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.

    • I was lucky that I received a student grant from 1990-1995 first 3 years for degree and 2 years post graduate bursary. Both were based on my income and I did not have to pay back. Eldest daughter got student loan and after 20 years managed to pay it off, Youngest daughter still paying hers 18 years later. Granddaughter - still paying after 6 years. Grandson decided against FE and secured an apprentenship. I am glad that I am an old codger and not young anymore !

    • It is not only Southwark - our grandson, partner and 7 year old had a one bed council flat for years in Harlow Essex and all the properties offered were in poor condition. They eventually took a property as if they refused another one they would drop to the bottom of the Housing List. It was damp and in need of a level of renovation. Having lived in these conditions for a while they were offered better council accommodation recently, but further away from child's school. They had to pay 2 lots of rent for a few weeks as council had to undertake work in the new premises before they could move in,
    • Just had an interior decorating job done by Andy. The final outcome looks lovely and he did some remedial work at the same time to fill in gaps in the ceiling (due to previous electrical work) and to remediate any similar areas to ensure a polished overall look. Would highly recommend him for any similar job, he quoted a very reasonable price for the job as well. Thanks Andy!
