Does any one want to join the Green Party and maybe stand in their area in the future?


I'm Southwark Green Party membership secretary and convenor so I'll get you signed up and doing useful stuff straight away if you PM me.


We also have a supporters e-list if anyone wants to go on that and you don't have to be a member for that.

Ok it went something like this.


I won with 2500 votes, oops no that was my dream last night.


Oh yeh I remember, the Lib Dems got about 1200 votes, Labour about 600, Conservatives 260 I think, Greens (me!) got 122 and UKIP got 49.


The turnout was 25% which is only 1% less than the full council elections and is apparently a good turnout.


The Lib Dems and Labour fought really hard for this ward so getting 122 for us underfunded, understaffed Greens wasn't too bad!


It was all quite exciting being at the count. I missed it last time because I had exams, so it was nice to get to see democracy in action.


Pity the Lib Dem coalition still has the balance of power in the council, it would have been nice for them to have lost it, because I would love to see someone be able to challenge them. Lets see if they have any defections!


Anyway, I'm sure we'll be doing battle again sometime in the future.


Goodnight peeps.

    • That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?
    • This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4.  We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died.  They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so.  They were very kind.   He was a lovely cat, grey and white.  He must have died very quickly.  So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.
    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.
