So why when Ed said his new phone camera was good you said this in post 401
Then in post 404 you say this:
So which is it ? You don't care or your going to criticize the Ed for his make of phone?

There was some great poetry this afternoon in the Pound cafe - two young people giving a free reading. Cheered up my day no end.

FWIW I thought friendofdorothy was having a giggle with the first post, that's the sort of thing people say to someone who's showing off about their new gadget, I said it down the park to some guy who was going large on the pleasures of flying a drone, the second post was just dismissive of tech and gadgets in general, can't see why peeps are getting their knickers in a twist tbh

Then ignore it rather than posting up snidey comments that I'm making money from posting up photos here. That really fucking pissed me off.

Taking a pop at the Ed is a sport on Brixton forum and I don't like it.

The point of the post was the late night photo of the Albert which you've ignored completely. I mentioned the make of the phone because people sometimes ask about how such shots were taken (and this one has exceptional low light qualities).
You'll also note that I have posted up loads of other photos in this very thread without mentioning the make. If you're not interested in the photos or how I took them, why bother having a dig? I don't do it on posts of yours that hold no interest to me.

Fair enough, maybe I don't look at the boards enough but I never had friendofdorothy down as disruptive or one of the 'usual suspects' when it comes to baiting the editor.
And it was a cracking low light photo

Not sure who he is but he's got several Youtube clips.
This one at 1h 32m may be the most comprehensive
Apparently its not the winning that's important - its the making of the point, see European Elections: Nine Climate Emergency Candidates That Want to Shake Up The Political System
That said, until you asked the question I'd never thought about it. Zero TV coverage, at least on Sky and BBC/ITV.
In conformity with the Electoral Commission rules they were just "Independent" as they hadn't set up a party,, and therefore didn't even get any publicity from a party logo on the ballot paper.

What's wrong with the Green party? Why aren't XR leaders like Hallam urging people to vote Green party?
I've watched some of Hallam explaining XR strategy a while back when I was up taking photos of Oxford Circus and Waterloo. I distinguish between the XR leaders like Hallam and the troops on the ground.
Hallam isn't interested in democracy. He wants to go "beyond politics". Use mass civil disobedience to create a situation where elected government can't function. Make state call state of emergency. As politicians can't be trusted as they may be swayed by voters/ corporate pressure replace them with a Peoples Assembly.
This will be composed of citizens in similar way to jury service. By lot. So not elected or accountable to anyone vote wise.
The state of emergency will use state to enforce measures for zero carbon by 2025.
The people's assembly remit will be to look at policies to get the zero carbon deadline. The People's assembly won't be allowed to change the state of emergency. So in practice its got limited powers.
This all adds up to potentially dictatorial system.
Hallam may be realistic. This is the only way to do it to save the planet.

Lambeth have reported turnout at 42, up 8 from 2019.
I had a couple of Proxies yesterday alongside my own vote, so voted on way to work. Of the three booths it was busiest in Tulse Hill, Kennington and lastly Waterloo Oasis.
Also, this was first time I'd done proxies. Tool about 5 minutes each time to sort out.

XR view is that human made climate change is also leading to extinction of other animals.
Climate change will affect in adverse way most living beings on the planet.
I wouldn't say XR are just about the human race.
Which I would say is point in their favour.

I appended the Buzz story to Lambeth's self-congratulatory tweet about its RIBA prize, and copied in the two relevant Councillors. I wonder if there will be a response
