Hi


I was away for the weekend and returned to find a thread with the title "Dulwich Medical Centre... bunch of ####s". This post has been removed because I do not want offensive threads/posts on the forum. Apologies to all those who were offended by it and the length of time it took to remove it.

A thread with that sort of title gets removed no questions asked and it should not have been up for as long as it was. When I get time to go through it and if it has some interesting info in it and after I have removed the expletives then yes, I'll put it back. If it does go back up then it will be in the ED Businesses section of the forum.

>If it does go back up then it will be in the ED Businesses section of the forum.


Not specific to this thread, but I am concerned about threads on GP practices being assigned to the Businesses section. I think of them (still) as public services, like police, libraries, Royal Mail, schools, trains and buses, NHS hospitals, or any other NHS provision.

No one complained about it, but I assume you are complaining now so I have edited the title of that thread.


> It's acceptable to call local children idiots?

I suggest you start a thread about it in the Family Room Discussion to find the answer, the thread in question was referring to the parents and their bus blocking parking techniques.

People complained.

Offensiveness is in the brain of the beholder. There were no complaints about the 'idiots' post until now and upon receiving the complaint we changed the 'offending' title.

What is offensive about the set of characters ####s?

Isn't that a pretty low offensiveness threshold?

I have no idea what was meant to be behind the # but assume it meant twits or something like that.

Maybe that's why nobody complained. It wasn't actually offensive unless you used your imagination to create a phrase that was actually offensive.


Personally, I'm more interested in what Dulwich Medical Centre have to say about their hypocracy in cancelling someones appointment when 2 minutes late, when they are usually running over 1/2 an hour late themselves, than I am about a number of the other posts on the forum. Perhaps you should consider putting it back (although I suppose it's your forum so you can do what you want...)

Gimme, as you are "interested in what Dulwich Medical Centre have to say about their hypocracy" I suggest you contact them directly.


I do want to put the thread back up, I'm just finding it hard to find the time to go through it and edit it and as the original poster of that thread has reposted the message again the urgency has gone. I'm also locking this thread but the other one discussing the DMC is still open.

    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
