Mostly Camberwell related stuff with the odd rant thrown in for good measure.

Formerly @36ReasonsSE5 at the other place. Thought it time to update a little.

If you live in the London Borough of either Southwark or Lambeth, you qualify for membership (free!) of the OV Local scheme at the Old Vic. Main perk is 20% off tickets under certain circumstances. But here’s quite a nice food offer, very tempting for me, given it’s on my way home from town.

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social happy new year Mr 61. I finally persuaded some friends to go inter railing with the family & they just pointed out this from the myinterrail.co.uk website. I’m assuming it just means we’ll need to use the www.interrail.eu in future but have I missed an announcement?

This can't really be shared enough. Memorise the detail, tell people who need to know.
“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”

Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.

Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.

It’s the 22nd anniversary of a man sitting in a bath of beans. This may not seem remarkable, what with that being a staple of rag weeks everywhere, but this was in the window of the House Gallery in Camberwell. This was Art

8. Anyway, please remember, amid all the noise about the prisons crisis, that it is caused not by rising crime or rising population. It is caused by rising demands from people who do not represent this country and do not have our interests at heart. Thank you. 8/8

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

Two Camberwell pubs in make the 100 top food pubs . I’ll let you take a punt which one’s made it. (Hint: it ain’t the Hermit’s Cave, which should win every award IMHO).
In fairness it is about the good and I’ve heard very good things about the Kerfield.
