If the headline bothers you, Contact Southwark Newsas it’s their headline. Would it be better if it said East Dulwich borders instead of Peckham?

What are you talking about Peckham Vandals? 
 

Sounds more like your local animal liberation front

Agreed - the ratboxes are not the main problem. This is the woman who led the replanting, quoted by Southwark News:


“Predicting it will take three years to regrow the garden, Nancy said: “I am sick about what’s happened in the American Garden.”

Nancy believes the plants were worth between £10,000 and £15,000 but even more concerning is whether the garden will flourish come summer.

She said: “Will they survive? I don’t know, only time will tell…. and even if some of them do, it will take another three years for them to gain the growth they had.”

This seems to be a complete non-story. We asked several of the park staff today - nobody had heard of any recent vandalism. The American Garden looks pretty much unchanged. So much for reliable journalism. Memo to self: never repeat a newspaper story before you've checked it.

I'm in the park daily and walk past the American garden.  To me it looks like all gardens do coming out of winter,  the perennial plants have all died back and hopefully will bloom again come spring/summer.  The evergreen rhododendrons are all there, waiting to bloom in May. So I'm not sure what Southwark News is on about,  perhaps they needed to fill space with a non story?! Or they were in a completely different park!

    • I remember halfpennies. Farthings had gone by my time. 2/6 (half a crown) that looked very similar to 2s.  
    • Looks like moths have been at it!
    • "They sold everyone, directly or indirectly, on the notion that Covid, the energy crisis and the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with the sorry state of the UK and that it was 14 years of Tory rule and Truss' nightmare budget that was the source of all the country's woes. " This simply isn't true. Global issues all play their own parts (as they do with other countries) but the UK govt had  been especially abject for years. Improvements could not be made with them in power. That's not to say everything is all roses when they go To claim parties shouldn't try and sell themselves in an election is absurd - but if labour did overpromise or dig into specifics (which they partly couldn't because they didn't have their hands on the books) then we live in a country where a population and media is happy to punch on them and relect the shabby last govt I mean if any argument I made was supported by some posters I would rethink it but thats just me
