Does anyone know if the knitting group still meets at the Effra Social on Wednesday's? Or, is there any kind person on here who can crochet who would be willing to help me with my single and double stitch in return for food/beer/remuneration of choice?

Someone might be interested in this interview with Neil Kenlock filmed by RT at BCA. editor already put up some pics here a while back.

Neil Kenlock has an exhibition of photographs documenting Afro Caribbean life in the area in the 1970s and 80s I think.

The exhibition ends on 28th September - but might be an idea to check with BCA before visiting. I went there 2 weeks ago with a friend and we were told some of the work was inaccessible due to a conference in some of the rooms.
 
I went to the Nope to Hope exhibition. Meant to end today but looks like will stay open for another week.

Exhibition of radical political artwork. At Brixton Rec

Must have missed you Gramsci!

It's a great exhibition. Good to see it open for another week.

It's dreadful isn't it? Although apparently it's the only place for miles around that has any kind of funding to help the homeless and so other places basically kick their homeless populations into SF.
Seattle was just as bad if not worse. Significant problems in Portland and Vancouver as well. I was pretty shocked to see one man who must have been in his nineties living on the street in Vancouver, which does at least have a proper welfare system afaik.

There is a consultation being launched by TFL into central London bus services.
Routes affected include 3, 35, 45, 40, 59 and issues include reduction of frequency and curtailment of routes.

(Just in case anyone is bored and enjoys responding to this sort of thing)
They have somehow managed to write that explanation of why they are doing what they are doing, without mentioning Uber or the problems with TfL's budget.
 
Brixton's Brother Culture has been arrested in Mexico without charge. Not sure what the 'unsavoury location' means....



 
Solomon Smith from Brixton Soup Kitchen is on BBC News right now - talking about a charity fundraising scam.
