I thought the Black Power programme on BBC Two just now was well put together. I thought Farrukh Dhondy;s description of Darcus Howe as a loose cannon was spot on.
The funny thing about these BBC documentaries is how incestuous they get. Much of the material on Michael X has already been shown recently on the Adam Curtis BBC iplayer megathon called I can't get you out of my head.
I have one major criticism - the narrator used this ghastly yoof-speak glotteral stop type lingo which made me pine for rp.
I was horrified to see in the credits that the narrator was super-star Daniel Kaluuya - which proves he was, as a star actor, putting the accent on for effect.

While I admit I know nothing about childcare, that petition puts forward so many clear and well explained justifications to keep it open, backed up with figures, its hard to understand why Lambeth aren't renewing the lease - seems a crazy decision.

Apparently there's some sort of internal dispute going on, with the nursery being caught in the crossfire.

I put in objection to a new premises licensing application recently. Couple of days ago got a phone call from the applicant. I asked where he got my number from. He said the Lambeth website. He assumed I worked for Lambeth Council and wanted to know how his application was going.
I checked Lambeth website and all my details address etc were put up under the application for all to see.
I checked my objections. It clearly said neighbour objection. Ie local resident.
I tried to call Lambeth licensing but got put on hold.
Emailed copying in my local Cllrs. No reply yet.
One of my local Cllrs replied and put in members enquiry.
I've taken screenshot of the Web page.
Imo if one is commenting on planning or licensing ones details should only be seen by Council. Not general public.

I emailed Lambeth licensing requesting they remove my personal data and that this was breach of my privacy.
No answer yet. Despite my local Cllr request a reply. They told my local Cllr about a week for full answer.
I really despair at how Lambeth bureaucracy works sometimes.
All my address and phone number is still up on website.

brixtonscot drew this article to my attention. Some quite traditional Brixton in there.
Sticking it here just now as the article seems to fall between headings.

‘This is radical love’ – the history of black queer Britain in pictures

The twat with the anti-vaccine soundsystem paid a visit to Windrush Square just now. He plays just the one track on repeat. It goes "brothers, sisters, don't take the vaccine". On and on and on. Sometimes he sings along on a microphone. But he was arguably less excruciating than the stupid fucker with a megaphone outside the Ritzy, going on and on about Jeremiah. No peace in the Square today.
What if I were to wreck the anti-vaxxer's speaker with water, on the grounds that he is causing death?

Test and Trace Support Payment and the Lambeth Stay Home Support Payment
You could get a support payment to make up for lost earnings or potential work if you need to stay at home due to Covid-19. You might be able to get a payment of at least 80% of your earnings if you have to self-isolate because of Covid-19 or care for children or dependents who have to stay...

Casaubon How did you manage to get this money refunded? I've been fighting Lambeth council for coming up to a year now. I keep getting fobbed off with the office is closed. So they can't do it. I've got £1000 sitting in my rent account I could use right now.

I live on the Blenheim Gdns estate, and claiming the money back was surprisingly easy. Our estate manager, Danny Howcroft, collated all the claims and took up the matter on our behalf.
I submitted a claim form and without further chasing I received the money a couple of months later. Having Danny fighting our case probably helped enormously – he’s a really good manager, and doesn’t take any crap from Lambeth.
Lambeth then launched a legal challenge, and suspended payment of any refunds. From what I can tell, their legal challenge is just a cynical attempt at avoiding admission of guilt and delaying refunds. I suspect that the problem is much bigger than they’ve so far admitted.
As far as I know the matter’s still unresolved, and payments still suspended, but I’m not really sure.
Good luck.

Thanks. I emailed the person dealing with it. He just called me. Asked me to resend the claim form. I asked how long it would take and he said we'll deal with it in a week or two. So fingers crossed I might get it this time.

I was sent the claim form from Lambeth council in the post.
And I'm returning it to my estate housing office by email.

The form is just a rent refund request form. Doesn't have a name or number. I've added a screenshot of the top of mine.
And on the website, the link is under "Useful links" on the left of the page.
