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!

      Checking refs of these builders

      By camberwell57 · Posted

      Hi - I posted a request for some help with a stuck door and possible leaky roof. I had responses from Lukasz at Look_as.com and Pawel at Sublime Builders. I don't see any/many reviews - has anyone used either person?  Could use a recommendation rather then just being contact by the tradespeople... Many Thanks

      Will Mandelson be accepted across the pond.

      By malumbu · Posted

      I'm a bit worried by your sudden involvement on this Forum.  The former Prince Andrew is now Andrew Mountbatten Windsor Mountbatten in an anglicisation of Von Battenburg adopted by that branch of our Royal Family in 1917 due to anti-German sentiment. Another anglicisation could be simply Battenburg as in the checker board cake.  So I surmise that your are Andrew Battenburg, aka Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and that you have infiltrated social media so that the country can put the emphasis on Mandelson ather than yourself.  Bit of a failure. I don't expect an answer from police custody.

      John Marx (Top Marx Kitchens): highly recommended kitchen fitter

      By enya · Posted

      We had John fit our PLYKEA kitchen (IKEA cabinets with custom doors) and would happily recommend him and Gabi to anyone. Gabi handled all communication and was brilliant throughout — responsive and happy to answer questions however detailed. John is meticulous, cares about the small details, and was a pleasure to have in the house. The carpentry required for the custom doors was done to a high standard, and he even refinished the plumbing under the sink to sit better with the new cabinets — a small touch that made a real difference. They were happy to return and tie up a few things that couldn't be finished in the time, which we appreciated. No hesitations recommending them.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Suggsy · Posted

      Not sure about that. Rockets seems to have (rightly in my view) identified two key motivating elements in Mcash's defection: anger at his previous (arguably shabby) treatment and a (linked) desire to trash the Labour party, nationally and locally. The defection, timed for maximum damage, combined with the invective and moral exhibitionism of his statement counts as rather more than a "hissy fit".  I would add a third motivation of political ambition: it's not inconceivable that he has his eye on the Dulwich & West Norwood seat which is predicted to go Green.  James Barber was indulging in typical LibDem sleight of hand, claiming that Blair introduced austerity to *councils* before the coalition. This is a kind of sixth form debating point. From 1997-1999 Labour broadly stuck to Tory spending totals, meaning there was limited growth in departmental spending, including local govt grants. However local government funding rose substantially in the Noughties, especially in education and social care. It is a matter of record that real-terms local authority spending increased in the Blair / Brown years overall. So he's manifestly wrong (or only right if the focus is on 1997-1999, which would be a bizarre focus and one he didn't include in his claim) but he wasn't claiming Blair introduced austerity more widely.
