Hi everyone, we just launched a website called People's Republic of Southwark, a place to read and talk about a range of environmental issues in the borough.


We are two Camberwell based artists who believe that there are many little and big things we can all do, individually or together, to improve our lives, improve the environment, relearn to breathe and let the planet do the same before it's too late.


People's Republic of Southwark is a place to


* write and/or read about current environmental issues in the borough

* exchange ideas and share your experiences

* find out about resources and funding available in Southwark for environmental initiatives

* learn about what other people are doing, and how you can get involved

* get support for any environmental projects you are involved with



People's Republic of Southwark is about all of us. All you need to do is register and make a difference.


If you have any queries, please contact us at [email protected]

Wouldn't it be far better if we had The Peoples Republic of Dulwich?


I mean, we are such a super perfect and divine oasis of green loveliness here in SE21/22 - nothing at all like our neighbouring Southwark areas of Peckham (OHMYGOD) Forest Hill (yawn) Camberwell (yikes), Herne Hill (snore) or Norwood (inhales sharply...) which is only Lambeth and should not be permitted to be our neighbour at all.


Why don't we campaign to have Dulwich turned into a gated community? We could build an enormous wall (I believe that they once had similar in Berlin and Belfast) sigh. I feel sure it could work. We could pay some small extra tax to for beefy men to patrol the perimeter with big dogs - darling Chavlet avec a law degree is sure to be able to suggest some burley boys(swoon)!


Does anyone fancy a G&T?

Honaloochie, no, we're artists.


The name to the website is a reference to 'People's republic of Judea' or 'Judean people's republic' - there is a great number of good things going on in Southwark, a lot of small or largeish groups of people are trying to do good things (from reducing the use of plastic bags to improving cycling facilities etc), some of them have websites, some of them don't - People's Republic of Southwark is the place where they can all talk about it, share experiences, get help with things if they need it etc.

Perhaps you could have called it 'Romans in Southwark' ('What have the Romans ever done for us?' etc. etc.)

I dream of wolf nipple chips but you can't get the she wolves..........................................I wonder if they do substitutes,(?)

pit-bull nipple chips down the OKR yet.



Did I ever tell you PGC I always read your posts

they're such good value, and very informative.

I think I am falling in love:-$

"Know your own history, you disgraceful mob, Hengist and Horsa were English*."


Actually, PGC, Mockers was on topic with a reference to the snacks for sale at the meeting of the People's Front of Judaea.


Also, DM, I take great and sniffy offence at your disparagement of Peckham. I'll have you know I live in Posh Peckham. And I like to think it's all the posher for having me in it.


*except for those of you who aren't English. Kentish, in fact. Or disgraceful. Or a mob. But you know what I mean. I think. Or do you? Do I?..

    • Malumbu, you're absolutely right. The vet bills due to attacks on neighbouring cats are certainly not insignificant at all. The wounds can even lead to fatalities. I always urge clients, neighbours & community posters to target the root cause, as opposed to skirting around the underlying & often persistent issue. Connecting with local organisations like Celia Hammond Animal Trust, Cats Protection or Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) initiatives is a longterm solution. This is heighlighted, although briefly, under Improving Community Wellbeing. - I'd also like to highlight that if ever unsure whether the culprit is intact, owned or feral, & are hesitant to report, just in case it's a neighbour's neutered cat, you can call upon a Scan Angel or our team at TWB to check for a microchip first. - If the culprit does happen to be a neighbour's neutered cat, there are a variety of solution; both immediate & longterm that I would be more than happy to help with. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]
    • Also wanted to leave my recommendation for Lukasz. He came completely on time, was highly efficient, did everything we asked and more without charging extra and left the place immaculate. A real gem - we will definitely use him again! 
    • Not sure if you added Tomd that have not been neutered terrorising other cats in the area.  Happened round here.  Would have been tempted to castrate the tom if I'd caught it.  Water pistol was not a deterrent.  Vets bills due to various attacks on other moggies was not insignificant 
    • That's good news. I saw that DVillage is also being renovated. Now the pavement in front is wider and flatter with the recent works, they'll have a nice setup indoors and outdoors.
