A great organisation doing fantastic work supporting Southwark locals are throwing a fundraising party next Friday. Please support and spread the word! It should be fun :)


"In celebration of five years of grassroot community activism, working with BAME traders and residents in Elephant and Castle, we are joining forces with Movimientos to bring you a full night of music, dancing, painting, eating and drinking and fundraising for a charitable cause!


As you know, the Latin American and other communities in Elephant and Castle community are going through challenging times, with the so-called 'redevelopment' of the Shopping Centre displacing traders and residents as a result of a highly controversial scheme.


As a recognised stakeholder advocating for the rights of BAME traders, Latin Elephant has a crucial role scrutinising the process, visibilising the wrong-doings as well as enforcing transparency so that traders get a fair treatment by developers and the Council.


The money raised at this party will allow us to continue working for the rights of BAME communities, as well as carry on with several activities including: workshops, reports, and many other community engagement activities."

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By Angelina · Posted

      we actually need growth. It may be counter intuitive, but we need investment.   my example is about poor financial management, be it personal or central. I'm referring to poor government financial management.

      This is to conflate household budgets with government budgets. They are very different things  a large part of the anger felt across the country is the decline in public services after a decade and a half of austerity.  You cut more you get more ugly anger  Of course people need to be persuaded to pay more - but that is only realistic path. You cut more you will find out the hard way

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By Earl Aelfheah · Posted

      I think one could argue that degrading public services / infrastructure is what's led to our current, slow economic decline. We've spent 14 years trying austerity, and it's proven counter productive to growth and productivity. A successful economy and society needs good transport, education and early intervention health care. On taxes, it depends how you target them. Tax funded spending may be a positive fiscal multiplier. Taxes on work aren't great, or when they hit the poorest (who tend to spend most of what they earn, boosting economic activity). We need a well designed wealth tax (on idle assets), and stronger measures to target avoidance.
