Hi


I produce 'Sunday Politics' for the BBC and they have asked me to find people who live at Number 10,'anywheresville' Street to talk to them on camera and put their views and questions to a political panel in the studio.


I need to find voters who live at Number 10 and make a series of films about their concerns.


What you are arguing about over the dining table this election? What?s your message to the politicians? What questions do you need answering before you cast your vote? What are your local concerns?


It could be your family or you could widen it out to get friends/relatives/neighbours over for the debate.


The process would be very informal and would take up 45 mins ish of your time.


So if you live at Number 10 or know someone who does and would like to take part, please do email me -

Many thanks


Jerry

God this sort of vox-pop shit makes me want to claw my own eyes out.


The average resident of No10 anywheresville Street knows precisely bugger all about anything. They aren't economic or healthcare experts so why interview them about it?


The BBC is meant to be holding politicians to account, not just repeating the tired drivel of "get it done" or "we're full". Just because Mrs Miggins thinks we should spend our nuclear deterrent budget on hedgehog sanctuaries you shouldn't give her airtime.


Here's a better idea...go to a hospital and interview a doctor. Go to a school and interview a teacher. Go to a care home and interview the eastern european immigrant paid minimum wage to wipe the arse of the relative you forgot about.


Or go to a university and speak to an economics professor or someone who can explain spending forecasts.


You know, experts. People who might contribute something valuable rather than 15 second soundbites of trite bullshit. My nan used to live at no10 and for years voted for the politician who she thought had the nicest teeth. Make of that what you will.

?...They aren't economic or healthcare experts so why interview them about it?...?


Bit elitist that DC. Why does a person need to be an ?expert? to hold a credible opinion?


There are probably many people who live at number 10 who do not know what the law of diminishing returns means but know the economic reality of shrink-flation and struggling to cope on their wages or the healthcare consequences of being on hospital waiting lists for a year or more.

Because frankly I'm bored of hearing ill-informed opinions from know-nothings on vox-pops.


If Bob doesn't know what he's on about, why the feck do we have to listen to him? Does he understand about trade deals or the four freedoms that the EU is built on? No? Then put someone on TV that does so we can all learn something and educate ourselves.


Bob gets to vote. He doesn't get to be on my TV.

Well I agree with you on the whole. For example, when Jo Swinson comes on telly I mute the sound. I can?t stand listening to her because I think she?s a bit thick.


But beware of so-called ?experts?, especially economic ones. Remember being encouraged to join the euro? Or triple A ratings for Credit Default Swaps and Collateralised debt obligations?

How did you get my address!??


Apart from that I agree with DC 100% (which is proof this is a VERY strange election)

    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
    • DKH was two form entry, it is now one form entry to cope with the fact it was far more under subscribed than other schools in the area. They had actually combined year groups into single classes, 3/4 and 5/6.  When a school changes name, it’s usually because of a bad reputation perhaps the results.  The new name is dry with no history unlike its current name. It’s a very sketchy decision. It’s an expensive vanity project for someone.  What  will happen if the name change does not increase applications to the school?
