Hi I'm one of the co-leaders for the Southwark Branch of the Women's Equality Party, I run a business in East Dulwich and lived here for 7 years, I now live on the edge! We are interested in engaging with more women in East Dulwich and surrounding areas who would like to get involved with the WEP on a local level and campaign on issues that affect women. We are also seeking those who want to get involved with the local council elections next year - in whatever capacity - door knocking/leafleting - or standing themselves as a councillor. To this end we have an event at the Feminist Library in Waterloo on Tuesday and it would be great to have more locals come along - more details follow:

WE want to encourage more women to feel able to stand for local elections next year and for government in the future.

Peckham Resident, WEP GLA Candidate (2016) and former Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate (2010), Barrister Jo Shaw shares her experiences of being a candidate for two different parties. Robert Jamieson from Southwark CAN (Community Action Network) gives us his insights into how to navigate the Local Government System in order to get your voice heard and on the flipside what?s expected of a Councillor once they are voted in.

We also have a current serving councillor coming along to share her experiences.

Join us for refreshments from 18.30, talks will start at 7pm. A donation will be requested to cover the costs of hiring the library.

If you are interested in volunteering generally within the branch or joining the WEP please contact me - you'd be most welcome!

  Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say. Take care Sue.
- Do you feel unsafe in London?

  I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire. I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there. See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little. To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.

  I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September. Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week. It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor. I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September. They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.

  "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"? Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum. For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like, within the forum rules, as can anybody else Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
