Such a load of crap: British jobs for British people. Don?t they realise how many British people work aboard? It like when there are complaints that immigrants do not learn English ? have you been to Spain and seen the expat community with their Spanish issue of the Daily Mail!


At least my dog can have something to chew at the weekend when the leaflet turns up.

I'm not offended by their posting their offensive views, and I'm not convinced by the posties that won't deliver - it's not their job to judge the content of what they deliver.


The BNP have a democratic right to be heard, even - bleugh - to swank around at Garden Parties this summer apparently. Let's hope they get hoist with their own petard. It's now our responsibility to go around keeping the discussion alive and challenging their simplistic and wrong-headed views. Trouble is of course no-one I know has any time for them, and I am not sure I'd be all that welcome in BNP heartland anyway.


The poster deconstruction link was excellent, thanks lenk and RosieH. But then clicking through to hear more about the Nazi-sympathising BNP family.. that really gave me the chills.

If people don't want BNP candidates to get elected, it's not good enough just to say 'A plague on all their houses - I won't vote for any of them'. You've got to get out and vote for some other party than the BNP, otherwise they will win seats by default.
I spoke to my postman about this issue. Post office bosses asked if they wanted to post these leaflets and could say no if they wanted (if they could provide a good reason). He said he, 'declined by sticking up two fingers to them'. 'If the BNP get in then we're all in trouble'. He is black and so is his colleague that posted the leaflet through my door earning around ?80-90 for a drop of 500 doors.
I think focusing on B.N.P is just to incite people to go out and vote. But why should we vote for a Euro M.P, or anything to give it premise. We were not allowed our Referendem were we? Also local council votes ,I dont think so. they cannot even replace twenty year old broken down kitchens in our road .But its o.k to refurbish Southwark town Hall, costing thousands.So dont worry about the Nazi types coming yet, lets concentrate on the politicians who think we are mugs.

Christ Morag and I think I'm pissed. You lead the way, in a kind of swerving left and right fashion.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
