Aghh please don't go down the imperial route - "we fought two world wars for the right to use arbitrary units that don't use base 10 nonsense". Brave new world of the early 70s when the UK still believed it was at the cutting edge of technology (which to be fair there are numerous examples of where we were - but that is another subject). School kids like myself were drilled in metric, Kellogg had a campaign at that time on their cereal packets - something like 1 metre equals feet 3.3, it's bigger than a yard you see. Yet 45 years later market stalls in leave dominant areas still feel that they have a right to be metric martyrs...


Canada get it. Ireland get it. We can get it. Or align to America where it will take another millennium.


Have switched off BBC news and moved to Channel 4. Newsnight fine though.

Well it's not Theresa May and certainly not Jeremy Corbyn (Thank God)

Who else do you think makes the Rules ?

and Corbyn ? What about Corbyn.

? Blair has 10 homes ? The ones we know about.

He makes a fortune by speaking at lucrative events.

Corbyn is after a Slice of this very Lucrative Pie.


Labour could not give a shite about the #Homeless


Brexit or no Brexit.

What is your (credible) evidence for the part in bold above, exactly?


If you haven't got any, then please don't post such (insert bad word of your choice, such as crap) on here.

BREX: 27%

LAB: 22%

CON: 15%

GRN: 10%

LDEM: 9%

UKIP: 7%

CHUK: 6%


When TIG first formed they were polling at 18%, but have quickly fallen, BP is currently enjoying a similar new party bounce. Regardless, with only 5 weeks until the vote there's no time for complacency from the remain side. This is already going to be less about manifestos and instead a straight forward re-run of the referendum, the difference being that the vote is fragmented, affecting Remain more than Leave. At the moment there isn't a party that remainers can clearly identify with and get behind, like there is with the Brexit Party...it does what it says on the tin. BP obviously picking up most of it's votes from disgruntled Tory Brexit voters. If Labour backed a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote then they would pick up a lot of the remain vote. I know that despite not wanting to vote for anything to do with Corbyn, on this issue I would vote for Labour thinking they had the best chance of beating Farage and winning seats...

      Had to take a second look!

      Or turning left,  continuing on down Forest Hill Road and turning right further up.  Google maps has Dulwich marked at the junction by the old Grove, where the South Circular heads off towards the rest of Dulwich. But whatever, yes you can definitely get to Dulwich by going in the direction shown on the signpost! I'm not sure you would get "anywhere" by going straight down, though, let alone 23 miles down 🤣 I like the "Now here" though!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      There is no doubt that Labour's doom mongering when it came into office spooked the markets. Plenty of analysts and businesses said so pre-budget. And why the budget was leaked so much before its announcement, I do not know. Honestly, whoever is in charge of comms really needs to get the boot.  I am so sick of hearing them bang on about 14 years of Tory decay - Labour repeatedly pressed the Tories for longer, more astringent lockdowns. It's largely thanks to the furlough scheme that we're in so much debt. I was such a staunch lockdown supporter at the time and now, looking back, it seems draconian. We're still paying the price in so many ways.

      Dulwich is a slightly ill-defined concept.  I think this definition is "Dulwich Library" via Barry Road

      And for the crooked temporary Christmas Mail staff... Who I've seen holding envelopes up to the light to check their contents.
