Come and join a local shared reading group to help you relax, improve your well-being and make new friends! The group is run by The Reader Organisation, a national charity and social enterprise, who work to connect people to great literature and to each other.

You don?t have to read anything in advance as everything is read aloud to you each week. You can simply enjoy listening to a good story or poem- there?s no pressure to talk, to read, or even to drink tea!

Additionally, The Reader Organisaition are currently working in partnership with Goldmsiths University, and as a member of this reading group you will be involved in some exciting research investigating how reading together may influence peoples? health and sense of well-being.

Everyone is welcome! Interested?

Come along to our taster session on Friday 25th July at 10.15-11.45am at Carnegie Library. We will also be holding another taster session on the 22nd August.

For more information, please get in touch

- Cllr Williams to stand down

  I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it. What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories'). But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

  You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”. Then you call me pathetic. I’m not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense. But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

  I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women. Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

  To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers. A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
