy Leader. Now Harriet Harman is not only Deputy Leader and Chairman of the Labour Party, she is Leader of the House of Commons and is still supposed to be MP for Camberwell and Peckham (which now extends to the Lewisham boundary and takes in elements of East Dulwich). Despite the fact that she has been the local MP for 25 years, ask almost anyone on the street and they?d be hard pressed to say who she was. It?s time for her to go to the Lords and let us elect someone who will focus on looking after Camberwell and Peckham. Heaven knows we still have big problems, of genuine concern to the people that live here. Crime, education, jobs, the health service, especially the impending closure of the Maudsley Emergency Clinic, all these things could do with some attention from a hardworking local MP

I disagree Keef. I really think MPs should where possible, live in their consituencies. I know this isn't possible with most as they have to spend so much time in London, taking part in Parliamentary debates, scrutinising legislation and raising constiuency issues with Government.... Anyway, I see no reason why London MPs can't, in Tessa's case Westminster a stones throw away.


It's just, well, bad form.

But maybe she just doesn't want to live in ED..... I don't honestly see how it makes a difference, as long as she's doing a good job for the people that do live there....


Now I'm not saying she does or doesn't do a good job, I personally haven't had dealings. I'm just making the point that I don't think it matters if she's around or not.

I have never been able to comprehend how, given that our MP was Minister in Charge of the Olympics, we are getting ZERO benefit from the Olympic activity.


All of the transport infrastructure is going elsewhere and I would give the East London Line phase 2 a cat-in-hells change of being delivered post 2012.


There was a punlic consultation about a tram link from Camden to Peckham - but that has gone quiet.


Whats the point in having an MP with power if she does bog all of fundamental benefit to the area? She may support this campaign or that that movement and wear a Dulwich Hamlet top when the cameras around, but we want to see better transport links, better schools and less crime.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
