One afternoon in 1895, while being transported to prison Oscar Wilde was made to stand on a railway platform, where people jeered and spat at him – a humiliating ordeal. This episode takes us to south west London, where the poet and playwright paved the way for LGBTQ+ rights through his experience and is remembered with a very special plaque. London's LGBTQ+ history can sometimes feel hard to see or find, as much of it is hidden, lost or goes untold. Supported by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, London's rainbow plaques are designed to highlight this heritage in our streets.  What does it mean to queer Londoners to see LGBTQ+ histories commemorated in the city where they live, work and love? In this episode, we talk to queer Londoners today about the importance of recognising significant people, places and moments in LGBTQ+ history, through the lens of the city's rainbow plaques and beyond. Listeners should be advised that this episode contains a single swear word at 13m41s. You may like to skip forward by a couple of seconds if you don't want to hear this. ---------- Presenter: Aindrea Emelife, Curator of Modern and Contemporary at MOWAA (Museum of West African Art).

Alice Findlay, RNIB Customer Voice Insight Coordinator shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in with RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey. Opportunities highlighted this week included: See Sport Differently Programme Involvement Opportunities RNIB have teamed up with British Blind Sport to launch our new See Sport Differently campaign. Blind and partially sighted people are twice as likely to be inactive than people without sight loss, and so the goal of the See Sport Differently Programme is to tackle the barriers around awareness, confidence and information to get more blind and partially sighted people feeling the physical, mental and social benefits of sport and exercise. The RNIB are looking for people with sight loss to act as See Sport Differently Champions.  You may be someone who takes part in local sport or physical activity and happy to share your experiences with other blind and partially sighted people. The RNIB would be hoping that you might be able to offer informal peer support and encouragement to others who are taking those first steps to get active. There are more ways of taking part in the programme, from signing up as a See Sport Differently champion, to sharing your story, joining a focus group, or helping the RNIB evaluate the programme. There are lots of ways to get involved and you don't need to be sporty or active to take part.  Contact the team via email seesportdifferently@rnib.org.uk to find out more about current opportunities.  Visual Impairment among Chinese Communities in the UK BRAVO VICTOR (a sister charity of Blind Veterans UK) are currently recruiting adults aged 18 and over who are Chinese or of Chinese heritage and have a visual impairment to take part in a research interview.  A recent review found that very little research has explored the everyday experiences of adults from different ethnic communities in the UK who have a visual impairment. Considering that some groups may be at greater risk of visual impairment and the health inequalities experienced by different ethnic communities, it is important that they are included in research and their voices are heard. The aim of this research is to explore the experiences of individuals with visual impairment in Chinese communities in the UK, including their support needs and access to services. By understanding these experiences, BRAVO VICTOR hope to identify areas where improvements can be made to better support Chinese adults with visual impairment. If you are interested in taking part or have any questions, please email Yanan Yu via Yanan.yu@bravovictor.org or call 020 7550 4049.  All research information and materials are available in Chinese simplified. Lambeth Council Accessibility Working Group MP Smarter Travel are currently working with the Transport team for Lambeth Council, London, on the delivery of an Accessibility Working Group. As part of the Equalities Act 2010, Lambeth Council want to ensure that all proposed infrastructure in the borough meets the requirements for disabled individuals. Visually impaired individuals can experience infrastructure differently to others and this can restrict their experience and freedom of travel. Whether this is kerbs, tactile paving, junctions and crossings, or access to buses. Accessibility working group members will meet monthly to discuss proposed infrastructure designs and suggest changes to these designs. Feedback from the lived experience of accessibility group members will ensure that new infrastructure implemented in Lambeth is as inclusive as possible going forward, and freedom of travel is experienced by as many individuals as possible in the borough.  Accessibility working group members will need to live or work in Lambeth, London, and be available to attend one meeting per month either online or in person in Lambeth. If you are interested in participating in the group or know someone who might be interested, please do get in touch via email info@mpsmartertravel.co.uk or call 020 7960 2559.

House prices are through the roof. The race for space has caused the cost of the average property to go up by over 7% in the past year, according to Zoopla. Adam asks them if that trend will ever stop. More than 700 children suffered cruelty and sexual abuse at care homes in south London between the 1960s and 1990s. Those are the findings of an inquiry that have led Lambeth Council to offer a full apology. But is that enough for the survivors? And we end with an Olympics update courtesy of BBC Sport presenter Dan Walker, who tells us how Covid and even flat tyres haven't been enough to stop Team GB from celebrating so far.

We're meant to stay home to stay lives, but with glorious Spring weather in the northern hemisphere, some people are finding the outdoors too tempting. Jonathan Carr-West and Ingrid Koehler take the podcast outside this week with reflections on public space, this common experience and the safe and appropriate use of the commons.

Lambeth Council cabinet meeting Monday 28 April 2014

The 2010 general election saw the largest influx of black and minority ethnic MPs to the Commons that Britain has ever seen. There are currently 27 sitting on the Conservative and Labour benches - up from 14 in the last Parliament. But are we starting to see a 'new black politics'? Some suggest that the radical left-wing politics of the 1980s is no longer relevant in twenty-first century Britain, where there is a growing black middle class, a multitude of different black communities, and where black people are represented at the highest levels. David Goodhart meets the black politicians adopting a more socially conservative standpoint to their predecessors and also talks to their critics: those who say that some of the country's most vulnerable people have been forgotten by the establishment; that institutionalised racism still exists; and that many of today's politicians do not represent the people they are meant to serve. Interviewees include: David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham Shaun Bailey, former Conservative parliamentary candidate Linda Bellos OBE, leader of Lambeth Council 1986-1988 Bill Bush, chief of staff to GLC leader Ken Livingstone until 1986 Trevor Phillips OBE, Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Kwasi Kwarteng, Conservative MP for Spelthorne Stafford Scott, race equality consultant in Tottenham David Goodhart is editor at large of Prospect magazine and was recently appointed as director of the think tank Demos. Producer: Hannah Barnes.
