What fun we had, we were off our tits on sugar, running free along the roads we own, then we got splashed with tap water but someone said don't worry, so we didn't and then we carried on being free and then we went dizzy and mummy and daddy were drinking and counting their capital gains.
They told us not to play with those people so we didn't.
We didn't see the thirsty people.

You fucking saw us ok.
You always see us.
 
We opened it all. Blacks were running free.
We were told they were claiming it all.
Even in the 70's.
We had to gentrify them.
We had to learn and fight.
Black & white.
Unite & vote Tory and then kill yourself.
 
Mr Dexter, I don't quite understand what you mean, though I appreciate your acid poetry. I guess you may have been also at the Leander street party? If so, I'm sorry I didn't recognise you to say hello - I arrived alone and looked for other Urbs...

My point is - what a wonderful party Leanderman put on! It was like a real proper mini-festie without having to traipse to *Glasto* or whatever - brilliant music, brilliant dancing, strangers smiling at each other, the kiddies running riot in total safety where we all looked out for others' kids.. a genuinely ace day. Reminds me why I do love Brixton. Thanks so much Leanderman, you made several hundred people very happy today. It really was great.

It's a fair point for that class of person.
I have never touched a Class A drug.
I come from another class.
When we close the streets we get arrested.

I certainly don't want to get into any kind of argument with you, but I'm not sure what 'that class of person' means? I don't think you know me - or if you were referring to me? There seemed to be plenty of people of all ages, colours and classes at the street party. And I don't take class A drugs either, nor did I see evidence of that. Anyway - peace.
 
A social enterprise is offering a £10 walking tour of Brixton with a homeless guide.
Immediate release on 6 July 2015Award-winning tours with homeless guides return to Brixton and London Bridge

Unseen Tours, the social enterprise that offers alternative London walking tours with homeless and formerly homeless guides, has relaunched its Brixton tour after an 18-month break from the area. It also plans to introduce a new London Bridge itinerary this summer.

The revamped Brixton Tour - Dynamic and Vibrant (£10, 1 hour 45 min) uncovers the area's hidden gems, from the river to a restored windmill, and a prison that has been home to more than a few famous names. Led by Hazel, a local lady who became homeless after her marriage ended, the tour explores Brixton's varied history from the riots of the 1980s to its reinvention as a Transition Town with its own currency, the Brixton Pound.

Faye Shields, co-founder of Unseen Tours, says: "We're delighted to be back in Brixton, offering people a really alternative way of seeing the area alongside a guide who knows the streets only too well. Just like all our other Unseen Tours, £6 from every ticket sold goes straight to the guide, so you can be sure that as well as getting a unique insight into one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods, you're supporting your guide to work their way towards a better future." ..

Unseen Tours aims to provide income and opportunities for the homeless, and for formerly homeless individuals trying to get back on their feet, but it also aims to challenge perceptions of homelessness, which are often based on stereotypes. "Homelessness can happen to anyone, for all sorts of reasons such as redundancy, relationship breakdown, or illness," says Shields. "Our hope is that by spending time with Hazel, David or another Unseen Tour guide, people may rethink those stereotypes."

The Labour candidates to be London Assembly Member for Lambeth and Southwark (after Valerie Shawcross said she would stand down at the next election) are gradually revealing themselves - current Lambeth cabinet member Florence Nosegbe is the latest to declare herself complete with website http://www.florencenosegbe.com/ with enlightening "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua..." sections for key policy areas - always interesting to know

Apparently Matthew Bennett is also interested http://insidecroydon.com/2015/05/22/is-it-jobs-for-the-boys-as-shawcross-stands-down-at-city-hall/ - another job to add to his current three

I thought Florence got married last year and had been using her married name?

I thought that it was to be an all female list? Can't find anything to support this though.

Jacko and the boys will be upset :p
 
I went down to the street party but much later than I hoped. I couldn't identify any Urbs which was a shame. We need badges!
