LegalEagle-ish summed it up quite nicely: "It's Camberwell"


The ED issues/gossip section is for East Dulwich issues, not Camberwell issues (there is a Camberwell Forum here). Unfortunately we do not cater for the surrounding area issues the same as the BBC news website the TV news do. Josh has started a discussion about it, which is in the "About the Forum" section http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,303078 (which was moved to that section because it was about the forum and not an East Dulwich Issue).


It is a rule that was drawn up at the forum's inception and sorry if causes confusion.

I live in east dulwich and was driving home from work when i saw this terrible incident unfolding.


I initially put it in to help ED travellers (topic transport) avoid the area on the way home but also to inform everyone of a major incident in the local area.


No one was to know how serious this was going to be, so i can understand (if you hadn't seen what i had seen) why it was moved at the time.


Anyway - it's really very sad to hear that so many people had died, including young children. awful.

let's hope that "With Southwark?s major regeneration projects running massively behind schedule " and the the fact that


"The Lib Dem-Tory coalition has always acted like it doesn?t have a strategy for dealing with the borough?s chronic housing problems. Now we know that they literally don?t have one. If the Executive can?t piece together a coherent strategy for improving housing, what hope is there of them meeting their targets for decent homes, injecting a bit of customer focus into the unresponsive repairs service, or providing a fairer billing system for its leaseholders .."


Nick Staton might be in Awe of our emergency services, but lets hope the state of this buildings and lack of decent fire escapes does not get flagged up in the report. But hey ED get's a lovely new Gym regeneration and the Livesey still sits shut and empty near another large patch of social housing.


Maybe the www.peoplesrepublicofsouthwark.co.uk should start busing the kids from the estate near the Livesey into ED everyday and bring them back in the evening, then they can play in basketball and tennis courts in Dulwich park, use the 2nd new Fusion gym refit and enjoy the Hornimans museum.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
