Hey Marmora


louisiana has got it bang on - you are not behaving unreasonably; but your quite natural assumption that you were in a public space and are therefore free to do as you legally please is mistaken. my gaff, my rules, says "more london". the transfer of substantial public spaces to private hands is no less serious than the enclosures act was in 16 century.

I've just had a personal call from the manager of More London - apologising for the behaviour of his security staff.


There are no rules about sitting on the riverside wall, staff are told to advise people about safety if they are acting unreasonably (drunk on the wall, walking along it, fighting on it, playing on it) which seems fairly sensible.


Sitting on the wall in the sunshine with legs "landside" is perfectly OK.


Of course this message needs to get thru' to junior security staff in polyester outfits but it was nice to receive a personal apology.



Sorry we now have no reason for a sit on demo! We'll have to find another cause.

Hoorah, justice is done.

The badly uniformed one presumably has been put on a fizzer and MM, vindicated rides off into the sunset (wearing safety headgear, knee and elbow pads) mdestly shrugging off thanks and departing with a tight-lipped "There's things a man can't ride round"

Leaving us all to wonder "Who was that Marmora Man?"

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
