Fundraising talk: History of London's transport system - in memory of Charter pupil Ruby Fuller


ECJ

Recommended Posts

26 Feb, 6-8pm, Station Hall Herne Hill. Edmund Bird (heritage advisor to Transport for London) will take us on a fascinating dive into London's history in this 50 minute talk, focussing on how London's transport shaped the growth of our capital city.


The talk is being given in memory of 18 year old Ruby Fuller, a lifelong resident of Herne Hill, pupil (and head girl) at Charter North Dulwich, and a huge fan of the London Underground. Ruby dreamed of working for Transport for London one day, but half way through her A levels, she became poorly and was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. She died in May 2020, a few months after her 18th birthday.


You can book to attend in person (?10) or via Zoom (?5 - live or recorded).

    • PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.
    • The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them. 
    • @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.      
    • Right.  Already too many people saying “labour pushed for longer and more stringent lockdowns” which if nothing else, does seem to give credence the notion that yes people can be brainwashed    Nothing ...  Nothing Labour pushed for was about longer lockdowns.  Explicitly, and very clearly they said “lock down early OR we will be locking down for longer “   ie they were trying to prevent the longer lockdowns we had   But “positive thinking” and “nothing to see here” from Johnson led to bigger problems    as for the hand-wavery about the economic inheritance and markets being spooked by labour budget - look - things did get really really and under last government and they tried to hide it.  So when someone tries to address it, no one is going to be happy.  But pretending all was tickety boo is a child’s response
