Dec 23rd. Christmas Lights. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/christmas-lights-southwark-cyclists-ride-tickets-1110153311439 > After last year, we swore never to repeat this ride. However, by popular demand… 4.00 pm start. London Bridge, south side, next to Southwark Gateway Needle, Bruce leading, Werner assisting. Hope to be back by 6.30 pm. Ride will be in 3 sections. A steady ride along south side of river then crossing Waterloo Bridge. Next the main event, a complex circuit of Covent Garden area and the West End including the obvious suspects – Oxford, Regents and Bond Streets – plus a few less well-known. The central streets will be VERY CROWDED with pedestrians and motor traffic including large Tour Buses. Maintaining cohesion in the group may at times be difficult. As well as bike lights, please also decorate your bike. A festive light on the helmet is a great way to remain visible in a crowd. Make sure your phone is charged up and you must give a phone number on registration. Father Christmas suits are allowed. Final part of the ride will be the short homeward run along the Embankment Cycleway. Join us if you can. 2023 Route: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1mTn-a_ineSWxAHn-flMwGsIJsmQT-cc&usp=sharing and ride report at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2023/ride-report-23-dec-2023/

  Unfortunately there are two ways of examining this, if we even had the figures. The first is simply to look at the revenues paid to the Council and see if the costs (in terms of setting it up and recovery from it, including administrative cost) are less than the revenues. This would be quite simple to do assuming we could agree the proper allocation of those costs. But additionally we have the amenity cost to those Southwark residents either (a) losing amenity value through e.g. disruption, and secondly losing amenity value by being excluded from parts of a public park for an extended period in summer. That is not a fiscal cost to the council and clearly they don't give a damn, but that would be the only way of judging whether this event was of overall net benefit to Southwark residents, the only people who the council should be 'working' for. Don't hold your breaths.

- Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

  Dulwich College had the "luck" of those allegations landing right in the middle of COVID when the media and everyone else was a bit distracted. And then to make double sure the discontent was suppressed, it threatened kids who wanted to demonstrate with police action. The kids at the time said: "Dulwich College has for years totally ignored, dismissed and condoned by turning a blind eye, this predatory behaviour by students... A protest was students’ only way to pressure the headmaster to actually tackle the sexual violence at his school.” The march by pupils of several schools was advertised on social media as “a demonstration against the predatory culture of Dulwich College and the school management [which] condones it". https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
