Suspect it will become a 16 storey block for 1000s of student flats with a Londis on the ground floor. With no need for additional buses, trains or GP surgeries to be added into the area.

Well, I walk past every morning on my way to work via Peckham Rye station. I reckon I see at least two or three vehicles drive down the school street from the Crystal Palace Road end each day. The signs aren't actually conspicuous and the road itself is very busy at the time with commuters cycling, people dropping off at the school there and other vehicles causing general carnage trying to turn around to avoid the cameras. It's chaos almost every day and so must be quite easy to miss the signs that are positioned high up and very close to the point of no return.

How many people were injured in each of these accidents?

I agree. We should actually just close all these shops down and that would solve all the issues.

Maybe we don't need lots of immigration actually. We have 1.8 million people already living here who are unemployed right now. We could offer them work first before we import cheaper labour that keeps people on the scrap heap. And once they are in work they might feel secure enough to start a family of their own solving some of the so-called population crisis caused by low birth rates, instead of simply importing new people to pay the boomers' pensions.

Fine, I'll rephrase it FFS. There's a school street opposite the end of my road and the council must be making a bucketload of cash from it every day, with the number of drivers I see go through there in a series of unrelated unfortunate incidents that happen unexpectedly and unintentionally, resulting in damage to each driver's finances.

That footpath looks wider than most others in the area. Works well in practice. Leave it be I'd say. If youv have a problem with the trees you should lobby the council to remove them.

Yes, your name and political views aren't mentioned there, you see. But what the title of the thread does refer to is a report in the Telegraph (and other right wing and, actually, left wing media) on an internal BBC memo that was considered by the BBC board on 17 October 2025 and which was so devastating the Director General himself considered he should resign.

Whatever you think about Trump or Lowe or any other politician is entirely irrelevant to this topic. You don't need to keep bringing up their politics or how much you hate them because it's just not pertinent to this discussion.

Was the white powder any good?

Has it been more of an absolute shambles ever since the council took back management?

You miss the point entirely. The motivations of the the BBC's victims are irrelevant. You are advocating that their failure to be impartial is justified because you disagree politically with the people they are inaccurate about. This is the whole problem. They don't make these "mistakes" with Starmer / the Greens / Davey because they agree with everything those people say.

So the standards you hold the BBC to are the "several people" are also incompetent. Great. Half a million people last year stopped paying the licence fee because of those standards. The Trump story came out of an internal BBC memo. But it's not just Trump and Lowe and other politicians you don't happen to agree with where their standards have fallen way below what licence payers are entitled to. There are a litany of failures covered by that memo, covering such broad ranging subjects as Israel/Hams, Transgender issues, Racism, Immigration, and oversimplified or distorted narratives on historical content. It's a deep rooted problem that needs solving immediately and yesterday's follow on blunder instills no confidence.

It happened again yesterday.

That's what the Labour manifesto might have led people to believe but I don't think we will see that in practice this month. For a start income tax rates are definitely going up, and a number of other taxes are too (NICs for self employed partners in LLPs etc). And at the same time, spending is not coming down. In fact it seems it will be going up with the end of the two child cap on child benefits, no adjustment to the triple lock, endless public sector payrises and so on.
