Very sad. The guy murdered seemed to be targeted for no reason and have no criminal history. The kid who stabbed him didn't even know him or any of the others. Just some bullshit about people being on their turf. Depressing as fuck.

Just finished watching this episode. Indeed very sad, and utterly pointless. Much to unpick really, but it was quite satisfying to see the detectives successfully identify and get the kid who did it locked up for 20 years.
Yep it's a good doc. Cameras and phones have made it pretty impossible to escape detection for the average crim it seems. Especially now practically every house and building has a video camera so it's not just public CCTV any more.

These documentaries need a health warning. It's so depressing.

I'm not a connoisseur of such things, or lively to be a customer, but considering the price of a pint in the Beehive is £2.78 and double elsewhere, I would have thought £1.68 per day to have a wash-board stomach was mere bagatelle?

I must ask my Somali refugee friend where he goes and how he pays. He does regularly use one in Clapham because his council flat is in Clapham North, but I'm pretty sure its not the council one. He likes to go late evening when its quiet and Clapham Manor Street gym closes by 10 pm. Maybe some of the private places have concessionary rates?

This is ongoing issue Ive had with Lambeth.
Here are some of their monthly prices for all inclusive membership ( gym and pool)
Its comparative to a mid priced gym like this.
Memberships Options - Active Lambeth
active.lambeth.gov.uk
One of the regular complaints I get it is that a publicly owned gym/pool is charging prices that are same as mid priced gym in borough.
Some private gyms are cheaper.
Lambeth does do more concessions. But the average working and not claiming benefits person in my area struggles to get by and these Lambeth prices are to much imo
Plus its a constant argument to get Lambeth to maintain the leisure services to a high standard. Despite this being a paid for service.
Lambeth set prices by looking at what private operators charge.

I can ask my friend (again). I doubt he wants classes says he goes at 10 pm because its quiet.
His stated fee does not seem to correspond with the website - maybe they have "UB40"? Gym Membership Options | Join Today

So that may be what he meant.
Active Lambeth (Brixton Rec etc) is £28.29 off peak, "from" £35.36 anytime one centre, £63.71 borough-wide.
So looks like Pure Gym may be cheaper than the Rec?
It think BRUG need to explain what's going on here!

There pages of T&Cs but its not user friendly (at least to me).
There was some reaction a while back when service went in house - but seemed to suggest in Bugle & elsewhere that prices had risen.

House of Momo capsule review:
For: You get a LOT of food for £12.95 on a thali deal (far more than I could eat, even on an empty stomach on a freezing evening) and there's the option of goat as the curry element. Vegetarian options available. Curry is good. Staff are friendly.
Against: Most of the food in ^that deal is carbs (rice, paratha, potato, chickpeas and dhal) and the spicing is a bit dull. The momos (Tibetan dumplings) are just like Chinese potstickers with a vaguely tikkalike curry dipping sauce - only without the ginger & spring onions that make the Chinese versions worth eating. Don't have them fried (very oily) unless you really need a bit more grease in your diet. The lighting inside is really dim - might be a plus or a minus depending on your point of view. Even soft drinks or tea aren't cheap.
If you want to carb-load to the extreme before or after doing some sport, or if you desperately hunger for the Himalayas, it might hit the spot but I doubt I'll be back.

March against the violence in Palestine just went by me.
Lots of school aged kids in the march - so rather more intergenerational than usual.
Speeches in Wndrush Square at 2 pm it looks like.

Liz Truss, former prime minister, claims on Fox News that people are being allowed to ‘demonstrate in favour of terrorists’These archived sources lack definition, so here are the Telegraph photos:
