Lovely folk of the EDF, after taking part in something similar myself, I have set up a Christmas surprise swap(see attached). Essentially, if you want to take part you will be paired up with a stranger and then send each other a Christmas surprise package - a box containing something personal (maybe a favourite recipe, a book you've read, a mixtape, something homemade), something inspirational (newspaper clipping, a photo or illustration that means something to you), and a little Christmas gift (spending guide for your box is ?10 - put as much free stuff (leaves, stickers, glitter, popcorn etc.) in as you like).


To take part, please PM or email me with your name and address no later than 5pm on Thursday 21st November so that I can pair you up with a mystery swapper. Your surprise box must be posted by Friday 6th December.


This is much more fun than receiving bills.

Hollie, I just have to say a big 'Thankyou' for organising this. My mysterious & beautifully wrapped present is sitting on the side (soon to be under the tree), and I get proper Christmas excitement every time I look at it. I think it's one of the best things about Christmas 2013 so far. When I go to the shops I find myself thinking 'it might be you' as I look at the other shoppers on the lane. It makes me smile just to think of it. It's just lovely community thing to do, and I particularly liked the way you advised we structure the box. Thankyou Hollie - and whoever sent me my box - and Merry Christmas :D

    • 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?
    • 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%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
