There's a bus from Lewisham to Brenchley Gardens - could you use that at all? Also, the walk is very straightforward if you ARE on Lordship Lane - it's less than 10 minutes from the top of Lordship Lane near the South Circular across Wood Vale or Honor Oak Road to the top of Forest Hill Road.


I moved from Glengarry Road, near Dulwich Hospital, to Marmora Road, after living in the first place for seven years. I love Marmora and would stay there except we need to buy a four bedroom house and can't afford anything like that in East Dulwich. The street is very peaceful apart from mad golf racer boys on Saturdays and the neighbours I've met have been very friendly. The 63 bus service beats all the Lordship Lane buses, and I've always commuted by bus so I know what I'm talking about! The shops are fine, and you really aren't far from Lordship Lane.

Ah, the 63's not bad - I used to live near Bricklayers Arms til I moved to ED so it was a regular bus for me. A bit sporadic sometimes but a good route. I still occasionally take it to Peckham Rye/East Dulwich Road and walk from there, though it's a bit of a walk to where we are, particularly at night.


I did notice that the neighbours around the south end of East Dulwich seem to be a friendly lot! Flat-hunting in Dunstan Road recently, every single person I walked past offered me a hello or a good afternoon. Lovely! It's not like that in Bermondsey...

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?

      I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612

      That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion”

      I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
