From a prominent Aristocratic Family and yet still possesses the "Common Touch"in dealing with ordinary,everyday,common or garden people.

She can still relate to what its like to have been "brung" up on a large Council estate,as well.

Wondrous Woman.(6)

Surely it's Harriet Harperson, she enjoyed one of the best private educations money can buy, educated at the independent St Paul's Girls' School and the University of York.

Has not voted on a freedom of information act.

Voted for introducing a smoking ban.

Voted for introducing ID cards.

Voted for introducing foundation hospitals.

Voted for introducing student top-up fees.

Voted for Labour's anti-terrorism laws.

Voted for the Iraq war.

Voted against investigating the Iraq war.

Voted for replacing Trident.


This is all from Wikidlies, but I'm sure it's correct. Talk about the nanny state!! By all accounts a very nice person, well educated, us working class people like that.

I am not quite sure why you're all picking on Lady Harman. Surely her voting record is no different to any other government member? And as far as her education goes York Uni makes her positively plebian compared to the Oxbridge Mafia surrounding her on both sides of the house..


Guilty confession....way back in the days when the local Labour Party was based in a terrace house on Grove Vale I had the opportunity to run Ms Harman over when she was trying to cross the road (no Pelican Crossing there then!). But as she was heavily pregnant at the time (I did say it was a while ago) I thought it would have been bad form to jeopardise my no claims bonus in such a caddish manner....B)

met the woman at her surgery, very nice, bleeding hardworking and has more conviction and backbone than the entire council executive put to together. I asked her if we could use the anti terrorism laws on said members of the council over their robbery of the Nunhead regeneration money and its plundered interest, she thought it was great idea and would look into it. Expect a knock some time soon.

Maybe I missed it or I don't do subtle, or maybe it's just because it's half past midnight, but the statement being made escapes me. Can you explain it for the hard of thinking please?

i was wondering the same too


how are the sales going? do people want this kinda stuff?


(edited for shocking typo)

I could probably flog some to the people I work with MM. They?re a bunch of wonks who speak about politicians in the same way normal people speak about rock stars.


Can?t walk around Westminster without them pointing at and gibbering about every obscure MP they catch sight of.

    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
