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.

    • We couldn’t be happier with the work that Lukasz has done on our house. We had a long list of assorted tasks after moving in, including hanging some large mirrors and pictures, re-sealing a WC sink and a kitchen sink, fixing the front gate, repairing a broken shutter louvre, and fixing a stuck bathroom door. Lukasz handled each task expertly and everything was executed perfectly. He even did the job over 2 visits upon our request due to one of the mirrors not being delivered on time by the retailer. Lukasz has been a pleasure to deal with throughout. He was super responsive on WhatsApp, polite and respectful of our property, and left the place spotless because he brought his own hoover! He is a star, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
    • If you have what I and several people I know have / have had, it can make you feel quite blue. It’s common to feel depressed when you’re unwell. This thing takes a good couple of weeks at least before you feel back to normal, so go easy on yourself x
    • Fair enough. Perhaps I’m wrong  but the country can either have rising house prices or affordable housing. Which means falling house prices right? or is there a scenario where all of the existing housing stock rises in value while the hundreds of thousands of new, affordable  homes are somehow immune to the same market forces? How do we build enough affordable houses for our children yet insist on our own houses going up in value? Both can’t be true. Enough new housing stock has to lower existing housing prices  if  not , where am I wrong?
    • I don't really see the linkage between the two factors tbh
