Oh, sorry I made you cringe.


One day, I'm sure, you'll comment on what's said, instead of who said it....

I will say a couple of things about the Liddle piece for now -


if it was written by a Corbynist, or anyone vaguely left, it would be written off as "typically anti-American"


it bangs on a bit about "unicorns" - rich coming from a Brexiteer


And to even pretend that asking about skin colour is merely concern about "ginger hair" - y'all have basically lost your minds


You quote O Neill and Liddle because you respect them. They write absolute garbage. We can dive into any article of your choice but you are the one who likes "them" not what they write.


It is embarrassing. I dismissed nutters like keano and glen because they are obviously too far gone. For the longest time, too long, I paid you Cat, the respect of being more intelligent. Someone who felt they may have made the wrong bet and needed some way of climbing back. But at every turn you double down. The contrast with your "outward appearance " of objectivity is stark

"It's an intentionally OTT article...the brazzeness of it, is sort of the point. "


and what IS that point? to what end? You've quoted it as .. something... but what? It makes a point? But not? Because it's intentionally OTT? I think Liddle actually believes this stuff - or thinks enough of his followers believe it to make little difference. So is it meaningful? Or meaningless?



"But thanks for your 'insight' that its anti-American..... "


I didn't say that. What I said was, if it was written by an leftie, it would be written-off as anti-American


You see the difference?


"It's amusing that you find me so puzzling, I'm flaterred...I really don't think about you at all."


everyone reading this knows this isn't true

And yet Meghan herself is judged for asserting herself by making her own complaint!

I used the term, 'through the looking glass' on another thread yesterday.....little did I know how approriate that was for the world we live in.....with the news (admittedly a few days old) that a UK-registered charity has awarded Harry and Meghan a ?500 prize for the 'enlightened' decision to only have two children for environmental reasons.


Yes you read that the correct way around, a charity has given Meghan and Harry a Monetary award....


Think of all those poor 'unenlightened' families around the globe that have more than 2 kids....the fools...if only they could be more like the Sussexes


One has to chuckle.

I have green eyes, my husband has blue eyes. My family all have brown eyes (except my father, who also has green eyes). When my son was born, I wondered which eye colour would eventually develop. It turns out he has green eyes. I thought maybe he would get brown eyes since genetically that is dominant, and there is some brown eye colour in my husband?s family too. Green is recessive, so I wasn?t expecting my green to be carried over. I don?t know if anybody from my family asked me about eye colour before, but having learnt about eye colour genetics at school (the classic blue/brown example) I?ve always found it quite interesting so I did ask myself what his eye colour would be.


Now, my husband?s family have mainly blue eyes, but like I said above, there is some brown eyes. One of his nephews has brown eyes, but neither of his parents has brown eyes, so I find that interesting. Clearly there is a brown eye gene somewhere in the family (and it is not the milkman because the boy looks just like his father).


My brother has 3 boys, all with very dark brown eyes, and any trace of my father?s green eyes has not been passed on that way. Although it will be interesting to see if any of their children come out with green eyes. My grandfather did have blue eyes, so who knows, maybe the blue will come out in their branch after the 4th generation or the brown will prevail?


Have I made my point or shall I go on for a bit longer? Now, my cousins?..

never mind the news being a few days old Cat, this thread has been dead for months. Is this news really that bothersome its' worth resurrecting with phrases like "through the looking glass"


Given the state of virus, brexit, NI, transport shortages etc etc - why is this even registering?

This seems like an unnecessarily authoritarian post Seph.


I didnt realise we had to limit our reading or dicussion to those 4 approved topics.


Whats wrong with using that phrase if it appropriate? Are there any other turns of phrase I am prohibited from using?


I thought it was an amusing/interesting/notable story, nothing more. Sometimes some light relief from debates about racism, brexit, Virus etc does us all some good.

    • Does anyone know when the next SNT meeting is? I am fed up with my son being mugged on East Dulwich Grove! 
    • The issue must be everywhere at the moment. I was visiting a friend last week in Bermondsey, think we were walking  down Linton Rd & we dodged 7 dog poos. It was disgusting. 
    • Thanks for your message — I actually took the time to look into what CityHive does before posting my original comment, and I’d encourage anyone with questions to do the same. Yes, the Companies House filings are overdue — but from what I’ve gathered, this seems likely to be an accountant or admin issue, not some sign of ill intent. A lot of small, community-based organisations face challenges keeping up with formalities, especially when they’re focused on immediate needs like food distribution. Let’s not forget CityHive is a not-for-profit, volunteer-powered CIC — not a corporate machine. As for the directors, people stepping down or being replaced is often about capacity or commitment — which is completely normal in the voluntary and community sector. New directors are sometimes appointed when others can no longer give the time. It doesn’t automatically mean bad governance — it just means people’s circumstances change. CityHive’s actual work speaks volumes. They buy most of the food they distribute — fresh produce, essential groceries, and shelf-stable items — and then deliver it to food banks, soup kitchens, and community projects across London. The food doesn’t stay with CityHive — it goes out to local food hubs, and from there, directly to people who need it most. And while yes, there may be a few paid staff handling logistics or admin, there’s a huge volunteer effort behind the scenes that often goes unseen. Regular people giving their time to drive vans, sort donations, load pallets, pack food parcels — that’s what keeps things running. And when people don’t volunteer? Those same tasks still need to be done — which means they have to be paid for. Otherwise, the whole thing grinds to a halt. As the need grows, organisations like CityHive will inevitably need more support — both in people and funding. But the bigger issue here isn’t one small CIC trying to make ends meet. The real issue is the society we live in — and a government that isn’t playing its part in eradicating poverty. If it were, organisations like CityHive, The Felix Project, City Harvest, FareShare, and the Trussell Trust wouldn’t need to exist, let alone be thriving. They thrive because the need is growing. That’s not a reflection on them — it’s a reflection on a broken system that allows people to go hungry in one of the richest cities in the world. If you're in doubt about what they’re doing, go check their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people receiving food, sharing thanks, and showing how far the impact reaches. Even Southwark Foodbank has received food from CityHive — that alone should speak volumes. So again — how does any of this harm you personally? Why spend time trying to discredit a group trying to support those who are falling through the cracks? We need more people lifting others up — not adding weight to those already carrying the load.
    • Well, this is very disappointing. Malabar Feast  has changed its menu again. The delicious fish curry with sea bass no longer exists. There is now a fish dish with raw mango, which doesn't appeal. I had dal and spinach instead, which was bland (which I suppose I could/should have predicted). One of my visitors had a "vegetable Biriani" which contained hardly any vegetables. Along with it came two extremely tiny pieces of poppadom in a large paper bag.   This was embarrassing, as I had been singing Malabar's praises and recommending we ordered from there. The other mains and the parathas were OK, but I doubt we will be ordering from there again. My granddaughters wisely opted for Yard Sale pizzas, which were fine. Has anybody else had a similar recent poor (or indeed good!)  experience at Malabar Feast?
