Once whilst in Dulwich Village I saw a wallet with cash notes of tens and twenties spilling out of it on the pavement. I walked over to pick it up but not before an eldery lady came out of the post office, looked around to make sure nooone was looking and swiped the money!! I picked up the wallet and took it to Lordship Lane police staion where they managed to track down the owner who was thankful someone had found his wallet and handed it in as it still contained bank cards etc... I didn't expect anything from him for handing it in as it's what any decent person should do not nick the money like the old lady tut tut!

Did you not feel moved to intervene with the old lady in question? Or might she have been carrying a knife? :-)

I was on across the road from her so by the time I walked over to pick up the wallet she had legged it...well walked off as she was probably in her early seventies! I was in shock aswell at her nerve, going back now I should have probably shouted after her!

Blimey! You must have good eyesight if you could distinguish the notes from the other side of the road! I would have been lucky to have seen the wallet from that distance! Are you sure the old lady didn't make off with a few fifties as well?

I was sitting outside the old restaurant that is now called Rocca with a friend having a coffee and saw a couple of the notes blowing in the wind and then noticed the wallet. I saw the old lady and thought maybe it was hers but no she was only interested in money!

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?

      I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612

      That is a bit cake and eat it tho, isn’t it?    At what point do we stop respecting other people’s opinions and beliefs  because history shows us we sometimes simply have no other choice  you are holding some comfort blanket that allows you to believe we are all equal and all valid and we can simply voice different options - without that ever  impacting on the real world  Were the racists we fought in previous generations different? Were their beliefs patronised by the elites of the time? Or do we learn lessons and avoid mistakes of the past?   racists/bigots having “just as much to say” is both true and yet, a thing we have learnt from the past. The lesson was not “ooh let’s hear them out. They sound interesting and valid and as worthy of an audience as people who hold the opposite opinion”

      I don't have a beef with you. But I do have a beef with people who feel that a certain portion of the public's opinion isn't valid.  I don't like racism any more than anyone else here. But I do dislike the idea that an individual's thoughts, beliefs and feelings, no matter how much I may disagree with them, are somehow worth less than my own.  And I get the sense that that is what many disenfranchised voters are feeling - that they are being looked down upon as ignorant, racists who have no right to be in the conversation. And that's what brings out people on the margins and drives them towards extremes, like Reform.  Whether you like it or not, the racist, bigot, anti-european nextdoor to you has just as much say in the country as you do. Intellectual superiority is never going to bring them round.
