Twinterview? Tweeterview? Brixton Blog speaks to @FreeSouthLondon via Twitter about their plans for an independent South London
Y shld S.Ldn be free?
South London is a beautiful hemimetropolis that has for far too long been overlooked in favour of her northern twin
What R U trying to free S.Ldn from?
Prejudice. Lack of funding & development. Self-hatred… And a lack of Tube lines! SORT IT OUT TfL!!
Where does S.Ldn begin & end?
Good Q! Obv the Filthy Brown Thames is the nth border. But cities never end neatly. They sprawl on & on…
Can you just move south to become a part of our nation or do you need stronger ties and a decent blood line?
A kid in Asia obsessed with CitizenSmith, RootsManuva & AFCWimbledon is more SL than a kid in New Cross who always goes out in Shoreditch
What kind of nation will we be – aggressive or peace-loving? Any invasions of N.Ldn on the cards?
Ha ha! Sadly the days of aggressive imperialistic expansion seem to be gone… Thus we SLers need to fight with culture – art, music etc.
What would the main policies in a free S.Ldn be?
Support all grassroot initiatives! i.e B£, AFC Wimbledon, Chateux Tooting. Stop gang violence. And heavy handed southbank border control!
Is there a S.Ldn national anthem?
National anthem? We need a public debate on this! Or maybe an open competition. Also need to choose a patron saint, a national flag etc.
I love it! Can we also remind North londoners that South London is not just made up of Clapham y’know…
Sasha @ The Happiness Project London
Or should we say Cla’am?
How do people in Sarf London tweet and blog without electricity and running water?
My mummy says not to pay any attention to you – you’re just jealous…
Hurrah! I am in full support of the coat of arms and the national anthem and the whole shebang. I’m a Peckham dweller myself so the wondrous Brixton is just right around the corner.
Surely the patron saint of South London should be St. Reatham?
