Seems to be a new game on Lordship Lane today as my OH has just returned from the bus stop having been attacked with considerable amounts of tomato sauce squirted from a moving car. He was too busy trying to work out what they had done to take down any details but has had to have a complete change of clothes before he can venture back out to the bus stop and head into town.

And chucking them at pedestrians and cyclists. I know at least one of the perpetrators was a young person, just out of school, with a job behind the tills at a Camberwell supermarket, access to as much out-of-date stock as they could carry and no ideas what else to do with it. They found out fairly quickly that (a) supermarket uniforms aren't cloaks of invisibility and (b) the cameras on the buses aren't just for show.


Eggs weren't nice, but they were better than the rocks, bottles, fireworks or used nappies I've had chucked at me since. Tomato ketchup sounds a comparative luxury, but I don't suppose that's helpful. The only consolation is that the more it happens, the less you take it personally.


The best obstacles are imaginary. There's one where two groups of kids stand on opposite sides of the road and, as a cyclist approaches, pulls on an imaginary rope. I've only seen it done the once, on Camberwell Grove, where I fell victim with the appropriate lack of grace and a lot of swearing. As a trick, it's brilliantly minimal, but dangerously effective.

at the Crystal Rd end of Lordship Lane, no CCTV, James.


And whilst it's hardly the crime of the century and I love all the saucey comments, forking out for dry cleaning and being late for a meeting wasn't what OH had planned when he went to get the bus.


I agree it was an improvement on eggs thoug, and better than the canned spaghetti (minus cans) that adorned a few cars around here the other night!


Some people obviuosly have enough money to throw food around.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.

      Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.

      “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
