Last night in Oakhurst /East Dulwich Grove a cyclist cycling in a very predatory manor. Dark clothes, face covering, attempted to snatch a phone from a young woman. Reported for what it's worth. About 8:30 pm.

There was a very good demonstration yesterday, peaceful and angry at the same time. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=364462089050539&set=pcb.364462485717166

More horror: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/may/13/shireen-abu-aqleh-israeli-police-palestinian-funeral?fbclid=IwAR0oBn8tHZ6EoYQI9ZUaHQgG6PjPR4MXS1XRK467Nm1kG09w0UR1HOptuEA

I asked the manager of the Clockhouse and he replied "travelers funeral".

Our next book is: 10 minutes 38 seconds in this strange world, by Elif Shafak. It's about a sex worker in Instanbul dying in a rubbish bin. Sounds morbid but she thinks back on her life and it's really good: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jun/12/10-minutes-38-seconds-in-this-strange-world-by-elif-shafak-review Sorry about the change, Lisa we can do A Quantum Life when it comes out in paper back Chick

There will be a change of book.

Dear book group, Thanks to everyone who took part in another very good meeting. Thanks also for those of you who emailed to say you couldn?t attend. Our next meeting is 25th May at 7.00pm on zoom Our next book is A Quantum Life by Hakeem Oluseyi https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/55411736-a-quantum-life It promises to be interesting and not daunting. Our next film is Citizen Kane on the 6th May in the Blake Room at the Clockhouse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane I?ll probably have a small BBQ in June if my bees behave.

As I said earlier I was told by a pub manager it was because of "gypsy funeral".

A pub manager told me it was because of a travelers funeral. Anti traveler bigotry-the last socially acceptable racism. Had it been a black or Asian or LGBT funeral that would have broken race relation law/anti discrimination law.

I was told by a pub manager the pubs were all closed because a traveller's funeral was taking place. Anti traveller bigotry-the last socially acceptable racism.

I won?t be drawn into a ?whataboutism? argument. If you want to debate the rights and wrongs of Hamas then start your on thread. I hardly think the Guardian article could be described as propaganda.

Phone the police and keep phoning them until they do something. You shouldn't have to put up with this crap. Or if you can find out who their employer is complain to them very loudly, they wont want the bad publicity. Please keep on at the police that's what they are there for. And create hell with the council.

Our next film is Citizen Kane on Friday 6th May at 8.00pm in the Blake Room of the Clockhouse. All welcome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Kane
