I just found this out...

The Race Relations Act came into being in the UK in 1965 (way before the European court)

The equivalent act banning discrimination on sexual grounds or marital status came into being in 1975 ....so women could be discriminated against for a full 10 years after racial discrimination was outlawed- craziness

Not as crazy that both gender and racial discrimination were legal for hundreds of years previously.


(Does anybody else keep thinking this thread is about our own dear Councillor?)

    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
    • We're having a bumper crop of eating apples this year - so many infact that we're wondering what to do with the surplus. Neighbours have had some and we've left some outside the house but I was thinking we could pass some on to a foodbank - or even to Kings if they're allowed to take in fruit?   Suggestions appreciated. 
    • I agree with this. There are lot's of shops selling similar foods. And the two shops aren't positioned that close together - further from each other than say Franco Manca and Yard Sale, or Bruno's and Dynamic Wines, etc.
