Irish festival! It?s always been dreadful, all the worst things from Ireland. Why can?t we have a Scottish festival? This is blatant racism disguised as pseudo culture. What have the Irish given us? Potatoes, Guinness and terror, Catholicism, Paisley. Look at Scotland by comparison; TV, golf, haggis, great music from the likes of Shooglenifty & Pipe dreams, the Panama canal, the telephone & Celticism and last but not least caber tossing. Scotland the brave any day.
If 52k is right, that's a staggering waste of cash for a rather ropey festival. If the 'offer' is good enough, you work hard for sponsorship, charge stallholders and get good volunteers on board, you can do a pretty good festival with a modest subsidy or with no subsidy at all. I bet the Peckham Rye Garden f?te the Friends run in September gets by on very little.

How did Bell steal the telephone from the Italians?? Bell was in a race with Edison and hadn?t anything other than an idea for the telephone and he got to the patent office first.


The only good thing I remember about the Irish festival is how much it peed off Peter & Frances when they ran the Clockhouse. He admitted to me that he hated the Irish but they spent a lot of money that weekend so he was stuck between a rock & a hard place.

Well said....And I'm Irish (and couldn't stand Frances)

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
