Did you vote in the Local Elections?

[oimissus]

Feel free to tell the Somali ladies changing into their burkinis in the communal changing rooms at Camberwell Leisure Centre for the women-only swim session that they need to accept male-bodied people into that space. That's what Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens want.

Feel free to tell young girls that they need to accept male-bodied children into their toilets and changing rooms. That's what Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens want.

Feel free to tell women escaping male violence using local refuges that they need to accept male-bodied people into that space. That's what Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens want.

Feel free to tell women in hospital that they need to accept male-bodied people into single-sex wards. That's what Labour, the Lib Dems and the Greens want.

Your attempts to shut women up by shouting 'transphobia' are wearing thin. Misogyny is no longer a vote-winner either. (I'm using male-bodied because some fragile, usually male, EDFers don't like plain English. Of course, male-bodied people are always in point of fact men.)

All of these are local council issues.

I wouldn't give Bic's degeneracy that much energy.

I have, what the latest date I can post back?

[Del in ED]

It?s written on the postal ballot pack.

[goldilocks]

If you haven't posted back in time you can also hand in your postal vote at a polling station

Me too, doesn?t bode well for their local knowledge!

[Pugwash]

There is a hustings on 29th April 7 - 9 pm at the East Dulwich Community Centre Darrell Road. Candidates for Goose Green and Dulwich Hill will be attending.

[goldilocks]

I always get a postal vote. I have on occasions returned it to a polling station.

I have had general bumph, a more detailed leaflet naming the candidates and a visit from Labour. I have received general bumph from the Lib Dems but nothing telling me who their candidates are and no visit. If any other party is fielding candidates, I don?t know about them.

[march46]

Suspect they are standing for Lib Dems as paper candidates as they?re not actively campaigning here. Can?t imagine that being helpful for the area if they were to get elected.

[goldilocks]

Following up on my previous comment re 'paper candidates' - has anyone actually been canvassed by Lib Dem candidates in Goose Green ward?

Suspect that the majority of those thinking of voting for them either do so at a national level or are doing so on the basis of the work James Barber put in (who was an excellent local councillor and someone I voted for based on his personal effectiveness in the past).

This time I haven't had anything from the Lib Dems locally and it doesn't feel like they're putting up credible candidates in Goose Green who actually want to be councillors.

[CPR Dave]

Not sure why you would think that when they are longstanding local residents.

[goldilocks]

Interesting. Have they been out canvassing you then CPR Dave?

I've had zero flyers from them - not a single campaigning knock at the door, nothing. This is a massive change from previous local elections. It doesn't feel like they actively want to be councillors here, more that they just needed some names on the ballot.

[CPR Dave]

Yes I have had a leaflet from the Lib Dems as it goes. It arrived when I was out so I don't know if they were also canvassing.

[CPR Dave]

And they are clearly passionate about their local area - you can see that from their website.

I'm not sure any of the parties are fielding candidates parachuted in from far afield... the three Lib Dem candidates for Goose Green all seem decent enough folk, but in terms of them living locally, ie within the ward:

Clare Donachie: "Clare has around Goose Green for the last 23 years and in south London since coming here as a student in the early 90s."

Ignoring the proof-read fail - not really sure what around Goose Green means... somewhere near here maybe?

Michael Green: "Live near Goose Green" - Not in the area as such, but somewhere close by

Sophie Roach: Bio says she works somewhere locally - which in this case means Borough. No mention of where she lives

But in fairness to you Dave, these are some of the Lib Dems' stronger candidates - certainly in the south of the borough

[goldilocks]

The thing is, people who are passionate about being elected do tend to do at least a little big of door knocking /leafleting We've had absolutely nothing other than labour leaflets this time which is a huge change from previous elections. James Barber used to be out talking to people door to door, these three haven't even managed to post a pic of their faces through my door.

[trinidad]

Like you, the same. I have had only one leaflet through my door from Labour, but not sure if that is count as it was from councilors from the goose green ward, and i am in the rye lane ward. i guess they dont care :(

[trinidad]

Thank you CPR Dave, most helpful

[johnhinton]

I've had LibDem leaflets and a visit from Raghav Parkash, who was very persuasive and frank, quite unlike the current DV councillors that I hope never to see again (I've supported Labour for nearly 50 years, as a matter of principle, and even at the last council election). I was even favourably disposed towards Clive Rates - and I never thought about the Tories as an option (not even locally, never mind nationally).

My vote will go to whoever can displace the two apparatchiks.

[ab29]

I'm in Dulwich Wood and will be votng Tories - first tme ever. I hate LTN, it has made my area so much worst.

[CPR Dave]

Goldilocks is obviously quite scared that the Lib Dems are going to trounce Labour in Goose Green.

I sincerely hope that they do.
