You are not part of the core click, you are just a nice chick. I like you, Carole, I think you are brilliant. You are not part of the core click, you are just a nice chick.

Seems to have been a wild success, though very conventional when compared with the burning of effigies - different bands, singing, dancing, a film show (still to come), shoulder massages and so on. I meant to go on the wildlife walk which started outside the Peckham Library, but chickened out when it started to rain. Nothing particularly artistic about wildlife, I suppose, but it's a very inclusive festival The Glebe Estate has been celebrating the Arts Festival all afternoon — still is, in fact, though the bouncy castle has now been taken away.

Nibbles for knowledge. Crisps for cliques. Snacks for claques. Talking of arcane elites, I pedalled down to the Green today for the start of Arts Week at noon. Artist Mark McGowan and comedy terrorist Aaron Barschak were due to burn an effigy in protest against asylum deportations. This is not a protest for the squeaky-clean, like some of you bloggers. Asylum seekers have often really offended their betters back home. I myself have done loads of things wrong. I still keep cocking up. My life is littered with mistakes, aberrations and even felonies. I made the trip there on my ego. The "o" is the wheel, the "e" is the handlebars and the "g" is the seat. No Barschak to be seen. Nothing at all in fact. Just a few tired middle-class attitudes blowing about in the breeze. I went back half an hour later, still no effigy-burning, no Barschak. Anarchy! We are lucky to have such quality anarchy here in Camberwell. The Human Rights Jukebox marched past. They were good. Then I got on my ego and pedalled off, a stranger in my own lonely void, an I with no id. Exactly, Reg, nicely put. Nibbles for knowledge. Crisps for cliques. Snacks for claques.

Celine & Vonnegut - a flavour to herald the next evolutionary step of crisps for the cognoscenti? @Dagmar.

Only joking! I know nobody that uses this site regularly personally (at least, not knowingly). So, whilst a regular poster, I don't consider myself an "insider", just part of the OnLine blog "community", if we can indeed call ourselves that. I think that Peter adopts a very liberal role as moderator. Disagreement and discussion should not be confused with disapproval. There is no "voice" of this blog, just a collection of voices. I think that you're being a bit harsh, branding that as ego-tripping. Learn to be more tollerant, troll! @Marilee 92

It’s a Camberwell thing. At last you’ve stuck your neck out. Keep it up.

What the Council says, the Council does! I'm sorry - the cynicism button on my keyboard seems to be malfunctioning. @Mishmash– post 89

What is happening with this blog? I used to look forward to having a read every day. I kept me in contact with Camberwell, and was informative and amusing. Now it seems to be dominated by a clique who's only concern is to show off, bicker, indulge in one-up-manship with one another, or do that "bleeding hearts" thing - not really covering up smug middle class contempt for all things different. ( for Dagmar, in particular, the blog appears to be one big ego trip). New members seem to be driven away pretty quickly or called "trolls". Along with people who contribute an opposing or critical view (like this) - also written off as "trolls". i think it would do you all good to take a step back and read this from "a stranger's" point of view - it has become truly awful.
