Let's clarify things once and for all. The hall boundary is to have designer Dulwich Picturehouse railings, the kerbside pedestrian barriers originally placed to stop the children and later hall users from walking or running straight into the road (situated in front of the old school doors) and are to remain according to the artistic impression. The original post jokingly expected people to come out from a darkened cinema straight into the road, not funny in my opinion, this won't happen with the kerbside barriers still there.

I think it's time we got back on track with positivity and excitement about the possibility of East Dulwich getting it's first major cultural hub!


In a recent edition of the Picturehouse Cinemas quarterly magazine, founder Lyn Goleby talks about future developments. I quote her here:


"We're launching a cinema-on-demand platform called ourscreen through a handful of our cinemas and we think that's a really exciting next stage. Audiences will be able to programme films and events in their local cinemas. We think it's an amazing idea."


Exciting times!

You'd be surprised actually, there are lots of audio described film showings. However, if a blind person has any kind of mobility skills, they would not be at risk of walking in to that road.




Oh, and "East Dulwich Picture House" sounds shit. Dulwich Picture House is much better

Actually the whole thread has been very positive as should be expected, just a couple of people making something out of nothing.

I think he's taking the p*ss (no pun intended) as he's a little unhappy about James Barber's success in organising this. He takes every opportunity to have an unwarranted pop at the man.

Not everybody agrees with JB's politics (I certainly don't) but he's a brave man sticking his neck out here very day and he is definately well intended.


I suspect unlurked hides behind his keyboard and moans on here, doing absolutely nothing about it...

Likewise, I agree. I find it pretty distasteful, the number of personal comments about James Barber. Personally, I don't support the lib dems at all. But the effort that James goes to for the good of our community is extremely commendable. I hope that the guys who seem to be continually sniping do the same level of work for the general good.


It's not a case of James being elected and therefore putting himself up for criticism; some of the comments on this forum are beyond the pale.

    • 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
