peterstorm1985 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Please explain more - Is this just a talking shop with no powers or purpose? Or are you organising this meeting on behalf of an authority or recognised organisation? It sounded a bit odd that you will send details of the venue and timings to those who PM you. Wouldn't it be better if you posted the details for all to see - or perhaps you are just trying to judge numbers?

SeanMacGabhann Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 opinion is divided uzzyPeckham is what it is - not perfect but I like it. A lot. So do many others. And then there are lots of people who can't get past the surface and think much as pearson does Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I love living in Peckham. But that's because I'm murderous scum, obviously. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
legalbeagle Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I've always suspected as much. You stay away from us posh East Dulwichites, with your saarf London accents and your propensity for violence. Innit. There's no place for you here I tell you, none!>:D< Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzzy112 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yep as I said its many peoples opinion but the media has influenced on peoples opinions. As if someone gets shot in Peckham it reaches the headlines but in other places it doesn?t make such of a difference. That?s why I have made a meeting in spite of this inviting many people from the media reporters to local councillors. So Come along and get the answers.

uzzy112 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 Its not all of peckham legalbeagle as much as crime there is in peckham east dulwich comes to the same amount in many other ways and for the accents you live in south london aswell.

Moos Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Best reaction I've ever had to 'I live in Peckham' (usually it's a stunned silence) was'Oh, is that a real place? I thought they made it up for Only Fools and Horses'...Brilliant.

Axeman Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Honestly, what do you hope to achieve by staging this pointless gathering? Validating hysteria in the company of other needlessly frightened peers?I tell you what, why don't you bring along some knitting to do afterwards whilst you all watch re-runs of Crimewatch. And you can round the evening off by getting Arthur and Stanley to do their impressions of those fackin' coloured kids from Peck'am.Seriously, this meeting you propose will have absolutley no long-term benefit to the community.Instead of focusing on all the negatives, and devoting your spare time to tabloid rumour mills, why not pre-occupy yourselves with all the positive aspects of Peckham. It's only 'bad' because you've allowed the gutter press to convince you that you live in an area that's comparable to Beirut. It's notIn other words, pay less attention to the media pointing at shadows that aren't there. You'll feel alot better for it.

Ridgley Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Peckham has its good and bad points, like any other place ED is the same you have some people nose so high in the air that you need to have it specially stroked and some down to earth people :( Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterstorm1985 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Uzzy12, you say that you have invited media and local councillors. Have any agreed to come?Also, just to clarify, are you suggesting that the media reports crime in Peckham at a disproportionate frequency to elsewhere in London/UK, or that somehow the same level of reporting has more effect on local opinion in this area due to some localised susceptibility to the press?Oh, and what's the purpose? Are you intending to attempt to gag the press or are you after some sort of positive PR campaign for Peckham?

uzzy112 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 The Meeting that will be taking place is about how Peckham is not deprived as the media say there are many benefits the meeting will be like that emphasising on the goodness of Peckham and then the down falls. The Media and the councillors said they would get back to me next week to appoint someone but there will be people from the media coming.Well Peckham in the papers has always been in the eye about all the bad things but its time to change gets Peckham in the papers for a good reason like this meeting. And yes we will be having a little campaign to the media for the positive in Peckham to go in. I hope this answered all the questions please come on join on Tuesday 19th October 2010 @t 2.00pm - 3.00pm At The Harris Academy @ Peckham Thanks Uzzy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterstorm1985 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Sorry Uzzy12, I'm having real trouble understanding your posts. I suspect that you are typing on a blackberry, or similar, and don't realise that one sentence is running straight into the next. Any chance of a bit of punctuation to make sense of that last one?You say that the media are coming; it would be helpful to judge the worth of attending if you would let us know which media outlets are sending representatives. Will it be mainstream media or just local papers?I think you are suggesting that the press gives an unfairly negative impression of Peckham. On a personal note I would say that this is not my impression. My experience of Peckham is that it has high levels of crime but, as long as you are conscious of that, then it's a vibrant place to live, work and shop. I'm not convinced that the mainstream media identifies Peckham as any different. If I lived in the North of the country I might have far more to complain about in terms of media generated image.I'm surprised that you are having this meeting during the day when only the retired, home-makers and unemployed will be able to attend. If the media do send representatives that may not send the right message - it would be a real shame if they reported that the local populous was dominated by non-taxpayers. That is unlikely to benefit the media image. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/13524-local-meeting-postponed/#findComment-366953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned it as you put it far more eloquently than i ever could ;)But seriously, how many people do you expect to turn up when you arrange for such a ridiculous time!

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 To be fair to Uzzy, sometimes it does seem that Peckham is only known for Fools & Horses or Damilola Taylor according to the press; but those of us who live there know that's not the only story. Do we really care what others think? It leaves Peckham for us who know better. I'm cool with that.

Pearson Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 ^another good point :)I'm not sure many of us share Uzzy concern, i for one don't see all this negative press?Bellenden has a fantastic vibe about it with some excellent pr going on.The Windigameigery thing in the park last weekend, Antony Gormley, Franks - The pop up bar...What has East Dulwich??We had a shooting on Barry Road last year, rape earlier this year etc etcDepends what you read and how you interpret things i guess....??

uzzy112 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 yepp sorry im typing on my blackberry. Depends what you read and how you interpret things i guess....?? yepp this is the point of the media influencing others opinion on our society, Well it depends who turns up really you would have your questions answered the time might get changed within the next day depending on how many people are to come. But the real point is making a change in our society a day for your views to be expressed. And with the media I would think they would focus more on the meeting then the other statements wriiten above.
