Vote Green.


I had a nice chat with the Lib Dem candidate for Camberwell & Peckham earlier and she seemed a genuinely nice well rounded person. I?m no fan of the party, but seeing as she suggested the Greens would be a good alternative to the main parties, I?ll give them a go this time.

Well along with many others I can't either - peopjecdeserve so much better. Your previous comments suggest you support the opposite surely.

What?s naive about voting for the Green Party? We do have a climate emergency after all, and the more potential Green voices we get in Parliament the better. They also want us to remain in the EU.

Yeah so multimillionaires getting VAT relief on private jet travel, factories from first/third world nations being pumped into the atmosphere for the last few hundred years, gas guzzling SUV?s being unnecessarily driven around ED by yummy mummies, people flying all around the world not even giving their carbon footprint a second thought, and you pick on me for occasionally driving into zone 5 to get a bit of shopping. Talking out your arse again ed_pete.


I wonder what your carbon footprint looks like? When did you last jump a flight somewhere?

Laurence Fox has been annoying Dulwich residents (can see the whole thing on iphone but paywall on times) - he's been wearing a MAGA hat apparently.


"in bourgeois Dulwich there were horrified reactions. ?One guy slammed a door on me and said, ?You shouldn?t do that, that?s disgusting?. Another woman came up to me and said, ?You?re crazy!? "

I have noticed a lack of 'Vote For' posters in windows of East Dulwich Residents..


Just 1 'Vote For Labour' poster on my road. I wonder why ??


As a Lifetime Labour voter and previous member of The Labour Party East Dulwich

I certainly will not be voting Labour in the Forthcoming General Election.


Apologies to Labour Candidate Helen Hayes Who I am sure could do a great job.

I simply cannot risk Jeremy Corbyn ever becoming Prime Minister of this country.


Corbyn has made Our Labour Party unelectable

Helen Hayes is a decent MP. But like you foxy I can?t bring myself to vote for her, and potentially enable Corbyn to enter 10 Downing Street. So apologies to her and her team, but voting for them isn?t an option for me this time around.

Some of us feel exactly that about Corbyn as well as Johnson. Green for me on 'anyone but Corbyn" principles.

What- other than Brexit- is Boris representing- and therefore upholding the democracy? I have quite honestly never found a politician in the UK frightening- until Corbyn.

Thing is - you are going to get either Johnson or Corbyn. One of those things is going to happen


in Dulwich it's easy to vote against either of those two because Labour will win comfortably anyway so it really doesn't matter who you vote for - it's basically free


Byt given it's going to be one of those two forming a government it's probably wise to limit their power by having as close to a hung parliament as we have now (yes, the whole thing is pointless - unless you consider the benefit of the loser buggering off and so freeing up an important role come next election)


If you live somewhere that is a marginal seat it's important to vote against this government for the party most likely to beat them in that constituency. So yes - if I lived in a Lab/CON marginal I would vote Corbyn even tho I can't stand the man or what he has done to the party. There are enough decent labour MPs with enough decent policy to make that preferable to a 5 year Johnson govt (plus Corbyn is 71 - he won't be around long)


Yes it's a lesser of two evils - but pretending it isn't won't help anyone

But it's not going to happen like you say.

No party will have a majority and my current prediction is 1.tory, 2 brexit party, 3. lib dems, 4. labour.


this election is all about tactical voting, so if you live in a constituency and you want shot of your MP, vote for the party most likely to have more votes than the current MP gets. For example, if your MP switched parties without having a by - election and you want them out, then you know what you need to do.

      Latest One Dulwich update

      By vladi · Posted

      @Earl, Be assured, it is purely a local group. In fact it is a genteel group of Dulwich area residents, mostly ladies , who are a little  reluctant to publish their individual names as they do not wish to be targets for hostility from internet trolls. Local residents who attended the anti-LTN gatherings in Dulwich would have easily recognised the active members of the group. Should you have any queries about funding, it is quite easy to send them an email.

      Hi  I have a spare old wheelbarrow that you could have for free. You’d need to come and collect it from Telegraph Hill, so drop me a message if you’re still looking and we can arrange a time best wishes carrie

      This is quite a serious allegation. What evidence is there of this? Pressured how and by whom? This is quite a spin on ‘it’s been agreed with the emergency services’. They think the vehicles pictured driving through with partially covered plates are the result of ‘poor signage’ 🤔  If it is as they say ‘small numbers’ driving through the square, that doesn’t suggest that the signage is unclear. I mean who honestly believes it’s possible to drive through there without noticing the signs / planters (assuming you’re driving with due care and attention)?! 🤨  Also, haven’t ‘One’ opposed any improvements to the layout / landscaping and signage proposed by Southwark? It’s all a bit desperate. At the height of the LTN ‘controversy’ a number of co-ordinated ‘One’ groups popped up across London. It doesn’t feel like a local grassroots movement, but has all the hallmarks of astroturfing. The lack of transparency about it’s funding / sponsorship and structure does not help with this impression.

      Hi there, My children and I are adopting 4 ex-battery hens and seeking a secondhand home for them, let me know if you have anything, of any style that might fit four feathered ladies in. I can collect at your convenience this weekend or during the week.    Warmest, Hannah
