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 wondering if I can justify a visit due to calories burned walking there and back😜
    • Oooh! Hot chocolate! Thank goodness it isn't nearer! I'd have doubled my weight in a month 😄
    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
