Richard Ratcliffe, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband is on hunger strike outside the Iranian Embassy to try to bring pressure and awareness of her ongoing plight. I was passing last Sunday and went over to wish him well. There were only his parents and a couple of friends there. It was so sad, They are facing this alone. I felt heartbroken for them. I sat and talked to Richard's mother, Barbara. for a while and I was so impressed by her courage. She was an ordinary elderly 'down to earth' lady prepared to sit there by her son's side. I have been trying ever since to reach out to anyone I know to raise public support and think of imaginative ways to show support. I know that it is not strictly a ED issue but we are an area filled with families with children of the same age as Nazanin and Richard's daughter and who must identify with their plight. I thought I would tie some flowers to my front door tomorrow. Please join in and if you are social media types, please post and share with your own messages...

    • I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.
    • I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
    • Good news - parliamentary debate scheduled for 19 January! Dear  Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only”. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559 The debate is scheduled for 19 January 2026. Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript. Thanks, The Petitions Team House of Commons
    • Hey all, A month ago 2 black youths in ski masks/balaclavas on an electric bike tried to rob me where the old Poundland was on Lordship Lane. Last night, what seemed like the same two people tried to rob a Deliveroo driver by The Great Exhibition pub while I walked past. The driver swerved and nearly crashed, and they made off. Not sure what can actually be done about this, and if any residents have spoken to police. I can only implore people not to walk around with noise-cancelling headphones on..because sadly, you will get robbed.
