South Norwood news and chat

[Miss-Shelf]

The campaign against Louis Caresides in South Norwood was particularly pointed, including Tories haranguing the polling station queues. Which is not, technically, illegal if those queues go out on to the public road, which they did, but is certainly shitty. I know people who felt uncomfortable/intimidated by it all, and who was concerned at everyone giving the thumbs up to the Tory candidate and laughing at what he said. Mostly about the that's awful

Aha. I haven't seen that yet. Mike Bonello was elected? Do you have the figures?

There are swings to the Tories of about 15% in New Addington North and 10% in Woodside

The reason I said "supposed" is because he was standing for election, which kind of cuts across that, I would have thought.

As a matter of record, it should be noted that on 22 August 2019, local resident and reported 'millionaire property tycoon', Paul Bussetti was found Not Guilty of the criminal charges he faced (see above) in relation to the circulation of material showing the burning of an effigy of Grenfell Tower on fire.

For reasons that are as yet unclear, Mr Bussetti found it necessary to make a throat-slitting gesture after being cleared of sharing footage of his friends burning a cardboard effigy of Grenfell Tower.

Croydon food festival

Where is that?

 

[Callie]

Where is that?

It will be in south Croydon. They block off the road near the flyover and then there's a stage, loads of food stalls and my favourite is the street cocktails stall who are going to have a sound system this year. Midday til 7pm. It will be busy and noisy!!

There is an after party at a bar called Riff Raffs until 1an.

 

[Callie]

It's entirely possible to do both but really bad planning on someones part I think! Amateurs!!

There is also a Family Pride event at Stanley Arts. Too clashy!
