Yes Jones is a farce to be reckoned with on the local political scene. And a terribly rude woman. If she's your role model it does rather explain a lot.


Good luck with the campaign. I will give you this plug: for those voters wanting to pay even more tax to give to those who already scrounge off our beloved system, your party is the right choice and who better to represent it than someone who has lived off the system for so very long.


Vote early and often folks.

Ignore Maurice, everyone else does.


I'm all for local small businesses, I've had a couple myself and my Dad was always running some business or other. It's the big businesses controlling economic and social policy, in the UK and across the globe that I have a problem with.

I'm not sure the winning strategy is to ignore those who don't agree with you, though I think Lady J Jones follows the same play book. Perhaps that explains the Greens lack of progress in winning elections.


Anyway, what policies would you support (along with your other five party members holding office across the whole of the UK) to punish big bad business?

Not sure I can fix the world single handed, but happy to give it a go. In the meantime I suggest you have a read of this

It's a bit long and there are a few difficult words and concepts, but if you get yourself a good dictionary, Maurice, I'm sure you'll manage to absorb some of it.

    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority. 
    • Details here: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/2025/dulwich-library-closing-refurbishment
    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.  
    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: “One of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. “To achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. “We as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.  “This work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274
