Yes, apparently, according to the tedious and predictable Carole Cadwalladr, East Dulwich (SE22) is in Peckham (SE15).


She has to use this argument as she never bothered to get out of bed and doorstep those shabby neighbours of Jacqui's on Ivydale Rd. She consequently needed some way of using EDF comments to represent what 'the neighbours' might say, as it were. Ha ha.


Since when has quoting ED Forum anon. comments been a legitimate placeholder for actually talking to anybody? This is vaguely acceptable on a local rag with few resources (South London Stress...), but not on a national newspaper. Unless you're The Sun.


And then they, 'journalists', and the mainstream press, go on about how bloggers 'don't do research' etc. etc., and are so unreliable.


I do wish so-called journalists would get off their fat arses and get back to actually finding out something most people don't already know; from primary sources.


In contrast, I was quite impressed by the amount of actual local leg-work that went into the first edition of Southwark News - Dulwich & Herne Hill Edition.

What snotty comments from Carole Cadwalladr indeed.


I can't think of two neighbours who are nearly as geographically, economically, culturally and postally as different as ED and Peckham. Historically, apart from proximity there's little that links the two towns.


I'm sure than many Peckham residents will be disturbed to be associated with such a den of iniquity.

There is a tongue so firmly in its cheek here, huge-nut

Get real people, she's a journalist, they tend to be lazy and write crap...albeit sometimes eloquently. I can't help giggling at the outrage at this piece, just because it's saying SE22 is SE15 compared to lack of comment on the acres of newsprint everyday that are wrong, bad and often dangerous......

No, because she doesn't get off her actual arse to do any actual journalism. That was my point. The SE15/SE22 thing was merely a by-product of her general laziness.

Oh, don't get me going. I've done pieces myself that were slaughtered by the so-called night editor (Mr Clueless) that still (years later) have not been corrected online by the relevant - self-same - publication.

Hilarious, nice one real-andy.

Louisiana - I;ve always been interested in this...I work for a broadcaster and have had occasion to follow up "stories" in the national papers. I recall wasting an entire morning doing just that with a front page piece in the FT - only to discover it was entirely bogus. Facts, dates, everything was wrong. All this despite the boldly emblazened byline and winsome picture of the miscreant journo who had penned this turd. I also have a mate who works at a big national organisation. She found herself quoted extensively in a broadsheet. She has dealings with that particular journo on a regular basis - and had she spoken to him, she would have said pretty much what she was quoted as saying.Only trouble is, she hadnt spoken to himk on that occasion. The Guaradian pulled a similar stunt with another mate of mine.


My question is - is it the night/sub editor who makes this shit up - or is it the actual writer ( not you, obviously!)?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
