Hi all,


I've just got home and read the leaflet Tessa Jowell et al has just dropped through my letter box. Now, is it just me or are they missing the point. Their 'priorities' put providing more recycling bins ABOVE housing, crime, commerce. What a toothless campaign Tessa leads. Oh, but wait, she's going to 'help local shopping areas such as Lordship Lane' What, from not putting parking meters in? My hero! You, my saviour, will spare us from the madness.


No doubt I'll get other leaflets through from the others and I'll be just as scathing.


Come on! someone must be able to do better than this?

The other thing about Labour's strategy is Peter fooking Mandleson. The Labour Party have obviously - and I guess rightly, decided Gordon is an electoral disaster so he's off the radar and sooo the de facto face of governemnt, Mandleson. Firstly he's not an elected member of the Parliament which makes me uncomfortable and though I suspect he is genuinely dynamic, gets thing's going etc the Laboour party have forgeten *coughs and waves* us lot, you know the electorate who by and large MISTRUST HIM.


Still, don't get me started on the tories...at one stage some evidence of some new and diffrent thinking, then a whiff of victory and Stum, no-one saying anythting about anything in case they arse it up...and guess what, they have, Europe and on the other side Cameron's tongue ever nearer Murdoch Jnrs ring.


I think i'm going to vote for that lot no-one knows any of their policies - is David Owen still their top man?

Straight into the shredder


It's easy to drop rhetorical pamphlets in doorways - never had a candidate at my door canvassing my opinion


At least Labour did this... never heard from Tories at all


I say, bring 'em on... all colours would get an ear bashing from me

Somebody told me the Tories are actually in power in this area - is this true? Like Barry Rhode I have never heard from them - quite a few leaflets from Lib Dems, some stuff from Labour. Actual people? No.


Would vote for Green or a properly local independent - does such a candidate exist in ED/Peckham Rye?

The Lib-dem lady called and gave me a leaflet she said are you Steve T and I agreed as soon as she told me who she represented and my eyes rolled upwards in disgust.


She asked if I had anything against her party I explained it was nothing personal I was against politicians left right and centre equally.


She smiled and said thank you very much to persue some other cave dweller who had no idea what politicians were responsible for.


Had she been less amenable I would have given her a tongue lashing, but she was young, innocent, and attractive, which is the most positive thing I have said of anyone connected with politics for some years.


I could never vote for that untrustworthy slippery eel, Man D.

    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety. 
    • I see a gap in the market and a stall in North Cross Road...
    • The lack of affordable housing is down to Thatcher's promoting sale of council properties. When I was working, I had to deal with many families/older folk/ disabled folk in inferior housing. The worst ones were ex council properties purchased by their tenants  with a very high discount who then sold on for a profit. The new owners frequently rented out at exorbitant prices and failed to maintain the properties. I remember a gentleman who needed to be visited by a district nurse daily becoming very upset as he rented a room in an ex council flat and shared kitchen and bathroom with 6 other people  (it was a 3 bed flat) the landlord did not allow visitors to the flat and this gut was frightened he would be evicted if the nurse visited daily. Unfortunately, the guy was re admitted to hospital and ended up in a care home as he could not receive medical help at home.   Private developers  are not keen on providing a larger percentage of 'social housing' as it dents their profits. Also a social rent is still around £200 plus a week
