I see Plan B is being reopened as Phonox. http://phonox.co.uk
They have a great resident, Jasper James, and a sound music policy with some so d bookings, so fair play to them. They're run by the people who run XOYO and The Nest, so they should know what they're doing. Will have to visit soon
Looks like it will be weekends only. Is that you you read it?
 
Splash has become a mini Notting Hill carnival. Who organises it? I don't really see why Lambeth should pay for the loos.
I'd suggest that it almost certainly brings in more benefits to local traders than the Brixton BID.
 
Care about the London housing crisis, and its effect on Brixton residents? Like a good music / drink / food / people?

COME TO THIS ON TUESDAY: https://www.facebook.com/events/1596735273910574/

Some Brixton residents will be busy at Lambeth Town Hall, giving Green Cllr Scott Ainslie some moral support when he calls in the Lambeth "cabinet's" rubber-stamping of the decision to bulldoze Cressingham Gardens at full council, 7-9pm that evening.

Best of luck with that - your work is greatly appreciated. BTW I suggest you contact Brixton Buzz (see the top of the page) - they'll happily add you to the listings etc. :)

Each of us work better with our own strengths, and mine lies elsewhere.
 
And it wasn't just one employee...that's made my blood boil this evening.
So, bad training and/or supervision then; if I was in management at that branch I'd be shitting myself right now.

Me too, we should synchronise watches

Hope they haven't changed the moulded concrete acoustic wall as it contributed to exemplary acoustics in there, so rare for new clubs. Also hope they stick in a system at least as good as the previous one. Also hope it won't be full of dicks, can but dream
 
Legally it doesn't get them off anything- so if they incited hatred/violence, saying 'god made me do it' won't get you off.

If Tesco fire them, and they cry god, it won't help them legally but may win them support in some parts of the community
Yeah i didn't think they could...
 
More along the lines of "in my bible it says its a sin so therefore I act like a complete tosspot to strangers" line.
 
Ruddy hell it's busy around Brixton tonight. Big queues outside the Dogstar, Market House, Prince of Wales etc....
 
Brixton tesco staff horribly homophobic toward gay couple. All over twitter.
Read about it online when you posted this. To have to think and pull yourself up before you show the person you love some emotion in public is passive aggression at its worst.

To put a positive spin on it I think what the guys experienced in Tesco is much rarer now. The way people have reacted with universal disgust is an indicator of how homophobia won't be tolerated by anybody who isn't a knuckle dragging dope.

Also a shout out for Stonewall. My wife has worked with them in the past and they are brilliant.
 
Lambeth MPS twitter feed is reporting there was a fatal shooting in Flaxman Rd last night.
After the incident in Stockwell the night before, I really, really hope this isn't a return to gang turf fights :(

What happened on Stockwell Road? I went past this morning and saw a section of pavement taped off and police standing guard.
