New Cross (and Deptford), chat and discussion

I think there was a Drake family who were large estate owners in the Brockley area. Possibly Sir Francis was part of that?

I've got a potted history of Brockley saved somewhere, going out later but can check this out if folk are interested.
 
:(

there's some similar based on catford...

And Forest Hill & Honor Oak Park...bet anything there will be 'I hope that hairdresser's becomes a nice little deli' type forums/blogs/Facebook pages all over the place!
 
I only just noticed that the Royal George Sam Smith's pub on Tanners Hill has closed. But...its not being turned into flats!

"The Royal George is a small community pub in Deptford, south east London. It has been closed since the beginning of June 2019. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic couple to breathe new life into this pub, creating a great atmosphere to draw in the local community.
There is a small beer garden, darts board and open fire.
A three bedroom flat is provided above the pub."
 
It is disappointing to see that senior managers at Goldsmiths, University of London, have admitted that its record of addressing racism is unacceptable after a damning report found 'black and minority ethnic' students feel victimised and unsafe on its campus.

The report found that:
  • while almost half (45%) of students at Goldsmiths are from minority backgrounds, some have frequently experienced both overt and indirect racism from white students and white staff and did not trust Goldsmiths to handle complaints;
  • 26% of those surveyed reported experiencing racism from students and staff, including racial abuse in lectures; and
  • additional 43% of the 195 students surveyed said they had experienced everyday racialised microaggressions.
It is sad to see such things happening within a long-standing local institution:

He’s the bloke I mentioned above. Didn’t want to post the video and invite more views though
Oh, I don't think it'll attract many views from this thread and it's worth letting people see how ridiculous these videos are.

"Finger points to sticker and waits until the camera guy catches up to zoom in"
"Show interior photos of the pub and add ominous music"

:facepalm:

He was so offended by a beautiful piece of artwork just cos it was Arabic
 
Some graffiti appeared in Lewisham recently with artwork referencing the guy carrying a fascist demonstrator and saying something along the lines of 'We don't help fascists here, we run them out of town'.

It's been painted over now I believe, but :thumbs:
 
Haven't ever reported anything on YouTube before, but worth doing that too
I think it is essential to report it in numbers to apply pressure to YouTube over these kind of videos. I have no doubt at all that the purpose of the video to identify a potential “ANTIFA “ target and to encourage attacks. Going to lengths to identify potential points of entry, the fact they have b&b rooms to rent etc, whilst being careful not to say anything that could be deemed incriminating should someone take The lead from this video and attack occupants in some way. this Video is a threat to the health and safety of the occupants. When we read about how the far right are targeting anti fascist activists in places like Greece for example, an arson attack on places anti fascists would consider safe spaces is not hard to imagine. Please everyone report it.

the artwork was painted first as part of local artists being invited to do panels on the boards round one of the construction sites (old odeon site?)

I've been asked to redistribute some furniture and thought it was all arranged but just been let down and was wondering if anyone here knows of any organisations who might need it or be able to distribute to people in need. It would require a large van and needs to be gone in a couple of days when the lease runs out.

Here's some pictures. There's a wardrobe, shelf unit, glass coffee table, small fridge and 6 nice quality chairs and a few bits and bobs.

Try DAGE (Deptford Action Group for the Elderly) on 020 8691 8823.

I have used them, albeit a few years ago, and they were good.
