I detest @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social dog whistle, divisive approach support the Far Right protests targeting asylum seekers, two-thirds of whom are successful in their applications fleeing war, genocide, discrimination etc. Is this the new Nasty Tory Party?

Angerstein Branch rail bridge over Woolwch Rd

Delighted to see Network Rail have finally overpainted the aged graffiti on both sides of Angerstein bridge over Woolwich Road. Follows my intervention to use the overnight closure. Would be great to paint a train or just "Welcome to Charlton" one side, and "Welcome to East Greenwich " on the other!
