Through my door this morning is the Lib Dem 'Focus' newsletter which includes the words "Your local Lib Dem councillors" has been delivered to my door with news from East Dulwich ward.


To my knowledge, College Ward has one Tory and two Labour councillors, so why are the Lib Dems sending out their publications to people who didn't vote for them in 2010?

They are hoping there is a sun reader or two in the ward that they can persuade to vote for them next time...


I got one today in the East Dulwich area despite having a "no junk mail" notice up, which makes me think the lib dem leaflet delivery person must have the reading age of a Sun reader not to have understood the instructions... Thankfully it is recycling day today ;-)

Political boasting is (junk), as is political advertising from parties I don't support, UKIP or the BNP for example. Apart from the contact details of councillors who don't represent me there was precious little 'information' in the leaflet.

Are you joking? The Greens producing and distribute leaflets. I always considered it rather ironic, really.

I think that's a bit unfair.


I was interested to see that apparently ED residents (who? I don't recall being asked) want the Dulwich Hospital site to become either a primary school or housing for oldies, and that the Lib Dems want the old police building opposite the Actress to become the ED police station so that the police don't have to return to Camberwell for their breaks :)

So 'information' - results of a possible survey (how many? how chosen? when? not disclosed) or perhaps just received opinions and a statement about liberal policy on policing - a bit of information, then (about liberal policy) - but nothing about the police response, if any, costs, how it would work etc. etc.


I don't mind the liberals wanting to tell me things - but I'm not an elector for the ward which is telling me, so a bit of a waste of effort, really.

If I recall correctly there have been several community council meetings which have asked about the proposed use of Dulwich Hospital. Also NHS Southwark/PCT have also had public meetings re health care in Southwark and people have put in various proposals re school/police/care home etc.


Despite being in a LD ward - we get leaflets from labour and Tory councillors informing us what is going on in Southwark.Perhaps someone wanted to wind you up a little by posting the LD leaflet!!

have I missed something here? is southwark owned by a particular group or party? do parts of southwark vote exclusively? is my voting checked by someone and when I don't vote as my neighbours vote will I be strong armed by the majority? To paraphrase someone above did no one in college vote LD and might no one who voted other might they not in the privacy of the voting booth try another party in the future for infinitely many reasons?


do not, do not assume party affiliation for me. I have voted each and every of the not extreme right wing nasties


and I have lived in completely normal countries with rigged party votes and corrupt party systems and disenfranchised voters


and I live in southwark and I have been attacked physically ( !!!! ) by party affiliated fat white male bouncers because they decided I dissed one of theirs


It is beyond me the political tone and name calling taken by people on this forum who think they own political truth


from pugwash above:

My issue with the Lib Dem propaganda is that they didn't get enough votes to represent me in College Ward. It's the work of the two Labour Cllrs and the Tory which are of interest and have no issue when their respective parties send their newsletters through the door.


A newsletter from ED ward has no relevance to me or how I'll vote in the next council election.

Hi Artfuldogger,

No junk mail is tricky becuaqse some are happy ot get political stuff and others not.

If you email me your address I'll make a note to ensure you at least don't get any letters from us.


Hi the-e-dealer,

Which local election promise have I broken?


Hi Mattydj,

Sorry about the 7.30am but when should we deliver leaflets when we have day jobs and families?


Hi Bic Basher,

It doesnt work quite like that. You elect ward councillors. Buut the majority of policies are decided by the majority of all ward councillors. So I'm delighted that local Labour and Tory politicians are now supporting our campaign to have an ED Police station.


Hi Sue,

Dulwich Hospital site we hand delivered survey to all East Dulwich ward homes. For knocked on doors for most homes to try and explain the survey to encourage responses. our policies are based and informed on those responses.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      Post much better this Xmas.  Sue posted about whether they send Xmas cards; how good the post is,  is relevant.  Think I will continue to stay off Instagram!

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Spartacus · Posted

      These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By malumbu · Posted

      Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.

      Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
