Allegedly very bad man allegedly does very bad things to young girls in and around Brixton. For years.

Had my test yesterday at 2.30 and I've just been emailed the result (negative). I'm stunned by the efficiency. The NHS is like something from the future.

Is this the first time you've interacted with the NHS?

By no means! I'm a long term patient! But I don't see how they can set up this instant emergency testing operation for everyone over 11 in Lambeth and for it to be so smooth.

I would have been but was visiting my family in Suffolk.
I recall BBC One interrupting programmes just before or after Dr Who with a newsflash about it.
Or was that a false memory syndrome recollection?

Re the Battle for Brixton video
I hadn't realised Rev Bob Nind (St Matthews Brixton) was involved - offering mediation on the night of the disturbances.

Not quite sure how it's the 'official documentary' but it appears to be around 25 years old.
Update - it's from April 2006

So this is a BBC 25th anniversary tribute as it were.Not quite sure how it's the 'official documentary' but it appears to be around 25 years old.

Alex Wheatle gets a lot of air time in this - as does Blacker Dread.
I'm intrigued by the black community leader at 38m 38s who tried to persuade the Police Commander to back off and de-escalate. He got a lot of TV at the time of the riots. Curious to know what happened to him?

I never saw Pearl's machete. Actually I don't think I ever saw any violence in Pearl's - but definitely people were barred,
Some people do get a thrill from pub violence - and for them there was The Atlantic, which had a sort of underground gay following.
The landlord of the Atlantic was a Lambeth councillor - so there was a safety net feeling in a way - even though you felt he could throw someone out through the window if necessary.
I will be interested to hear what this radio podcast says about the New Cross Fire, which was a significant catastrophe for the black community, but appears to have been accidental rather than a racist attack as assumed at the time. I''m sure GarveyLives will correct me on this if I'm mistaken.

I keep hearing very mixed reports of Mosaic, partly about how focused on returning people to employment.

Apparently it was just for today only - (I’ve just seen an update) but it was walk in for over 30s. Maybe they will do it again not sure how they advertised it.

Not quite sure why the BBC sent this programme suggestion to me Apetamin: Regulator investigating 'slim thick' drug after BBC investigation - BBC Three
It is interesting though - and relevant to Brixton market
Apetamin: Regulator investigating 'slim thick' drug after BBC investigation
Apetamin is a product sold to young women mainly - and claims to increase the size of buttocks and thighs.
It works by increasing appetite - but also contains substances which can cause liver failure.
Half way through the programme the programme makers make test purchases in Brixton Market - and get three packs of the syrup from different shops.
Niice to know that Amazon, Youtube and Instagram gave assurances that their adverts for the product will be removed.
Brixton market shops however declined to comment.
Back in the day Lambeth Trading Standards used to trawl though the market looking for bush meat.
I wonder do Lambeth Trading Standards even exist any more?

Anyone know where I can get Perlite in or around Brixton/Clapham?
Herne Hill Builder Centre is a good bet. Also the pot plant centre next to North Dulwich station is sure to have it if that's not too far for you.

How much do you want?
If you buy it in 10L bags from shops or garden centres you pay from 65p per litre in Wilkos to around 85p per litre in most places.
I've just ordered a 100L sack from Marshalls for £25 including delivery. It should keep me going for years.
If you just want a few litres, and you're around Brixton Hill, I could let you have some.
Its what you get for 45 billion and a year of practice
