Funny and sadly, very accurate:'(

Thanks for offering the glimmer of hope PR although I'm not sure if they would have produced other editions because the book was the outcome of a poetry competion and as I understood it all the poems selected were published in the one book. I may try and contact the publishers and check though....

    • It is disgraceful if it means small businesses have to close and people are displaced.
    • Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Dulwich: this is disgusting favouritism for the rich! It's disgraceful!!! Southwark Council upgrades the public realm in Peckham: this is disgusting social cleansing! It's disgraceful!!! #SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome is real By the way, aficionados of prostitution and drugs will be happy to hear they remain a problem in the streets south of King's Cross station, just as they were when I lived there prior to gentrification. (To be clear: they weren't a problem because of my presence). I'm sure that will be a great relief to some of our friends on here that are scared knocking down a derelict building will turn Peckham into Royal Tunbridge Wells overnight.
    • I very much hope 'social cleansing' is not on the cards - the great value of Peckham is its rich mix of people both living and visiting the areas. If you mean removal or discouragement of criminal activity (including vandalism) then I would agree of course - and I would be very much in favour of actual cleaning in the area - the fact that Peckham is 'mixed class' is a good thing, surely (which is what 'social cleansing' often refers to). Kings Cross (which stimulated this part of the debate) had a very significant prostitution and drugs culture - with some elements of rack-renting and significant criminality. It was also far more 'run-down' and over a wider area) than the area around our station - even if that could do with more investment.
    • Yet we can. Given the development of the shopping centre, the expensive flats, lack of social hosing, closure of the stalls and hairdressers around the station to make room for the new square, I think it's quite clear where this is going.   It's not improving the area for the existing, its removal of the existing to make it better for the upgrade of the area.
