RIP SLP

[Insuflo]

It seems that The South London Press has gone to the great recycling bin in the sky:

I’ve not seen the printed paper in years, admittedly.

I've featured in it three times, nothing to do with issues on this site.  But.....  I don't think I've ever bought it nor do I know anyone who bought it.  We had a weekly local rag at home when I was growing up that many bought.  Put under years ago by the advertising freebie, not sure if that is still going

Ahh, that's too bad. The SLP was always on sale in Sainsbury's and always available in libraries. They did some really detailed local crime reporting and local government reporting that other outlets wouldn't focus on.

That is sad. I much prefer to read papers as such and not digitally. 

Years ago the SLP used to have a double page spread titled"Your neighbour in court"

Their finest moment...

That was very community spirited of them 🤣🤣🤣

Shame. I wondered why they were asking for donations to help with running costs in last weeks issue. Been buying it for many years but only recently was thinking of giving it a miss as over the past couple of years it had become too politicised. Their South London Opinion page was particularly biased.

I remember the Tuesday property supplement that must’ve earned them a few bob - all disappeared when right move et cetera put it all online. 
I think Southwark news took the stories ( and the readers) that SLP didn’t touch

Asking people to post cheques to them does make them sound like something from the previous century tbh.
