Action needed to reduce the danger on London’s roads.

Some 3,961 people were killed or seriously injured on London’s roads in 2022.

The interim Vision Zero target for 2022, set by the Mayor in 2018, was that there should be a 65 per cent reduction in deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads. So far, the reduction has been 38 per cent.

Met police officers are openly defying orders not to wear badges appropriated by the far right and linked to white supremacy. Mark Rowley banned "thin blue line" badges.

However, images have emerged of Met officers wearing the symbol late last month as they policed a stand-off between LGBTQ+ rights supporters and a rightwing group over a drag act’s performance at the Honor Oak pub in Lewisham.

You're fired!

Poster boys Laurence Fox & Calvin Robinson of TurningPointUK's Honor Oak Pub anti drag storytelling demonstrations have both now been officially sacked by GBNews.

#LozzaFox has been arrested and in custody over alleged incitement to damage ULEZ cameras.

TurningPointUK also allege that the Pub manager has been sacked but we are unable to confirm that.

A lot of P45 fallout. More: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/04/laurence-fox-arrested-over-comments-urging-people-to-vandalise-ulez-cameras

Tomorrow is TurningPointUK's monthly outing to demo Drag Story Time at our Honor Oak Pub.

Poster child this month is Laurence Fox newly banned by the far right GBNews for being too far right with his shocking misogynist attack on a jourmalist this week. Also banned was Calvin Robinson GBNews personality and TurningPoint organiser.

Will they dare to pollute our neighbourhood?

Just to be clear there was no Drag Queen Story time today at The Honor Oak pub. The protesters knew that.

Which leaves the question of why they came here? The police should have better things to do.

From Thameswater incident report:

Our specialist team are on site and attending to a burst main in the vicinity of Waldram Road. We've re-routed water supplies to minimise disruption and keep taps flowing. You may continue to experience lower pressure than normal or an intermittent service while we work on fixing things and demand for water in the area remains high. Pressure will increase and the situation will improve in the next few hours.

We take our kids to see Pantomine Dames, Paul O'Grady who died last week eulogised as a national treasure and ultimate drag queen. So the left will be out but so willbe the socially liberal centre and traditional conservatives who thought their fathers had put an end to Nazi salutes.

Thankfully TPUK is ineptly led. They must be an embarrassment to TPUSA. They couldn't be trusted make the trains run on time.

For the third time of asking #TurningPointUK are targetting a drag children's story time at the Honor Oak Pub . It's less than a couple of miles from where I live. The previous two were a disaster with only a handful of protesters against hundreds of counter-protesters.

TPUK is the offspring of #TurningPointUSA trying to import their transphobic pedophile/grooming meme to inflame our culture war. Trouble is it doesn't translate too well.

From the Evening Standard

A counter demonstration has been organised in support of a drag act whose upcoming performance at a south London pub has sparked a far-right protest.

Drag queen That Girl is hosting a storytelling session over brunch at the Honor Oak pub in Forest Hill on Saturday from 10am.
