The idea that the park was "designed" for events like a 5-day music festival is misplaced, to say the least. Excerpt taken from Southwark Council website about the park: "Peckham Rye Park and Common is a Victorian park and historic common featuring ornamental gardens, flowing streams, woodland, and a lake. It provides a pleasant refuge for both the local community and wildlife. The garden is an area of tranquillity with sensory summer planting, a winter garden, bug towers, a beehive, a pond, raised beds for community fruit and vegetable growing and a shaded meadow area with a loggery and seating. The entry gates were specially commissioned and designed by Heather Burrell. This is a beautiful oasis of peace amid the bustle of city life. " -
I have met Muffin, and his keeper. Was in fact on stage with them, in Wimbledon. I remember being perturbed by the amount of powder on his keeper's face, and the possible damage that might be done to the grand piano's gleaming polished surface by his prancing about on top of it. My reward for the appearance, afair, was a book or two, and a jam tart. -
I look at some of the things I did and said in my younger days with embarrassment. Some of the behaviours crossed lines that most of us would consider appropriate for today's world. I can say I was a product of my time and my upbringing, where it was seen OK to joke about minorities, gay people and transgender people. Much of this we would have got from popular TV series.. None of what I said and did was intended to be offensive. It was juvenile and/or ignorant, and what many of my peer group did. But I recognise that it was wrong. My standards of behavior continue to evolve, as the world changes around me, and whist there are some things alien to me, I try to understand better. Nothing I did as a teenager or into my 20s comes anywhere near what Farage is purported to have done and said. If there is half a grain of truth in it then where is his apology, and where is he setting the record straight that this is not the way we should behave? -
