Re: Paxton Court Problems

So do I. A welcome change from her predecessor. It's a pity nearly all votes go to the party - not the candidate.

The predecessor's predecessor was also a good constuency MP - from the opposite party.

Do you have an image url to insert - or are you having difficulty uploading you image to a suitable service?

Re: Images Blocked/Hacked?

AFAIR a great contributor to the forum was also a kung fu enthusiast. I presume he hosted many of his images on his site which may explain the links. Can you point to a post that isn't displaying what it should?

Re: Paxton Court Problems

The takeover of the former NatWest Hostel in Lawrie Park Road by Hackney in the 1980s brought with it an unprecedented crime wave as, presumably, they used it to house folks they didn't want in Hackney. We suffered 13 burglaries in 10 year...

Re: SE23/SE26.life are no more

I'm pleased to see the owner of SE26.life has put an archive of the site online: https://se26.life/archived.html

Archiving SE23.life will be a couple of magnitudes greater task so, I guess, we will have to be a little more patient.

Re: Labour landslide

Not just Sydenham & Forest Hill but in most wards the Greens came in second. They were only 100 or so votes short of their first seat. Still way to go but the only party who could possibly hold the Labour whip to account if LibDems & Tories are prepared to vote tactically next time. May be a...
