The Campaign for a Real East Dulwich.

East Dulwich, not East Clapham


I've noticed some of you like a moan about the possible future of ED and the dangers of it becoming clapham etc. Why don't you all get togther under a banner and start lobbying people, handing out leaflets, even staging events to get into the SLP or even the nationals. It may be that some chains wouldn't like the negative publicity.



i would do it but i don't really think its a problem

The dreaded fate of Claphamisation can be defined as follows:


Where snooty, blonde, pony-tailed 32 year old lasses in Crew rugby shirts, capri pants and Todds loafers whizz out of a series of estate agents (where they have been sourcing ?900,000 houses) and crash their Bugaboo prams (plus offspring) heedlessly into your legs with a fetching sneer and shove off (sans apology).


And that, my friends, is Claphamisation. Is this really what we want!!? ('Yes!!' shout all the EDForum blokes in a loud chorus.)


spymum


(Blog: Posh Mum)

however for full claphamisation we need a swarming of australian 18-22 year-old who live 15-to-a-bedroom and work behind all the local bars. We are also lacking with the everpresent scent of barbeque and the sounds of drunken games of ozzy rules and ultimate frisbee.

add to the mix clueless recent Oxbridge/Durham/Bristol/St. Andrews graduates in rugby shirts whose daddies are subbing their rent (because otherwise their ?16K grad job in publishing sales would only stretch to a flat in a black area), who only feel comfortable in aesthetically unthreatening cafes/clubs/boozers e.g. All Bar One/Cafe Nero that remind them of the provincial spa towns they grew up in, and are positively terrified of being exposed to any of the, y'know, culture/difference/heterogeny that London has to offer


Clapham should be reclassified as part of Berkshire in my opinion....


p.s. i acknowledge that this is snobbery, but at least it's posh-on-posh

JoeChuff, you are spot on!


But has someone forgotten a fleet of Audi TTs driven by men in deck shoes and rugby shirts who look like Shrek but bray like David Cameron? They spend their days boasting about what exotic animal they last ate and how much profit they have made by buying for investment purposes.

Oh, Ant et al!


You are sooo describing my darling husband! Every single item in his wardrobe. By the way, a Rolex watch is currently considered 'old hat', it is Jaeger LeCoultre or Longines, clearly. The current car of choice is now an Aston Martin DB9. I would offer you all a lift tomorrow night, but I shall be leaving the car(s) at home as I shall be drinking Hurrah!

    • So you are justifying building on the green belt, in Londons case "the lungs of London" which will causes harm to natures ability to turn co2 into o2? 
    • But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.
    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
