This is worse than the manipulation and coercion of schoolkids to write a brochure for Pop. Its unpaid labour. Something must be done to stop this.

It sickens me how consumerism (see 'iphone sheep') is turning once normal places into places for the rich, and segregating the rest of society, like we don't fucking matter. So long as the 'haves' can boast about their 10 quid latte, fuck the rest of us!
Fucking sickens me.

You don’t have to give a reason. The issue with an FOI is whether the information asked for should be supplied or not. FOI are what they say they are- about information.
As can be seen with the FOI about the arches shops in post above. Its careful to ask for information not to give a reason for asking for it.

Which establishment is charging £10 for a latte? Can you name one charging £5? Have you ever heard somebody boast about a latte because it was expensive?

Schools are part of the ideological apparatus that inculcates norms and values of society. Whether that’s overt or not. They are coercive in the very fact that attendance is compulsory for example. There is no such thing as a politically neutral education.
So if schools as an institution are to stay the question is who decides what direction politically education will take.
Norms and values change over time in a democratic society. It was only a generation ago that "Empire Day" was celebrated in schools to show schoolchildren all the wonders of the British Empire.
I don’t have a problem with schoolkids doing projects on the shops in arches or in Pop. Its a good thing to make there education relevant to what is happening to the local area they live in.

Take it as you like, but it was meant as an "I'm not a cunt who thinks gentrification is acceptable"I'll take that as an "I'm a sycophant talking out of my hole"
Just because you can afford the ridiculous, inflated prices, doesn't make it right.
I realise you probably couldn't give a flying fuck about those less fortunate than you, but some of us do.
And "sycophant", really? Grow up, and smell the Mocha Frappe with locally sourced vanilla syrup!

Nor I in this specific circumstance, but I can imagine being concerned about some other incident. As I tried to say i think it depends where the impetus originates. A class project stemming from individual teachers and supported by parents raises far fewer questions than the institutionalised propaganda I saw when voting.

It seems that it's ok to get kids involved in political stuff as long as it's pro-right and pro-capital.

With regard to Network Rail planning application would everyone who objected be notified when the hearing date at Lambeth would be heard ? Someone mentioned it's going to be tonight !

I don't know but I just looked at the comments page, which still seems to be open, so anyone who hasn't objected can (possibly) still do so.
Because of multiple threads this one doesn't contain much about that process, so a round up might be useful. Comments were supposed to be in by March 10, they're now standing at 956, the last one recorded is April 6. On the other thread I mentioned that they were split 929:14 on 14 March, every one since then has been an objection.
In passing I notice that Rushy is banned. He has a great deal to contribute to this sort of thread and should be invited to return.

If someone puts an objection in they should be given notice of when it goes to planning committee. I have not got anything re it going to planning committee.

Why am I not surprised?
Promises to rehouse traders temporarily in Valentia place was a way for NR to deal with bad publicity for a while.
Made them look more reasonable. I wouldn’t trust anything NR say.

The person liaising ( ) with the Traders said that she couldn't get the job signed off by the relevant Department on a Health & Safety matter ! She went on to say that the whole of Valentia Place will form part of a much larger development in the future once the Commercial side of Network Rail is sold off in order to reduce their overall debt

I love this FOI:
Teaching schoolkids subversive behaviour.
I wonder if the kids' parents/guardians are aware that their kids' photos have been published for the world to see? Did Brixton Buzz or the councillor get consent from the parents involved before publication?
If they didn't get consent, that it the truly bizarre thing and possibly in breach of the Data Protection Act. Perhaps someone should let the Information Commissioner's Office know...
I notice Stockwell primary school has completely ignored a similar request made via What Do They Know. If Lambeth Council had taken a similar approach to a FOI request, you'd hear no end of it on this forum.
Certain members of this forum have made use of FOI before, so it also seems bizarre that they criticise other people for making use of the same legislation.

Everyone will know the answer once Lambeth respond - that's the beauty of FOI, isn't it?
Can you confirm that you don't believe that parents or guardians' consent is needed before publication of their children's photos on the internet?
The NSPCC advises otherwise:
Photography and sharing images
Is the NSPCC's advice "bizarre"?
CH1
"Red Guard"(NLYL)
Do the FOI people publish the name and address of the enquirer?
I was just thinking that since Rachel Heywood is a public person if the name and address of the enquirer is withheld this is rather like a snitch.
I am sure there are good reasons to have guidelines such as the NSPCC ones on photographing children - but to me this FOI enquiry looks like the action of someone wanting to make trouble for Cllr Heywood.

It's just some bitter twat who knows nothing of the law trying desperately to cause trouble. He's the same petty arse who's currently wasting everyone's time with this: Chalk slogans on pavements 4 May 2016 - a Freedom of Information request to Stockwell Primary School, London

I can. You don't need it and for rather obvious reasons:
There was no need for a FoI to find this out, the information is easily accessible. The person who started this is an idiot.Photographing children
There are no laws against taking photos of children, but someone taking an unhealthy interest can rightly expect to attract unwelcome attention from the authorities (and quite probably passers by) pretty sharpish.
Be also mindful that if you're taking pictures in areas where dodgy folks, drug dealers and ne'er do wells may be in view, they're unlikely to be pleased with the attention and probably won't be bothered about the niceties of the law in their response.
If someone asks you to stop take pictures of them, it's generally a good idea to do so.
Update: According tothis blog, Home Office Minister Tony McNulty MP has commented on the current legal situation regarding privacy.
"There is no legal restriction on photography in public places, and there is no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place.
It is for the Chief Constable to ensure that Officers and Police Community Support Officers are acting appropriately with regards to photography in public places, and any queries regarding this should be addressed to the Chief Constable.
However decisions may be made locally to restrict photography, for example to protect children. Any questions on such local decisions should also be addressed to the force concerned."
