It's good that Clarkshaws are getting some of the tourist trade. They are authentic Brixton in my view.

Problem is at every recent election they get voted back in. Its imo worse now that they have done so well at last election. They have some justification in this. Im not going to vote Labour in Lambeth whilst this right wing section of Labour party control Lambeth.
Any questioning of what they do , even if its valid questions , is met with hostility.
Basic view appears to be they are trying their best and residents should understand that. Councils are under pressure due to state of economy and cuts.
Senior officers and senior officers can basically get on and do what they want. As they now feel they have a mandate.
The ending of the Corbyn interlude and replacement with Starmer also has given a boost in confidence to the ruling group. As they regard their model of development as the way forward.
Its not that all officers or projects are bad. I was trying to suggest that officers are more clear about difference between social projects and more commercial projects at a meeting recently. As mixing them people see this as gentrification. To be told by a Cllr that it was only a few individuals complaining about gentrification. Not listening at all. When what I thought I was doing was giving Council some credit for a good project.
Its all or nothing with Lambeth. Either you sit there at meetings and tell them what a great job they are doing or your treated as a moaner.

Are any Urbanites likely to be in the 'Albert' this Saturday night (03/09/2022)? I would love to meet some of you, and will be in London for a few days.
I'm assuming it is the Prince Albert, not far from Brixton tube station.

It is the Prince Albert on Coldharbour Lane.

I think it is. Can remember "complaints" from disappointed Academy party-goers forced to slum it in the Beehive.

Don't have a clue. Could barely remember my name let alone what beers where for sale. Had been at carnival all day so grateful they closed early.

Nice to hear of someone getting a proper skinful. It's very out of fashion these days. Everyone in Windrush Square seems to be on crack. Which I suppose is much cheaper than booze.

strictly off the record
Oh yes, they seem to have returned in numbers this time! The other day (not night!) there were groups in three doorways and the Ritzy alcoves on Rushcroft Road. It's an extremely worrying development.

The numbers are huge. And the effects look shattering. Just collapsing in the street or the square. Sometimes six on the library steps, another six on the war memorial, ten in Rushcroft Road. What happens to them all? Do they die?

Does anyone know why they don’t use Stockwell? Are they scared?

Scared of what?
Variety, seen and being seen by a different lot of people, it’s fun to do your thing in amongst the moving public, different surfaces, wide spaces to practice a new move.... lots of reasons.

It was fun. Good vibe. Lots of youngsters. Most couldn't get cinema tickets so they had a bit of a party in the square. The percentage of people comatose on crack dropped significantly.

Is. nu Brixton really ..................................vibrant?
Just received a secondhand book from Nevada on the British secondary banking crisis 1973-75.
Previous owner was Lewis & Clark College - Portland, Oregon.
I'm afraid Brixton doesn't even come close on the vibrancy league compared to this lot:
"Celebration, destygmatisation, hope"
"Supportive, Liberal, Diverse"

Someone somewhere has pointed out that a person "passing" and the intransitive verb "to pass" is NOT English English - it is American English. The correct useage would be "pass on" "gone to meet their maker" etc.
