Via Appia...............anyone got a hammer ?

[AllforNun]

So the Executive diverted more money from TFL's pot to upgrade the crossing from Peckham Rye park ED side near Barry Road. 2 years ago it was completely overhauled , re-painted, new lights and the whole stretch of road re tarmaced and painted. Now it gets raised re-leveled so people with disabilities and visual impairments can cross more safely. The fact that on the other side of the park they have not even spent a penny in last 10 years to upgrade the road (which actually as it has a steeper incline means cars are traveling faster) must mean that this side of the Rye there are less impaired and vulnerable people.

Or.........that you are a self serving bunch of stunts who through your own actions are soon to bring too Democracy what over leveraging has just brought to the economies of this world.

[????]

not nearly as much traffic on that side.........could be that

[HOMum]

slow down

[AllforNun]

yer right you have counted the cars and buses have you........certainly enough traffic to kill ...ooh and there is a girls school on that road, but most of the kids are ethnic and not from ED so fuck em right ?

check the speed of the cars on that road, 20mins effort would be enough then get back to the thread.

[Josh]

the need is greater on the SE22 side of the park. Most people in Nunhead can't afford to run a car, let alone buy one, so the traffic is consequently much quieter in SE15 than SE22.

[AllforNun]

yes you are absolutely right josh, next time you pass by in your mums car honk your horn and we can all wave at you.

[*Bob*]

Where's this Nunhead place again?

[????]

I started to go over there to count but halfway accross the Rye I started to feel twitchy and was sure I saw gangs of n'er do wells lurking behind every tree so i sprinted back towards SE22 and didn't really feel safe until I was on the west side of the cafe, I am trying to get an escort together for next time

[????]

BTW - it's a bit extreme to imply that suggesting that traffic volume may be the answer is somehow racist...maybe you think a bit before making that sort of inference.....

[djfitz]

I thought Peckham Rye Park only had one side to it. Well I never!

[Huguenot]

AFN - you did suggest that traffic management was racist didn't you? Did you?

Was that for real? Is this a TV show?

[AllforNun]

Morning Fruits ..

No what i suggested was the following.........and what happens now is that you can make your own choice......

A. The Executive only pander to people within their own catchment area in terms of how money can be spent to ensure votes.

B. That a School such as Waverley road Girls Academy has a school populous who the executive are uninterested in due to Ethnicity

C. That a School such as Waverley Road Girls Academy has a school populous who the executive are uninterested in due to the fact that they are not in a Liberal controlled catchment area

D. That a School such as Waverley road Girls Academy has a school populous that are so street wise and road conscious that they need far less, traffic management spent on them in relation to other schools in and around East Dulwich.

E. That the fact that cars travel far faster down the hill on the other side of the Rye means the pupils of Waverley Road school can run faster and will have more chance of completing at the olympics.

F . The fact that one road has no school yet 2 Speed Camera's, 2 'mind your Speed' signs , new traffic lights, new zebra crossings and a freshly tarmaced road, (in comparision with nothing on the other road except for worn road markings and broken Zebra Crossings) was down to bad map reading by the the contractors.

G. That the bunches of wilting flowers tied to the lampposts on this side of the Rye have some significance beyond that of decoration to the Environment.

H. That such cynical use of money to prop up your own personal political standing is the reason why Stanton and his Ilk will never see the inside of No10 in a month of Nunhead Sundays.

now by all means pick one.

[Huguenot]

"That a School such as Waverley road Girls Academy has a school populous who the executive are uninterested in due to Ethnicity"

That's an outrageous accusation, certainly libellous and without doubt divisive and offensive.

AFN, you've excelled yourself. You should be embarassed. Can I recommend that you self edit and stay out of court?

[AllforNun]

Yes well how very boring and predictable, considering ethnicity and poverty go hand in hand you can climb down of your offended platform of middle class falsity and .....and go protest about the war in Iraq while waving an organic loaf of sesame peanut rye and chopping up a nice fat line of charlie and paracetamol.

Anyway as i said if you actually read, contemplated and understood, they are all possibilites and it is up to you which rings true, true or not true at all....

Personally even the best of the 8 points is a down right abuse of power.

[AllforNun]

Oh and by all means lets go to court I would have a wonderful wonderful time.

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

I reckon it's C - and I think AFN definitely has a valid point on that one.

[AllforNun]

Blimey one google search and POW !

"Mayor calls for investigation into council's 'racist' regeneration plans."

Mr Livingstone said: "Southwark council has failed to address the very real concerns of the African and Caribbean communities who have consistently alleged that they experience racism within the local authority-led regeneration process."

His comments come after a damning report in May by Lord Ouseley, the former chairman of the CRE, who warned that black traders were being driven out by the borough's regeneration plans.

Southwark council pointed out that it is acting on all 35 of Lord Ouseley's recommendations, which were contained in a report that it commissioned.

But Lee Jasper, the mayor's director of equalities and policing, said: "Black traders feel disenfranchised from the regeneration process. Our complaint is not politically motivated. Southwark [council] have had a long time to get this right and have failed to do."

He claimed that both black leaders in the area and the CRE were dissatisfied with the lack of progress made by Southwark in implementing Lord Ouseley's recommendations.

...... but hey that was only the EX mayor and is heavily smeared friend..... Oh and a knight of the realm no less...Lord Ouseley.

[KalamityKel]

Right... well it's off ya chest... wot ya gonna do about it eh?

[AllforNun]

Oh for fucks sake... don't just sign up to this spin and bullshit...

I should not have to do anything that is the bleedin point.....these people get paid by us to do this job properly.....thats what democracy should be about.....not take our money and then make out that they are doing us some favour.....

They are like children in a playground.

[Huguenot]

AFN, you're failing to make the distinction between a decision made because of someone's skin colour, and a decision whose indirect effects change across cultural boundaries.

One is racist, the other is oversight. The deliberate confusion is made by those who peddle racial conflict.

I do however notice that driving racial conflict seems insufficient for you, and that you've managed to make this a class issue too - well done to you, opening up multiple fronts.

In doing so, you've had to fabricate a back-story for me, which is nice. I can assure you that I supported the Iraq war, never touched the white stuff, and my favourite bread is Mighty White.

In short you've committed all the crimes of prejudice that you're accusing others of.

[AllforNun]

Well put if not a a load of claptrap.

You seem to take words and re-form them in order to fit your nonsensical conclusion. It's all very hands in the air, feign mock horror, swish scarf clutch loaf of mighty white, shake 'bomb em' all placard and stomp off.

Anyway back to point.........i am glad to see that finally after all these years Rye Park is back in fashion, and that access from the ED side is being made very safe indeed.....

I reckon it's C too, and it's a case of no sh*t Sherlock. People create policies which will be popular with those who have the capacity to vote for them, democracy in action innit?

[AllforNun]

and so i refer you to the last line of my opening post !

".............are soon to bring too Democracy what over leveraging has just brought to the economies of this world."

[*Bob*]

AFN, with this sort of enthusiasm and conviction, you could really get the Nunhead Forum off the ground.
