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 am no expert, but are your photos not saved in Google or similar, as well as being on your physical  phone? If so, you should just be able to access them on your new phone without actually having to move them over? Same with emails, normally, you just have to sign into your email account on your new phone to access them? Not sure re contacts, but I don't recall having any problems when getting a new phone. And apps you can just reinstall. Google or something like ChatGPT could probably "talk" you through sorting, deleting and editing photos and emails, if you can't find someone to help (sorry I can't, I'd be too worried about doing something wrong!) Good luck! Don't delete anything from your old phone until you are sure it's on your new phone!
    • Do you have a link to this? The only one i could find was on the 24th July
    • Yes and I heard the other day that there is a higher conviction rate with trials heard by only a judge, vs juries, which makes sense when you think about it.  Also - call me cynical - I can't help but think that this justice reform story was thrown out to overshadow the Reeves / OBR / Budget story.  But I do agree with scrapping juries for fraud cases. 
    • judges are, by definition, a much narrower strata of society. The temptation to "rattle through" numbers, regardless of right, wrong or justice is fundamentally changed If we trust judges that much, why have we ever bothered with juries in the first place? (that's a rhetorical question btw - there is no sane answer which goes along the lines of "good point, judges only FTW"
