The Green Party are almost as impoverished as me, and their HQ is overcrowded, draughty and generally crap. They definately need to move to a better space, but seeing as we don't take donations from corporate policy makers, we have to make do with subscriptions, and they don't stretch to rent for swanky HQ buildings.

You'll be proud to know I just had a read of the Green Party's website. Very convincing, in a rose coloured sort of way.


I was especially keen to find out what the party thinks about population growth. It seems to suggest the number of children one chooses is 'personal choice'. But then dances around the issue of 'too many people' and 'overcrowded, overstretched planet'.


You've four children, which is your free choice wholeheartedly supported by your party. Is there a conversation to be had about how many is too many?

Were Labour or the Tories faced with such an issue they'd go and 'borrow' a pile of cash from persons unstated who live outside the UK. That's far more sleazy but requires real journalism which the Metro and its parent, the Standard Evening don't do.


Maurice, do you know Louisa?

Maurice - I am finding it very hard to ignore you rantings particularly when you train them in the same directions every time. CWALD hasn't done anything to you so why must you keep attacking her? I find it really distasteful. For such a 'traditionalist' you lack chivalry instead you're more akin to amisogynist.


Get a life, get an interest, for **** sake and rejoice! You remind me of Alf Garnet character who has forgotten to take prozac. Even if CWALD doesn't object to what you say I do.

What about a large marquee - in a field - in the countryside - with wind-up telephones and holes in the ground to poo in? That would be quite environmentally friendly, I do believe.

Dom - but the Green Party like to promote localism, so all that travelling to and from the field would have to be a no no.


Downsouth - Thank you for your gallant rescue, but I did accuse Mr Mo of having Asperger's, so I suppose he has some excuse to get personal.

I think he's just like one of those shy little boys in the playground who can't tell you that they have a crush on you, so they run up and pull your hair or push you or something. Only problem with that though, is that girls like me lacked the sensitivity to suss this out and beat the crap out of them instead.

Hyde Parke? St James's? Dulwich Park? When I said 'field' I meant green space generally so am happy to accept the above locations. I mean, there is a city-farm at Vauxhall within spitting distance of the MI6 building (it's true - I used to go there at lunch when I worked locally and would speak to the horses, pigs and wildfowl).


Anyway CWALD, I have a crush on you too, but don't want to pull your pigtails as that would be crewell!!!

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
