Hackney chitter-chatter &tc

We had a lot of leaflets from the Labour party in Springfield and some young people from the party actually came round which they don't usually do.
 
Only people I got anything from were Labour (which was surprising as they don't usually bother). I have had Green stuff in the past but guess they were focusing their efforts on the neighbouring, more winnable wards.

Need to vote more early and more often next time or something :).
This is Haringey, not Tower Hamlets
 
It looks like both wards now have one Green and one Labour.

Greens have been very active in my ward in Haringey, whereas Labour simply put out one last minute flyer which appears to be created by the constituency party, rather than ward specific, with the candidates' names and photos C&Ped in.

I also voted Green as an anti-Labour thing, but it wasn't quite enough to cause an upset.
St Annes was neck on neck Green / Labour
 
Absolutely. Also makes you wonder what else they've got away with elsewhere .
Very hard to get a mortgage on a high-rise flat even before Grenfell, I guess there've been all sorts of nasties coming to the surface as these places get older even from just a growing older/decay point of view let alone profit shortcuts. But the sheer enormity of Grenfell and what they are still getting away with even now takes your breath away.
 
Have you lot got your £150 from the council? Got a letter about it this morning but haven't checked my bank account yet.
I have had my £150 from the Council in my bank account.

Weirdly the pointless "remittance advice" letter was addressed to my partner who has a completely different name from me. A cynical person might give them a call and ask where the money is I guess...

The remittance letters were weird. Mine was some strange approximation of my name and my neighbours' were addressed to Mr Firstname and Firstname respectively...

I like that it manages to be pointless (just email me?) expensive (on that scale) and wrong.
 
Can you watch that easily online? I don't have TV and therefore not a licence so I can't watch the iPlayer now.

I've seen the part about the bombs dropped in Nevill Road in WW1 (which I did know about) as someone posted it on FB.

Yeah if you just click the My5 link I think?

You have to click the “I am over 16” button, blossie33 ;)
