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

    • 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.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
