As we enter the New Austerity and return to traditional values I wondered whether we should reinstate the annual East Dulwich Beauty Queen contest.


From careful reading of the East Dulwich Forum I know that there are sufficient young men would would volunteer for the panel of judges.


It is less clear that the large number of young women who are competent and efficient organisers would have the spare time to do the organisation.


The competition could be held as part of the late Spring Goose Green Fair and take place under the East Dulwich Forum banner.

I would like to volunteer my services as a judge. And I can assure you that my decision will be based upon the personal character of the contestants, rather than a crude and lecherous assessment of their looks.


To show that we have moved forward and are not a bunch of crusty, sexist old dinosaurs I propose that we should allow these tarts to show they have brains as well as beauty by having a section of the contest based upon the ability to change a tyre. In the unlikely event of any totty beng able to complete such a task it will show that these beauties are not as thick as s**t fter all.

As a crusty and sexist old dinosaur let me say straightaway that, in line with the OP's cri de coeur for a return to traditional values, I would most certainly base my marking in such a competition on markedly crude and lecherous assessments of the gels' looks. As for getting them to change a tyre, I believe the tried and trusted method is to stand by the roadside, looking helpless and forlorn, and flashing a shapey leg at likely looking chaps in motor cars as they pootle by. I have to admit though that this has never worked for me....

And I believe they are aspiring to improve provisions for the welfare of small children and good-looking animals.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
