I obviously don't know the people involved, but it's like when I read about the Coke takeover of Innocence. I'm sure the Innocence guys try to convince themselves that it's for the best and that it just means their product will reach a wider market without compromising their principles. Maybe they even manage to believe it for a while.


But at the end of the day they were offered a lot of money and it was too much to turn down. Principles be damned.


I'm not condemning them for it, I'd do exactly the same thing.

East Dulwich Picturehouse...the stuff that dreams are made of...a true dream come true. We've passed planning, build it and they will come. Let's just hope that building starts soon and everyone get's their memberships in. A Community Cinema for the whole Community, what a great amenity to the area!

A proper local flicks - I hope they spray a Wrestlers HotDog smell throughout the auditorium and the seats are sticky with KiaOra.

That's not always KiaOra Maxxi

I do hope there will be a good selection of gluten/dairy free confectionary. Fair trade, of course.


Oh, and if there's chocolate, it simply must be single estate, 80% cacao.


And frehsly pressed juices, please.


I'm so glad we'll have such a marvellous resource for the whole community to share.

Hiya all


Re; Picture house.


Is this the same "picturehouse" organisation as in Brixton Ritzy? That is to say, the "picturehouse" of high staff turnover, rock bottom wages, regular strikes and demo's, lost saturday performances, etc etc.


An organisations like Starbucks, which cultivate hip images of themselves, but act like unreconstructed capitalists?


The same organisation that is owned by a large cinema chain? (Odeon isn't it?)


Can't we do better than that?


Until Picturehouse gets its staff relationships and wages sorted out it should be boycotted. ( I Do!)


Yours

    • 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? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • 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.
