Re: Daniel Morgan Murder

The family solicitor read out a statement including that if any redactions were made by the HO to the independent report, the family should be given the right to read such redacted parts and called on the HO to comply with their request/expectation. It's good that we can infer from reporting that th...

Re: Covid Vaccination- Sydenham Green Group Practice

I went to the Green for my first Pfizer jab last week. There was a wheelchair outside (it wasn't raining) so once an unsteady person gets there, they will make provision, including someone escorting you in either to a chair or directly in for a jab. I'd suggest that any unsteady person notifies a ma...

Re: Lewisham planning 400 flats for Sydenham Road

The flaw in the reasoning is, to me, that ground floor shops are often one frontage room and a tiny back room plus maybe a basement. A translation of that is: lose a shop, gain a bedsit, which will barely make a dent in the housing need even if the whole high street were converted. If a huge swathe ...

Re: International Woman's Day: Green Ladies

Good to see that money has been well spent for a whole day before presumably reverting to the international matchstick man "walk" symbol. Or maybe the pedestrian lights changed were funded by private sources in which case it's up to them how their money is put to, er, good use.

Re: Anybody clap last night?

No-one here clapped if a deafening silence is anything to go by. I was wholly on board with clapping for the NHS, being previously unsung heroes who were suddenly faced with a 24/7 onslaught including being poorly equipped and an unenviable degree of anguish to cope with. Plus all other brave front ...

Re: Moving house.

A tricky one since it's a crime to leave one's house unless for a legally permitted reason, which doesn't include staying somewhere else for a while. However, you can form a support bubble with someone in a different area: See "Can I still visit older loved ones?" https://www.ageuk.org.uk/...

Re: how to get out of this mess

...[clip]... As ever, complex problems tend to evade simple solutions. I would certainly agree that some solutions, or should I say future steps to remedy the damage in several significant areas, would be simpler if there were to be money behind them. However, that would need somebody, I dunno, our...

Re: how to get out of this mess

Maybe the government is indeed focusing on post-Covid but they only want to let us in on knowing that they're doing, "The right thing at the right time"? (A dubious claim even without hindsight often.) A problem is that government ministers seem to think that loftily making an announcement...

Re: Good order and discipline

JGD the playbook for debate works less well if alternatives aren't offered, only disagreement is. However, it is for politicians to determine strategy. If something is a matter of opinion for debate rather than factual info, then back to whether or not it should be in the Town Hall. I'm sure more wr...

Robin Orton, I would have thought that under STF rules (being about Sydenham not national, for the Town Hall) the "How to get out of this mess" thread should have been moved immediately to The Pub. It's not too late to do that as the emphasis still seems to remain on persuading against one...

Re: how to get out of this mess

One aspect that worries me is continuance of supply, which is outside the control of the government as only the distribution/allocation of supply is within its control. It is remarkable that first doses are being so rapidly administered, but what confidence is there that second doses will be availab...

Re: FREE - Cream Leather Sofa and Chairs

Good to hear. Care to say which church charity it was?

Re: How will this lockdown affect us?

Another, this time relatively brief, lockdown is unlikely to make much difference in covid terms unless there's a radical change by the government re other steps that could help get on top of it. I know no-one who thinks otherwise. As Parker1970 says, many of us never really came out of lockdown apa...
