Your small but perfectly formed local Green Party urgently needs extra help in delivering Green Party info to houses in East Dulwich. This is to campaign for Green candidates for the forthcoming London elections on the 3rd May. We are doing an all day leaflet drop on Sat 24th March, and would really appreciate your help. Just turn up at Green and Blue any time after 10am. You only need to volunteer for a couple of hours. Call Tom on 07866 447 075 or see [southwark.greenparty.org.uk]
Please make sure that you observe notices on doors that say No junk Mail as I consider the deluge of political information I get through my door as junk mail and it gets binned so be Really green and save it from going straight into the recycling box where their is a no junk mail notice on the door (and this is a plea to all parties not just the green party)

Genuinely intrigued by this. What damage do you think the others are going to do?

More fool him he is a multi millionaire peddling his worthless drivel - indeed me and a mate paid ?30 each for his mega 7 hour show at the Brixton Academy 3 years agp - 2000 acolytes cheering him and his Powerpoint to the rafters - that 60k box office for a day's work and he takes this all over the world - like I say he earns millions every year. It's interesting seeing a new religion being born - they're all started by madmen and wise fools.

Ken is a complete loose cannon now (and I say that as someone who voted for him in two elections). He's gone from suggesting things that are good for London and is now back to is 70's ideological self. Another term from Ken would be just terrible for London. His fare cut would be extraordinarily damaging to TFL budgets and he'll go pursuing his ?25 congestion charge rate. His housing policy is doo-lally and his pledge to have a London EMA is a complete waste of money.


Jenny Jones, as far as I can see, put the 'mental' in 'environmental'. Whereas Caroline Lucas is new Green - pragmatic but principled - Jones is the green of old: Monster Raving Loony Party stylee policies with an environmental slant. Fortunately she is really quite unelectable - she's polling lower than the UKIP candidate at the moment. Let's face it - if she really cared for the environment she wouldn't be printing off and distributing thousands and thousands and thousands of leaflets in a futile cause. That's pretty much the definition of a waste of the Earth's resources.


Brian Paddick? Actually, he'd be OK, but I have more chance of being elected than he does. And I'm not on the ballot.


If there are any other candidates then, like most people, I am completely unaware of their existence.


And Boris? Like the previous four years he'll do something close to completely nothing. Which is the safe option.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
