Somewhere around 86 or 87 I think, though that was in another century, indeed millenium - remember support gigs at the Mean Fiddler and (I think) the Swan in Stockwell better...if there's virtue to be signalled I'm always head of the queue!


ETA God almighty I've done the maths and realise I was eighteen thirty years ago, blimey that went quick...

We also went and it was a great atmosphere. I'm sure it makes not the slighest difference to the powers that be, but at least we made some noise and made ours views felt. Learnt something from one banner "Boris was sent by God to get us out of the EU" Mind you the guy holding the banner was dressed as a little elf without any trousers so perhaps not too reliable.

Totally agree with all of this (including the bit about unfair criticism of the bbc).



But still think it's good that people are showing that they don't want it. They have EVERY right to voice their opinions, and Theresa May and her gang must absolutely not be allowed to take us out with the message that it's what "the British people" wanted.


I don't believe for a second that it will be halted, but I will never accept that something this big should be done off of a 52/48 split. It's a recipe for disunity.

I've seen him at Dulwich Park and Southwark Crown Court (outside). It might be a wild stab that he's also the author of the mimeographed screeds stuck on on the wall by the playpark at Goose Green.

It was a lovely afternoon. The turn up was good. It was sort of an antithesis to some of my earlier protests - Gulf War, Poll tax, anti-apartite in the lack of venom. This was like minded people, frustrated, but without anything we could really do about the situation. Don't knock it.


Shame on the BBC for not giving it greater coverage.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
