I was out of London, but thank goodness the insanity of cancelling everything didn't spread to this local event - hope everyone had lots of fun and raised a glass to the paedo enabler herself.
I never give the police the benefit of the doubt any more (I used to). Unfortunately it's become clear they're a lying, sexist, racist criminal gang who only ever turn out in numbers when there's a protest going on. Completely useless for any real c…

Film report of the protest in this follow-up article plus some new revelations that this may have been part of a planned McDonald's strategy to tear down trees and vegetation across the UK to improve …
Chaos this afternoon, with all roads closed and hundreds of police seemingly intent on provocation.
Police I spoke to were blaming promoters.

Nearly 100 local people turned out for the meeting at St Aiden's last night. Lots of great ideas and solutions thrown at Cabinet Member for Climate Action Mike Hakata. He's gone away with a lot to think about, and Catherine West also promised to loo…
It's the insurance companies yes (two of them), but the council is also playing dirty games with the campaigners and residents.
One of the homeowners has been fighting their insurance company for years, and the matter is due to go to the ombudsman …
The Council (Cllr Mike Hakata) have just written to campainers warning them that this "public meeting" will be chaired by the council to explain their position and answer questions but will not allow the public to hear any presentation from the camp…
Nice people, good coffee, and lots of vegan cakes. But they face competition with their higher end pricing, and it's not particularly vegan-friendly to charge such a premium for plant-based milk. Looks empty a lot of the time, so I fear they'll not …
Thanks for the explanation @Sulker
How utterly depressing though.
Climate and ecological emergency? What climate and ecological emergency.
Is there anything can be done to hold these vandals to account?
I don't know for sure if this is one of them, but more than 50 north London GPs have already effectively been privatised by being taken over by Centene (giant American insurance corporation), so I imagine your concerns might have grounds.
The whol…
Ah yes, it's just past Tesco - basically a rebrand of the Mexicali, and they were still serving Mexican food but I guess are trying to pull in more daytime custom with the french name and coffee and cakes. Had a coffee there around Xmas week - was O…
Have you a name for this place?
Brick and Olive has been there a couple of years. Can't think of any others near Post Office - the only new thing is Salik's but that's a Pakistani curry takeaway mostly.
I happened across this short analysis published in Private Eye about one of the issues of private car ownership that multiplies the environmental effect. Thought it made a lot of sense. https://twitter.com/ShivajiShivaLaw/status/1479938990451081217
@Luirette I suspect you are right!
My point about cabs was not quite the same as Arkady's though. I'm not suggesting Ubers, for all the reasons you state - I do mean a specialist service for disadvanataged people.
My original point is still my mai…
@Luirette I believe private cars in the city should be phased out as quickly as possible except for people who genuinely need them. This would take pressure off roads to allow people in similar circumstances to yours to get around freely. Sorry I as…
I'm still here, ready to moan about the state of the world
Happy New Year to those remaining. Yes, it's been well quiet. A real shame. I'll try to recruit some new blood.
Interesting that @CrouchEnder123's very first post on this friendly forum - they joined just this morning - chose to be quite rude - and then disappeared.
