I decided to take a break from casework to walk up Lordship Lane in the sunshine and buy bread and ice cream only to see these posters announcing 'theyarecoming' fly posted everywhere... this one I've attached is in front of William Rose's.


Does anybody know what this is about? Is this a May Day joke? Are aliens finally going to land in East Dulwich??


I hope whoever comes brings scissors with them, as one of my pet peeves is posters strangling our beloved trees with string!

>Down in the south of the borough, something is stirring... bits and pieces, odds and ends, flotsam and jetsam, the offshoots and outcasts are coming together, a ragtag rabble, a motley collection of misfits, a gathering!

From the margins and fringes they come, with one purpose, one destination, they represent a myriad of tribes, a cornucopia of clans, a stream of weathered rainbow threads woven together.

A flowing, ebbing, pulsating river of life, of stories, myths and legends; follow their paths as they stalk through Southwark, tracing the routes of their ancestors.

What are they? They are a mirror Southwark, a mirror...

Who are they? They are you Southwark, they are you...

They are coming!<


Sounds like that "Non bonfire night" thing of wishy washyness


ANYONE who says "cornucopia of clans" needs a frikkin front wedgie


I ask you !

I so yearn for the good old days of clowns, gang warfare, dogs from pubs shitting on the street and needle exchange furore.Now allw e have to look forward to is a blitzkreig arrival of unemployed Goldsmtihs drama and performance art graduates keeping it real for tuh boden kidz kru and their yummy mummies

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa

Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to

leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...

You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see

I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa

To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be

happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!


You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said

that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???

I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and

laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..



They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.

To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket

weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!


I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back

for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??

Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you

in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...


They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.

To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy

to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming

to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

To the happy home, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket

weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!

To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time... (fade out)


Hey, buddy!

Yes officer..

You a head?

No, but I'm catching up, ha ha ha....

Not this again. It has been repeatedly proven that paying good money into the Arts, even the futile and derivative nonsense in question, is cheaper than any other relevant form of provision. Even in a democracy we have a collective responsibility to those less advantaged that ourselves, whether we like it or not.


There are, of course, limits. Having added my tuppence-worth of enlightenment, I'll leave it to someone else to enlighten the good Councillor on the doubtful merits of string as a means of arboricide.

Are they not Platanus Acerifolia ?


Many trees have been cut back hard due to the wet season previous.


They'll recover.

They're not Plane trees ,they're limes .


I expect they will recover but I'm upset that they were pollarded so severely ( so that people can no longer even tell what kind of tree they are ) and in AUGUST while they were in full leaf .


So we've had no autumn colours or leaves and no sign yet of any leaves .

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
