Not sure if there is a link for it anywhere, but it's about the drug problems and St Agnes Place eviction.
Anyone else seen it?

No, but here's a funny thing - the Standard phoned me up yesterday and asked if I'd like to write them a letter on the subject of policing in Brixton. I said I no longer lived in Brixton or indeed in Lambeth and didn't read the Standard ...
Blimey, he's been busy! He's got an article about the yuppification of Brixton in this month's New Internationalist and all...turning into a regular little Keith Flett isn't he?
i always thought keith flett was the name of a group of letter writers, kind of like italian anarchists all call themselves luther blissett.
No, he's a real person because I met him at an Index on Censorship thang that Sheena McDonald was chairing at the Ritzy a few years ago (unless he was an imposter, of course).
if he was a chubby bloke with a beard it was keith, he drinks in my local
Glad to see him putting his considerable energies to constructive use.Originally Posted by Mrs Magpie
Mind you, we've seen how desperate the Standard is for letters here!
some years ago, i encountered a senior standard journo. the chat turned to the letters page, and i was told that on occasion they made them up.Glad to see him putting his considerable energies to constructive use.
Mind you, we've seen how desperate the Standard is for letters here!
although i hope that that insidious practice has now ceased, it does indicate that they're not exactly flooded with correspondence.
no, he's a big cheese (or a cheese, at any rate) in the world of socialist history.
Anyone got a link to Hatboys letter?
I can't find a link, checked TIL site but they don't put the letters on there.
Or they just get letters they don't want published...well done to HB though.
Good for hatboy...what did he have to say?
You will have to go and buy it!
is it 20p today?You will have to go and buy it!
and there was me thinking he was just an unemployed leftie with too much time on his hands.
No, 40p I'm afraid, you tight bastard, anyway it's too long for me to type up and I am not sure it's allowed anyway, they could do the Editor for copyright I think.
That is a funny thing indeed - they could do it themselves. Surely the Evening (sub) Standard are quite talented in making stuff up, since they do it every single day?
I had the opposite - a letter I'd written got turned into a full blown article! It made it sound like they had interviewed me.
I have the standard, and will type the whole thing up here, when i have time, prolly tomorrow as I have a zillion CVs to look at and techies to torture etc.
it's a good letter. makes sense.
Yes indeed a good letter - seems like he's doing things right for a change as I only ever heard bad stuff about him on here
I take it there's no comment on it though?
The other letter is appalling.
Yeah, pity about that...
