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.

    • 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
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
