from pipe's article
i had a look at this exciting new work experience scheme recently, which seemed to be more about placing hackney youth as shop assistants or bartenders in hipster joints.

So it actually places more than one hundred 16 and 17 year olds in a position to serve drinks to people who work for exciting businesses, including digital, creative and media?

http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/council_calls_the_bailiffs_on_hackney_s_poorest_1_3738605 - nearly 2,000 people in the borough have had the bailiffs set on them by the council in the year ending April 2014.

the cost of taking them to court and applying for bailiffs is probably more than the council tax owed - :facepalm: they probably add fees to the council tax , which they will never get back and in all likelihood will be written off eventually

Well that's an excellent question, Marty.

On the one hand this was ostensibly put up because the Haredi were having a parade.

On the other, it's a product of the insane religious patriarchal nonsense that they seem to hold dear to their heart.

Punk Syndrome is a great film!
 
I got texted by a friend who told me she was on her way to the Middlesex Filter Beds as a rare (for the area) bird had been spotted there, a nightjar. We headed down there and it was exciting (if you are a birder) stayed for about an hour , as we were leaving , more birders were turning up. Which was frustrating for the teenagers on a bench nearby who thought they had found a quiet spot :D

A month-long winter festival is coming to Victoria Park
Sep 30 2014 | EVENTS

What is Winterville? Think of an East London version of the traditional Christmas festival – but with gigs, club nights and, obviously, street food and craft beer.

So mixed in among the outdoor ice rink, giant Ferris wheel and horse-drawn carriages you’ll find Bugged Out taking over the roller disco and Voodoo Ray’s serving up pizza slices.

A whole winter-themed town is going to be created in Victoria Park throughout December with attractions including a spiegeltent, fairground, roller disco, wall of death and, crucially, a pub.

Sunday at Chats Palace - radical 1970s feminist photography collective The Hackney Flashers...

HACKNEY FLASHERS EXPOSED:
40th Anniversary of a Women’s Photographic Collective, 1974-1980

Sunday 12th October 2014, 2-5pm
Chats Palace, 42-44 Brooksby’s Walk, London E9 6DF

The Hackney Flashers Collective was active as a feminist agitprop group in London 1974 -1980. The group produced two photographic/graphic exhibitions addressing complex ideas about women’s lives as workers and as mothers, inside and outside the home: Women and Work and Who’s Holding the Baby.

To mark the recent launch of the Hackney Flashers website the group are calling a meeting of the generations: how did they work as a collective in the 1970s? How is the struggle for the most basic of women’s rights being carried on now, forty years later? A rare chance to see some of the exhibition panels from the time and to discuss work still to be done. Free and open to all. Should be exciting!



The event is part of the East London photography festival Photomonth and will take place at Chats Palace Community Arts Center, a venue which has a history of radical community arts involvement.
 
SAT 22 Nov • World Premiere
ESTATE, A REVERIE (12A) 2.30

(UK 2014) dir. Andrea Luka Zimmerman 83m.

"Knowing the previous work of its creators, I believe this project will achieve something very significant for the times we are living in. It will remind us – and how appropriate this is for the medium of film – that, both politically and humanly, the past is not behind us, not obsolescent, but beside us and urgent." (John Berger)

ESTATE, A REVERIE tracks the passing of the Haggerston Estate (1938-2014) in Hackney and the utopian promise of social housing it offered, with an unruly celebration of extraordinary everyday humanity.

Filmed over seven years, ESTATE, A REVERIE seeks to reveal and celebrate the resilience of residents who are profoundly overlooked by media representations and wider social responses. Interweaving intimate portraits with the residents' own historical re-enactments and dramatised scenes, the film asks how we might resist being framed exclusively through class, gender, ability or disability, and through geography even…

+ post-screening discussion & opening set from singer-songwriter Olivia Chaney & short introduction by Ken Worpole
