Indeed - Brockwell Park surpassed my expectations. I'm always a bit indifferent to fireworks after a couple of minutes, but a pint in the PR and then fireworks to music from the last 200 years was really excellent and all paid for by our neighbours over in Lambeth...

Given that this is what we are capable of can someone explain why we are still fascinated by burning piles of wood.


Hyper Facade Berlin


Incidentally if you want to recreate this on your house in ED, they mapped the facade of a real building in Berlin, then created a virtual image of it, then put the real building in darkness and projected the virtual image onto it along with computer effects. Honestly it's about an afternoons work and about ?50, your kids will think you're so cool.

Because fire's tangible, and hot, and destructive, and dangerous, and evocative, and romantic, and primal, and smells great, and sounds great, and stirs the imagination, and you can cook potatoes in it.


Whereas that's, you know a powerpoint presentation with delusions of grandeur.

    • What do you base those statements on?
    • I suppose I'd assume that Councillor McCash, who is, as I recall, a self-confessed revolutionary Marxist, had hoped to take Southwark Labour down his chosen route - when he lost his leadership bid he must then have been looking for a party which shared his ultra-left views (ultra-left at least in the light of Starmer's interpretation of socialism). The Greens, for him, clearly fit that role. After that his timing was all about benefiting his chosen (new) party - at least he didn't stand for Labour and then defect giving the Greens an unexpected 3 year seat. As someone who doesn't share the wings of his political position I don't wish him well (politically) - but neither do I wish him ill as a 'punishment' for his defection.  
    • Agree with all the sentiments above. Hope it doesn't change too much and above all I really hope it stays independent and avoids becoming the same as all the chain pubs in the area.
    • This move won't advance his career in Southwark. He'll have to leave the cabinet now for a couple of months and won't get back on it in May. He might win a council seat but the Greens won't win control of the council and Labour won't have him anywhere near the levers of power. His only (and presumably intended) route for advancement will be for the Greens to offer him PCC seat somewhere in the general election in 2029. By then the Greens will be toast. They might even be finished by this Friday if they don't win the Gorton by-election.
