I'm not sure if other members have experienced the same situation, but on a few occasions we have offered a few of our baby items. This is a conditional offer that the items go to a good home and are not sold on. As it turns out, on a few of the occasions, someone pretending to take the items for their "twins" were actually a front for some type of racket. Now, I don't have proof of this but it's pretty obvious.....


Losing faith in humanity........

Should have sought out a charity like the National Childbirth Trust, they have "jumbles" and meetings for expectant parents, who then know about the sales ... or just go to a charity shop, or seek out the local women and child (pc?) refuge via social services ... always grateful.

binky, your name suggests you are small and your comments are certainly smallminded. I sometimes give things away on the forum and hopefully to a good home. Sometimes these are really appreciated and for different reasons. All I would say to lurkey is that most humans are good and if you are giving something away via the forum just look at the posts of the person who wants whatever it is. If they are a serial seller of goods then that's probably why they want whatever it is.

If you give an item away, it is hardly reasonable to dictate what happens to it once in someone else's possession.


Unless you give away a puppy or a goldfish.


Maybe those sneaky sellers were making money to provide for their family.


Anyway, commenting on my height seems a bit sizest

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
