Just after 11 this morning a teenage lad (about 15 or 16) knocked on my door saying he had lost his cat and asked me if I'd seen it at all. Being a cat lover I felt sorry for him and said I'd keep an eye out. He told me the cat was called Milo and showed me a picture. I took a photo of his flyer and have attached it here. I asked him if he'd reported it missing here on the EDF and whether it was microchipped. He said yes to both.

30 seconds after he'd left I had a 2nd glance at the picture which reports a missing cat called Daisy and then realised something felt wrong. I went outside in to my road and found him lurking behind a van with 2 friends. I approached him and asked him the name of the cat, he replied Milo. I then asked why the photo mentions a cat called Daisy. They looked very sheepish and he said he got his friend to make the flyer and he'd messed it up. I called them out as bulls***ers and said if I saw them near my property again I'd contact the police. I videoed this exchange and have the faces of all 3 lads. I will not be posting it on here for obvious reasons.

Needless to say there is no missing cat on here called Daisy or Milo and the number to contact on the flyer is not recognised. My guess is they are scoping houses to see if people are in or away on holiday. I also have a motorbike in my front garden which could be a factor.

Is this worth contacting the police about?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
