I thought I'd been promised that I would grow up to live in a rational and progressive society which would provide for the greatest good of the greatest number, with intelligent and decent allocation of resources allowing all who possibly could to fulfill their potential.


I'm absolutely certain that we were not going to start imperial wars or send young men to die pointlessly in Afghanistan (you know, what with Rudyard Kipling already having pointed out the gigantic stupidity of that one somewhat previously).


And we can't even manage a vegetarian restaurant in SE22. Hah.

Re. Co-op - don't want to get you all into a froth but in my mums little town of Spilsby, Lincolnshire have always been only two supermarkets, a Co-op and a newish and much better located Somerfield. I went back at the weekend to find that since Co op bought Somerfield they have sold on the quality Somerfield site to Sainsburys (now about to open there next month) and have kept their old site. This strategy would suggest that they are unlikely to keep both sites on Lordship Lane and may not even keep the best one either so I'm sticking with my bet that we'll get something different on one of those sites.

Cate, if you can get a second confirmation from the bloke in the pub then we'll take it as read.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.
