Couldn't think of an original post Davis, so had to duplicate your post on the other thread?


I agree El Pibe on the Syrian aspect. But remember, the muslim brotherhood for example, emerged in Egypt in 1928, and if we are talking about regional activism, it has always been part of the region. There is a struggle in the Islamic world between reformists (moderates) who want to do business with the West and orthodox fundamentalists. That undercurrent has been bubbling for a hundred years! What usually happens is the government quoshes the fundamentalist movement, but I understand the Syrian government are asking for help now.


I see it all as an offshoot of the Arab spring, and this time it seems to have growing numbers in support, and to be gaining ground in several countries at the same time. It's a wonder the region didn't fall into anarchy before tbh.

    • FFS Please stop the these awful cheese puns!    Not one of them has made me Truckle    
    • we need an address to report it to the council   can't you find out where it is and go and speak to the people? Owners, neighbours....
    • I am not sure if anyone follows this thread, but if you do, you'll know this is still happening, almost daily for at least an hour a day Sometimes in the rain, sometimes in the boiling heat.   We're on about 2 hours today 😞  It appears to be the same(ish) time each day, mid-afternoon. The only way to get help is to consistently call the Council when it is happening.  It does not meet the threshold for RSPCA intervention (even though the noise suggests the dog's needs are clearly not being met if it is barking in distress for an hour) according to the RSPCA's website. So, if you want to help the dog, in short, you have to go down the Council route (and it needs more than one person raising the alarm).  Even if it is filed under a noice complaint, you're (hopefully) helping the dog because the Council will investigate. If you find it distressing, here is the Council's number/email: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/public-health-and-safety/community-safety/noise-and-nuisance/contact-us-about-noise-or-nuisances
    • We also just had Greg round to reverse the door on a cabinet we bought and hang it in our bathroom. He did a great job and we are really happy with it. I am in South London but not in Dulwich, so I really appreciated Greg travelling a bit further to us and responding to the job so quickly.  I'm sure we will require him again in the future ! And a nice guy as well - thank you Greg! His number again - 07949640999
