I have to wonder who's going to benefit from the Trump tarrifs Possibly those in tje know who dumped their shares before it happened, banked the cash, bought shares at rock bottom and are now waiting for stock that crashed to go up again and make a fortune. But the bigger losers will be Americans who expect industry to move their factories to America, provide jobs and revive the economy, 20 years ago that could have happened but since then most factory jobs can now be done by robots including warehouse movements, and if a tech company is going to build a new factory they will obviously use robotics and maybe AI to do the work, which means a gluten of goods and no one with the cash to buy them. America will go into another depression and take the rest of the world with it. Forget the issues Liz Truss and Rachel Reeves combined have caused the economy, the trump tarrifs will make them look like saints by comparison.

That is a very good question

It was a first class delivery of an April fools joke Almost as good as spaghetti trees

I guess now, we just have to wait to see how the results are spun by council officers to show an overwhelming response 🤔

It is a separate subject, but I believe it's exactly what Rachel Theives is asking "Cash in hand mate, that's cash for me grassing you up. " We are all expected to become stool pigeons. (Dare you not to sing or hum the old Kid Creole sing now)

This is a better idea Whistle-blowers of tax avoiders to receive a reward If we all blow the whistle on the big American corporations avoiding tax in this country (Amazon, Google... ) then we will get rewarded whilst making them pay their fair share. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/mar/26/tax-avoidance-whistleblowers-will-earn-share-of-any-hmrc-proceeds-rachel-reeves-confirms Win win

Nice to see Kixs have reopened in their new location.

I am curious why some cyclists jump red lights. I was on a bus the other day which was stopped at a red pedestrian controlled light, a large number of cyclists also stopped but as soon as they could approximately half of them started up again and went through the red light. I was once told it's to do with losing momentum, but in this case that's obviously not the reason. Can someone from the cycling side explain the rational because I, and lots of others, just don't get it? If its not acceptable behaviour for motorised vehicles, why is it accepted by a large number of cyclists?

Earl, your knowledge of random things including old TMOs makes me wonder if you work for a council 🤔

Guess its like a Dutch squirel bridge https://www.dutchnews.nl/2017/07/why-did-the-squirrel-cross-the-road-it-didnt/

To be clear There really isn't a problem with that happening at the moment, so why is it an issue in your mind Been meaning to ask, which part of the council do you work for?

Another cost for them Don't forget the increase in business rates, higher employers NI, minimum wage increase, and if people are discouraged from shopping local a potential dip in revenue then additional costs for parking may be the straw that breaks their backs.

Ah, there you go again, telling disabled people how they can travel without listening to their needs. You should be consulting with people with mobility needs, including the many different types of disability, age related conditions and other infirmities. Tell you what, I lend you one of my wheelchairs for a week and you lend me your legs then we can see how you find it in someone else's shoes. That way you might have a better idea of the daily challenges you assume to know all about...

Love the way everyone (who are, i suspect, able bodied) speaks for the disabled and tells us how great or easy access to Dulwich village is. Let me be frank, it's not easy to get there for a large group of people unless they drive and that is the nub of the problem with the current layout.
