Almost Jeremy. But then there are those who can't afford to move, or are tied for other reasons in rural or urban. They moan and groan, hate their surroundings rather than embrace them. Grass is greener mentality. Those people annoy me too. Put up or shut up I say.


Louisa.

God bless you for that.


And I'm off out to meet friends; a new restaurant; followed by outdoor cinema and a bar or two.


Obviously I really wish I was staring at the same field as yesterday and leafing through the Radio Times, but there's plenty of time for all that.

I have never supported UKIP or the BNP.


I was on the march from Trafalgar Square to Victoria Park. 1978


Rock against the nazis victoria park 1978 : the clash, tom robinson band, x-ray spex,steel pulse,


I had bottles thrown at me by The National Front passing the Blade Bone Pub Bethnal Green road.

Now a Noodle Bar. ??


Only last night I was in dispute with a such an 'Arsehole' mentioned above.

A Portuguese Racist who had lived in Johannesburg ranting on about the 'Bleeks' there and living

here in the UK having too much power. In my (me) own country.

Why wasn't I doing something about it.


The likes of such extreme verbal racism I have not heard anywhere for a long time.

He was still supporting apartheid and would like to see it here.


The point I'm making here is not that such discrimination was not around in East Dulwich 20 years ago

but I certainly was not part of it. As inferred above.


However he was not the type of people I was referring to. I was referring the prats that after

drinking 2 Jaeger Bombs think they can fight the world and then go out and kick wing wing mirrors off

of half a dozen cars. 'I'm the f****** kiddie brigade.'


That wasn't around 20+ years ago.

Jaeger bombs may have not been about 20+ years ago but random acts of alcohol fuelled violence and vandalism have been here forever.

Ha well-observed Jeremy! (Do they sell glorified cheese on toast at Brockley Market I wonder...?)

Do they still have Lucky 7s at the Gowlett? If so, you need to get yourself along to that Jocky, always a great night. London is fab and its true, life is what you make it.


(Tho I do sometimes wish I wasn't looking at the same old field night after night, worrying about levels of interest in my melons).

Jeremy and Numbers.


Brockley market sells everything, including things like posh cheese on toast. And you're right jezza, I'd hate it if it were in ED because it wouldn't have the same vibe and mixed atmosphere, it would be a homogenous dull middle class event aimed at the keeping up with the jones' ilk. Middle aged middle class men sporting awkward hipster beards and ironic glasses patronising everyone by buying street food items at a tenner a pop laughing at the rest of us munching on a pack of chipsticks from the co-op. The bar-stewards. Grrr.

No please don't, i'm feeling uncomfortable for her/you, and i'm also wondering how much of this isn't about "her"


I'm also getting the resentful-renter vibe here too

And there exactly is your problem.

Resentful renter? Are you on glue?

Good fcuking grief, yes there's a point, and she's far from disappointed.

Jeremy you're just struggling, full stop. Either that or deliberately being a tool, or both.

Oh well done, THAT'S the point. The love in with all things ED is extremely nauseating, it's as if it's the hub of the civilised world, and it's just a so so suburb, as many who've lived there and moved out have found out.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • 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%.
