Further to all your comments about me and Reggie being under dub house arrest, I had a mild vision of all of you lining the pavements of lordship lane, called to the afternoon prayer of dub, not concerned with the state of your teeth (although I do recommend the dentist near the dry cleaners, the man's an artist,) or with the latest shoes in Pied whatshername shop or wondering whether its right to buy a copy of Big Issue from the rosy faced east european woman outside the CoOp,

and instead is brought together by being together above our needs for things, above even our needs for our own families, taking joy as a real community, our community, east dulwich where we are all for one and one for all. Shalom.

I'm forced to listen and pay to all the Olympics shite and distruption that is coming our way -Sly and Reggie on the other hand are unsubsidised , local characters and I have yet to come across one of their al -fresco performances. When I do I will smile , wiggle in a self conscious way and take delight in the diversity of the area. At the moment I am forced to listen to a shite singing bird that's looking for a shag from 4-30 every morning. Where are the local cats when you need them.

There are many undoubtedly generous souls such as yourself ibilly, who uphold your conviction that community spirit is about indulging the pecadillos of local characters.


There are others who believe that community spirit would best be demonstrated by having the generosity not to shove your shite taste in music down other people's throats and then whinging like teenager when you can't ambush somebody else's local community event to do so.


I can see and understand both points of view - but only one of them involves not forcing yourself on other people.


I presume your own perspective stems from the conviction that you want to stick it to people you dont like? ;-)

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
