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.

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
