I am so excited.


Its not often you get to celebrate 60 years of a monarch. Usually dynasties like this are executed or burned at the stake for their rapacious and murderous legacy. Im sure the tens of millions of people across the world who live in abject poverty due to the colonial exploits of our rulers will also be giving thanks as well.


May the offspring of middle european rape and pillage barons and thugs continue to rule over us and produce bountiful idiot offspring to keep the family line intact and in power.


Good luck and enoy your Jubilee East Dulwich.Just remmeber that your Union Flag is dripping in the blood and tears of hundreds of millions of victims.

The exploits of the Empire were indefensible and anyone who tries to defend them deserves to be drowned in a slurry pit.


But does this really have anything to do with people 100 years down the line engaging in the self-validating ritualization of royalty as the symbol of national strength and wealth? Wasn?t this being done long before the empire existed anyway?


It may all be pointless to the objective observer but just because Middle England is donning its glad rags to do a rain dance for their chief doesn?t make them complicit in subjugation and genocide.

I've been pratising the right amount of ironic detachment, "can't deny the kids a sight of history - and it's on their doorstep" position. This seems to be the correct compromise to make. But I can't promise some emotion won't sneak in when I see that great armada go past.


I always wanted a boat.

Much of the current deplorable condition of the world is due to the machinations of such power groups their continued existance. In this sense, it is irrelevant to dismiss the sins of the fathers in this case, though this is trotted out by guardianistas as a simpering hand wringing sop to ease the national collective guilt.


If we celebrate this shower of shites, then we are all implicitly supporting a legacy of genocide, murder & slavery bludz.


Still, you get your day off and all is well. God bless her majesty & her disfunctional turd smeared idiot family and their hangers on.


Your Queen not mine

Personally I'd agree the royal family is an anachronism with no place in a modern democratic society but I'm too lazy to get worked up about it, particularly when HM is so utterly dedicated and dignified compared with the elected sleaze monkeys, greedy ba$tards and self-promoters, but once she's no longer with us I think it's time to abolish it. I don't see how anyone could even think they're particularly 'royal' any more - William has less than half royal blood and his children will have less than a quarter and there must be plenty of other people walking around with at least as much.


On the other hand, the special edition Ma'amite is branding genius and I'm going to buy one today if there are any left.

Yes... and the 'agent' in high heels, lipstick and a shiny black mac 'n hat looks surprisingly masculine...


I think Agent Elliot Nette has gone rogue...



ETA: ...or do I mean rouge?

Yes, I know it's out of control, out of control:


Greasy machinery slides on the rails,


Young minds and bodies on steel spokes impaled.


Cogs tearing bones, cogs tearing bones;


Iron-throated monsters are forcing the screams,


Mind and machinery box-press the dreams.


But there still is time....

Why would your grandfather want to be hanging in the ruins of Buckingham Palace? And even if he was, I doubt he'd see the royal family from there.

      18th Birthday Venue needed

      By eastdulwichavenger · Posted

      Its a few years ago now, but I organised my end of year prom (for year 13) at Off the Cuff in Herne Hill - was on the cheaper side to rent and at that age, felt very cool and clubby. I had my own 18th at Whirled Cinema in Loughborough Junction but I'm not sure if they take event bookings like that anymore

      ‘Welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday 16th September)

      By vladi · Posted

      You are right . It isn't going to change him for the better. Sending such a negative message is potentially counter-productive. Trump is narcissistic, arrogant, unpredictable, spiteful, divisive, and dishonest, with a penchant for a total a disregard for democratic norms.  He is one who bears a grudge so there's a case to be made for not offending him as he could react with a bunch of  adverse actions  such as  deciding to increase import tariffs on UK exports to the US.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By malumbu · Posted

      Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

      Are we now under a flight path?

      By Forest Hill Climber · Posted

      In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
