Does anyone know what % of flats have been sold & @ what sort of prices? All unaffordable I know.

Unmanaged toilets not really safe are they?

Media business as usual then

Here's my closing suggestion: I think it might help to see the difference between how we describe one another as individuals and how society describes us. I am an individual with brown eyes, and female etc etc. You might describe me differently, but…

@rattle well said. And @grenners: why was it necessary to refer to someone as old? Interested in your reasons
-
@Arcady: English, I think, usually refers to country of birth, not ethnicity
-
Yes. The office for national statistics consulted widely on census categories & yes they are fixed into 16 groups. When people's individual ethnicity is recorded those individuals self- assign which group they belong to.
-
And...having been part of the women's movement for decades, I think it is also important to say that you have to define those discriminated against first and campaign for equal treatment long before you can refer to someone as a "person"
-
This is good debate. I can see now that what the census has struggled to do is not the same as how people think about themselves and others. La lotta continua.
-
Actually @scruffy the scientific definitions of ethnicity are derived precisely by self assignment! But the categories for the UK are fixed
-
That is a good way forward. I'm reminded of an Irish exhibition where a guy repeatedly explains he is Irish when asked: where are you from? Those asking are all incredulous simply because he has dark brown skin.
-
Yes you are right. I consider myself part of a white ethnic minority. And I know how offended I feel when people decide what they want to call me. This reminds me of a dilemma I discovered among Peruvians. Indigenous Peruvians describe themselves a…

Indeed. All pronounced the same and easier for media presenters to deal with in one lump
-
Personally I think that people from ethnic minorities should tell us how they want to be described. This is a good basis in an equal society. In the US it seems that the term "People of Colour" has been chosen. But here, the term BAME seems to have …

Heartwarming. Which St was this?

@Peter Crumb : yes your experience was really inappropriate. But like you, I've noticed most people are completely compliant. I have a" 2m pls" polite response for all non-compliers. I've discovered that being rude back promotes more aggression.

I'm posting a message from Cathy Meus, chair of the Parkland Walk about the risks of closure of the Parkland Walk if users don't observe the physical distancing rule: "Hi all - I would like to put out an important message to all users of the Parkla…

Yes: he is brilliant

Coldfall Wood and field: pretty quiet
-
Esther: did you get any help?
-
All this likely to be decided by a Londonwide lockdown
-
Good to keep it local. Refer people to Stroud Green Mutual aid if they need stuff dropped off if they are self-isolating.

In a divided country, my guess is that showing the folly of panic-queues will deter 52% and encourage 48%
-
This group has a lot of volunteer support across the spectrum. It probably doesn't hark from Labour but rather from a growing need. You can join and pls share widely in N4.

Has anyone an update on whether the victim survived this terrifying incident? All I found in the local media was the initial bloodstained details & no follow up.

Hear hear

See Review of Dangerous Dogs Act https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-politics-44072175

Attacks by dogs on people have increased by 76%. It is an offence against the 1991 Act for an owner to allow their to be dangerously out of control. This incident & attacks cited on Crouch End Appreciation society yrsyerday clearly show this wom…

I witnessed the attack at Bacchus & it was my dog that was attacked -NOT chased Miss Annie- twice last week in the park. The vicious dog is called Elsie & it also went for a passer by. I didn't see the details as I was protecting my dog. If…

Useful. Thanks. I've used Streetlink before. They do visit.
