Newspaper cuttings in bus stop?

[chichirara]

Has anyone noticed the board of dubious newspaper cuttings on the 63 bus stop opp the Rye. It was there Tuesday at 5.30 is it always there Why!

[zephyr]

what's on the cuttings?

I take the 63 to work, never noticed that. Do you mean the one by Barry Road or a bit further down towards Peckham proper?

I used to live in ED over a year ago and got buses from that stop every day. Most weeks a new cutting went up - usually a patriotic, nationalist, boardering-on-racist rant detailing some crime or other committed by immigrants or anyone who looked foreign (though probably as British as the person writing the rant). I always used to tear them down.... He/she obviously hasn't given up!

They sound like the bits of paper that are put up on the window of the old newsagent next to the Goose Green Roundabout

I think I know the type you mean, there is usually a couple up under the railway bridge at East Dulwich Station, not actually stopped to read myself though.

I've had a look at those, not close up though. But the cuttings all focus on how gun crime and lawlessness is taking over London. Then there's a yellow sheet attached to it, presumably which has the info about who put up all the clippings. As I don't get off at that bus stop, I've not felt the need to investigate further!

Its the bus stop by Barry Road, theres a notice board and pastings. it must be the same person although I too didnt read them. Didnt want people to think I agreed. Someone should take them down, if I get a chance Ill go back round.

I had a brief look at them yesterday (it's been torn down already) and it seemed to be the ravings of a Daily Mail reader, aka ignorant fascist! (Though the ED Forum isn't the place for political agendas I'm sure!). There were some stories about guncrime, but it seemed to have more about immigration and how "those damned foreigners are ruining our country" etc etc.

I did think it quite a good idea though and even though it was uneducated and banal, it was something different to read in the morning for a change.

I remember encountering a rather odd chap, middle-aged, bald and bearded, on New Oxford Street who was distributing photocopies of a tightly-typed document he had apparently written detailing how wrong it was of the authorities to object to the fact that he was attracted to women oriental origin and naming the various forms of harassment he had experienced from the authorities that had caused the break-up of his marriage to one such lady. The rambling, repetitive, incoherent style made it quite clear that he was mentally disordered but, let me tell you, if I had half his passion about anything as he had about his particular bug-bear, I would set the world alight.
