The two photographs below were taken in my local high street, Sydenham Road, on Christmas Day. There are probably a fair number of leftists in Sydenham, I’ve met some of them, and laughed at them before. I made a short video about this in October.
I’ve lived here for four decades and apart from some graffiti and, if I recall, a broken window or two during the insane and contrived Black Lives Matter protests of the Summer Of Floyd, I don’t recall seeing any political activity with a capital A here. I hope things stay that way. There are a few Jews live here; a while back I saw a couple of Orthodox Jews working on a shop, refitting it or something.
There is also a road called Jews Walk where the youngest daughter of Karl Marx lived from 1895 until her suicide three years later. There is a blue plaque outside her house. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point one of these clowns doesn’t put a sticker or two on that, although Anti-Fascist Action are more likely to tear it off the wall.
