We keep getting reports from someone apparently from Kingsdale saying posts are libellous. We have collected the details of the posters and will forward on to the authorities when requested so that they can speak to the individuals concerned.

I suggest that if you have embellished anything in your posts that could be lies that you quickly go and amend them before teacher comes back with the police.

> and what do you mean "apparently from Kingsdale " ?

They say they're from Kingsdale and I have reason to believe they are.


>Does that mean you don't know who has contacted you suggesting the posts are libellous ?

No, I have a name.


> Do you think they were libellous ?

I don't know if they were.

I'm not havin' a larf and I'm not trying to intimidate. If people haven't posted untruth's in their posts then everything's fine and this person is reacting disproportionately.

I'm sorry but your post came across as very heavy handed .


You would know but I can't remember anything other than references to the sudden drop in GCSE results .

There may have been opinions expressed as to the cause - so I can see that might be libellous .


I don't recall any posts stating that x or y happened ,so I can't see that any lies ( as you call it ) were told .


"embellishment " is tricky isn't it ? I imagine there will be a lot of gaps in the EDF if exaggeration becomes a reason for removing posts because they might be libellous .


It must put Admin in a difficult position - presumably requests for "embellished " posts will have to be removed if you're asked to do so on the grounds that they are libellous .

Anyone posting from and on behalf of an organisation will presumably use its official email address. Did they? Kingsdale's email addresses are of form @kingsdale.southwark.sch.uk .

It seems that the missing thread is now back up - is that right Admin? Is it so that we can redact our comments? Would be helpful if you could say which bit the school complained about.


And what authorities will you be passing our details on to?

Well I was thinking that if it were still a state school, Gove would probably have handed it to Harris at the first sign of trouble!

I was just pondering the situation now where schoOls who have even a 'too slow pace of improvement' let alone a dip in results (see Roke primary) get deemed failing by ofsted and the only solution On offer is sell Off to an academy chain.


I don't think anyone can think these days that ofsted (or the exam boards even) are any more than a political tool

Fuschia, you know schools aren't sold. Roke was put on Special Measures for a host of reasons (not too slow improvement) and the gov't announced last year that all schools and special measures should immediately be converted to academies. I think this is a bad policy change but arguing the Ofsted is just a political tool seems farfetched!

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !

      That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
