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 recently used Peter Vasco for a full kitchen, bathroom refit, and couldn’t be happier with the result and wall knock through. From start to finish he was professional, reliable, and really easy to work with. Communication was clear throughout, they turned up when they said they would, and kept everything tidy as they went. The quality of the workmanship is brilliant, all the pipework is neat, the fittings are solid, and everything was completed to a high standard. They also gave helpful advice along the way and solved a few unexpected issues without any fuss.
    • We are seeing the visible return of the Old Boy Network which Johnson and Cameron before him are part of, they looked after the OBN's interests and were in turn protected by it despite their incompetence. And Farage. Those who are not a part of it e.g. Starmer and Reeves, even Truss (deservedly so) are thrown to the dogs. We've been so caught up with race and gender politics we've failed to see the re-emergence of the 'ruling class'. 
    • I totally disagree. If you listen to the Guardian podcast, which speaks with the reporter and one of those on the receiving end of Farage’s abuse, it is very balanced and credible. It is also notable that we have a letter written in 1981 by an English teacher at DC, begging the head teacher not to allow farage to become a school prefect due to his ‘fascist tendencies’. That is contemporaneous evidence of his racism at the time.
    • There used to be a computer repair place in Bassano Street is it still there> Anyone know of a computer tech person who will come to house to repair/update PCs? I was recommended someone from EDF many years ago who came and installed all the programmes on my new PC.
