Are you looking to join a bookclub? We're a group of general readers in the Nunhead/East Dulwich area, who enjoy a friendly talk about books. We meet on the third Tuesday of the month, usually at a member's home (or occasionally at a pub). It's normal for us to discuss one book a month, but as we're skipping August this year, in September we'll be discussing My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite and Now We Shall Be Entirely Free by Andrew Miller. If you'd like to join us, please get in touch.

  I am quoting what a Tory SPAD said about Jenrick. I've not analysed Jenrick's exact words but it sounds like he is going down the GB News route which if true is rather sad. This was picked up by the media so you can follow this up - an article below, the Mail and Telegraph may have alternative takes. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/badenoch-defends-jenricks-remarks-about-people-from-alien-cultures I could stereotype and generalise about many cultures, races, nationalities and religions but I try not to. I'd rather hear in more detail from a Pakistani community leader and the like rather than a white privileged politician. https://mcb.org.uk/the-muslim-council-of-britain-calls-for-jenrick-to-be-sacked/

  I think it should be free and they should pay £1 for every one on target. Proceeds to go towards a Xmas bonus for the street cleaners.

  Sorry Malumbu, but to say that Pakistani men are being 'demonised' is disgraceful. The men in the rape gangs were predominantly from Pakistan - that is a fact. To suggest pointing this out is victimisation totally undermines the horror that the predominantly white young girls suffered at their hands. The men exploited this, using their nationality as a shield, and told their victims they wouldn't be believed. And they were right - some of he brave people who did call it out lost their jobs. To deny there is a strong cultural element to this, so as to protect your fear of being seen as anything other than liberal and progressive, is disingenuous at the very least. And to suggest that calling it out is far right is insane, I'm sure plenty women and girls of Pakistani heritage would agree. That Jenrick and Badenoch have picked this up and used it as a political football is a really disappointing start to the year, though at least today's debate in PMQs was respectful in its tone. But for the victims to have this glibly brought up and used to bait the other side just goes to show how little some of the protagonists really care about them.
