what do you expect bin men to do? pirouette down the street smelling of roses, this has got to be a wind-up, either that or east dulwich really has become a middle-class ghetto? Edit - first post from George's - it's a troll complete with apostrophe wind up. http://three-ninjas.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/binman.jpg

There should be a Godwin's Law for the mentioning of house prices. I just wish the younger generation could have partaken in the property owning class as much as I have my first studio was 15k on an income of 8k and I've hated the boom and all it meant - a fair price for mine would be half of what it's currently worth - the society that would have resulted would be much more to my taste than the spiv, get rich quick - boom and bust society we've got. Most of Occupy London would settle for a decent job and a chance to live in a reasonable place - preferably their own - they are mostly resolutely middle class in this respect.

Ask any renter maybe ?

Strafer Jack - I couldn't have predicted 225billion or nearabouts of funny money being pushed into the system and near 0 interest rates - the market correction that should happen would be welcome by most of the young methinks - and even myself as a homeowner so I stand by my comments at the time. BTW -even the Pope blames it on the Banks In material goods markets, natural factors and productive capacity as well as labour in all of its many forms set quantitative limits by determining relationships of costs and prices which, under certain conditions, permit an efficient allocation of available resources. In monetary and financial markets, however, the dynamics are quite different. In recent decades, it was the banks that extended credit, which generated money, which in turn sought a further expansion of credit. In this way, the economic system was driven towards an inflationary spiral that inevitably encountered a limit in the risk that credit institutions could accept. They faced the ultimate danger of bankruptcy, with negative consequences for the entire economic and financial system.

In 2005 I was saying this was all going to end in tears it was obvious to anybody who opened their eyes and used their commonsense - not to the politicos or the bankers though as they cheerleaded through new highs and blew the bubble ever higher - Hugenot whilst Joe Public may have basked in their new found illusory wealth most had neither the time or inclination to see what was really going on - a small elite owned the system , bought the legislature and devised the products that have frankly blown up the global economy - they knew or should have known the consequences of their actions - to date they have only had their wrists slapped and are still cashing out their wealth either with golden handshake retirement pots or continuing bonuses. The Telegraph article is particuarly pertinent to the middle class ghetto that ED is becoming - wake up to the fact that the super rich have shafted you and your children. Now that the top one per cent own around a quarter of the wealth ? or to put it another way, now that the top 25 per cent own three quarters of the wealth, with the middle class scrabbling around for the crumbs; now that the rich are getting richer, and everyone else is getting poorer; now that the underclass is smouldering away, ready to smash our windows and steal our stuff; now that our jobs are going and our mortgages are hanging by a thread ? it seems to me that pretty much nobody is middle class {/b}. That?s how it?s been for most of history, and that?s how it is even now, across most of the world. There?s the rich, and then there?s the rest. Hats off to Occupy London - now I'm off to take them some food and sustenance and pass on the good wishes and otherwise of East Dulwich whilst sleeping in my comfortable warm middle class bed like the good hypocrite I am.

Been twice and talked to quite a few of the protestors - really nice bunch - keep the place spotlessly clean and if you could crystallise their demands then it would be we are in the worst economic depression in modern history (c Mervyn King who actually said ever )the educated young have massive debts , virtually no job or house prospects or a viable stake in a fair society and they've had enough and not a single senior banker has walked the walk yet for the chaos they have caused whilst yob rioters are quite rightly doing time. They knew what they were doing - it was as the Oscar winning move says an . as does the Telegraph. If you can do go and visit and engage even if you want to disagree with what they are saying.

Replay music is very useful .......

This is the very thin end to a very long wedge leading ultimately to a Blade-runneresque dystopian future for ED. Ads for Cash not Cuts.The smokers on the Palmerston council regulation sized benches truly have a bleak future to look out on to. A previously award winning Turneresque wall turned into a harlot whore of Babylonian excess. BTW Palmerston you need to paint your upstairs windows they're looking a bit shabby.

Bring back smoking in pubs - that would clear 'em out.

Mmm I like this Jesus I suspect he would live in North Peckham though rather than East Dulwich - probably in an unlicensed shed close to the railway muttering to the rats.

+1 to James

That would be Steve Job's the Buddhist who refused to get involved with the Bill Gates's Foundation to eliminate the diseases of poverty - priorities - he's probably having to explain this conumdrum to the non existent Lord Buddha as we speak.

And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, ?It is written, ?My house shall be called a house of prayer,? but you make it a den of robbers.? ? Matthew 21:12-17

I suspect Jesus - the sandal wearing revolutionary would be down and dirty with the protestors - I've never quite got this home counties , tweed wearing Christianity. Good luck to them.
