I'm sorry, I don't know the year, Louisa.


Here's the text that goes with the photos. A film buff could work it out.

Where the new flats are next to the school. I remember going there as a kid in the sixties, in the early 70s it was turned over to a religious sect and called the Palace of Peace. The so-called guru turned out to be a charlatan (No surprise there), spending money on women and Rolls Royces etc etc, after that it was offices for a while before being demolished at an estimated guess about 8 to ten years ago.

I think the pent-up demand for a cinema is not quite as feverish as it was for a butchers before William Rose arrived, but it might not be far off. But the only buildings/sites I would have thought suitable candidates have been put to other uses (the gym near Thomas More Hall and Foxton's being the sites I had in mind)

I had a business meeting there many years ago when I was managing a business development grant. They imported, personalised and distributed watches, etc. Quite nice having a meeting 5 minutes walk from home, rather than a thousand miles away for a change.

Have to say I disagree with you re. the Rolls Royces. I saw the said 'Guru' a couple of weeks ago in the NEC in Birmingham and one thing he happened to mention were the stories about all his cars which existed years ago i.e the 70's

He went on to say that if he did have that number of cars he was supposed to have he wouldn't have chosen Rolls!

As for the women, when he went to the Palace of Peace he would have been a teenager. He is now nearly 50. In the interests of honesty I don't believe he can be accused of being a charlatan either.

My word your gullible aren't you. You don't seriously believe all that crap do you.

I once went in the Palace of Peace with a friend of mine. We were very stoned and a couple of "disciples" came up to us and said "oh you're the chosen ones....come and have something to eat/drink....blah blah blah..." Silly f**king hippies.

You insult me for what exactly? You went somewhere once, very stoned and met some hippies? Thirty years later I'm gullible and believe in crap. Maybe I'm both but you sure as hell don't know. Talk to you when you grow up.

now now boys, chill out. everyone's entitled to their opinions, being called gullible is not exactly an insult.

Personally think the Divine Light lot a load of twaddle. Anyone that keeps their so called "knowledge" a secret until they deem you are "ready", well - not very enlightened is it? Jesus handed his out to any one that would listen, as did Mohammed and Buddah.

      Why would you have to look for "a good reason to not vote for the greens"? What a very strange thing to say. Would you like to explain your logic?

      This is a remarkable interpretation of history. Wikipedia (with more footnotes and citations than you could shake a shitty stick at sez: The austerity programme was initiated in 2010 by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government. In his June 2010 budget speech, Osborne identified two goals. The first was that the structural current budget deficit would be eliminated to "achieve [a] cyclically-adjusted current balance by the end of the rolling, five-year forecast period". The second was that national debt as a percentage of GDP would fall. The government intended to achieve both of its goals through substantial reductions in public expenditure.[21] This was to be achieved by a combination of public spending cuts and tax increases amounting to £110 billion.[26] Between 2010 and 2013, the Coalition government said that it had reduced public spending by £14.3 billion compared with 2009–10.[27] Growth remained low, while unemployment rose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_government_austerity_programme From memory, last time around they were against the LTNs and competing with the Tories to pick up backlash votes - both failed. They had no counterproposals or ideas about how to manage congestion or pollution. This time around they're simply silent on the matter: https://www.southwark-libdems.org.uk/your-local-lib-dem-team/goosegreen Also, as we have seen from Mr Barber's comments on the new development on the old Jewsons yard, "leading campaigns to protect the character of East Dulwich and Goose Green" is code for "blocking new housing".
