Yep... most people are mainly concerned with their own lives, and their friends/families. I think that probably holds true regardless of how much money you have.


The occasional smug middle-class gathering, complete with hackneyed covers band, is really no worse than pumping loud music out of a clapped out Vauxhall Nova every day (a consciously lazy stereotype).

It just boring. So much on this forum gets turned into a debate about class. Don't get me wrong, I'm all up for a thread discussing gentrification, inequality, class and politics, but this one was about a loud garden party (and plenty of others are about lot's of other things, but get similarly diverted).
Otta, sneer all you like, but the abuse I've been dealth with because of lazy stereotypes and assumptions made by people because of where I work has been genuinely nasty and upsetting. Snobbery is lazy, bigotted and repellant no matter who is the target.

Being as I know nothing about you or where you work I won't suggest you grow a backbone. But regarding anything said on this thread, seriously grow a backbone!


I don't like to make everything about class, but as much as rah gets wound u[ by it being mentioned (in this case Lou did kind of jump on the back of my post a bit), I get wound up by people becoming defensive and dismissing every suggestion that people who are a bit better off in life may sometimes sneer at those that aren't. It happens, I've witnessed it throughout my life, both as the recipient and as an observer.





Aaaaaanyway, a party was had, everyone is still alive, and the music has now stopped. Happy ending.

    • For PECKHAM PODCAST @NigelBiggar Lord Biggar CBE came to Peckham, in part to talk with local people, some of whom did not show up on the day. They were a group of local young Black students I had contacted via a local connection. I later learnt that she would not expose her young people 'to that man'. Others had looked him up on Google apparently ... just as well he has links with the Free Speech Union. #Colonialism #Empire #Slavery #SlaveTrade ... if you feel you can risk it, here is that man:    
    • "Unfortunately, over the GALA period the park pond has suddenly become littered with plastic cups and bottles that have been thrown into the water (I assume thrown as not sure how else they would get in there). This may be pure coincidence but prior to last weekend the pond was clear. Does park management have a way to get onto the pond and fish all the plastic rubbish out, I wonder? It can't be good to leave it." it's been very windy the past few days, could be down to that
