An Evening with Ken Loach at Peckham Plex, 16 April

Acclaimed film director Ken Loach will be looking at extracts of his work over the past 50 years and discussing the political and artistic ideas that have influenced it. From Cathy Come Home (1966) to his latest film Jimmy's Hall (2014), Ken Loach has been a pioneer of socially engaging cinema, not afraid to put his political arguments at the heart of his films, as in Land and Freedom (1995). Throughout his career Ken has remained true to his radical political ideas, depicting working-class life and struggle as it really is. There will be extracts from the rarely seen (because banned) Questions of Leadership (1983) and other films to illustrate his work - his art and politics. There will be plenty of time for discussion.


Ken's last visit to the PeckhamPlex for a screening of The Save the Children Fund Film and Q & A was a sell-out, so book early.


The event is a fund-raiser for the election campaign of Nick Wrack, the socialist candidate at the General Election for Camberwell and Peckham. Nick is a joint candidate for Left Unity and the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC).


Please pay the solidarity price if you can.


Promoted by Soraya Lawrence, on behalf of Nick Wrack, both of 82 Talfourd Road, London SE15 5NZ.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
