Agressive woman on lordship lane last weekend

Recommended Posts

Hi all! Last week when I took my wife out for a meal in Dulwich we were assaulted by a black woman who approached my wife from behind and started pulling her her. She was very agressive and rude. luckily the situation ended without a fight. She was in company with a white man with bald head and mustache. Have anyone had the same problem with this couple? The woman is very noisy and rude. Will appreciate replies as I want to let the local police know about what happened. Thanks

Oh no what a horrid thing to happen. I've never come across this woman and don't think I would want to.

Hope you and your wife are now ok.

Did you not call the police at the time?

Also unless she was the colour of the rainbow,it's fine to say black.

It is now more PC (cf Cumberbatch incident) to say 'woman of colour' - but let's get over this - in this particular case, as we were being asked whether we had been involved in similar incidents, the description of the pair (I assume the man was bald rather than just bold) is relevant.

It is now more PC to say a woman of colour????

Says who? How ridiculous is that.


Says the American anti-racist literati, who complained vociferously a few month's back (during the Oscars) about Cumberbatch's use of 'coloured' instead of 'person of colour' - when he was making an anti-racist point about casting and recognition.


And yes, I think it is worthwhile getting over arguments about phraseology when it was clear it was not intended to offend, and when the identification of someone's looks was relevant, in this case to aggressive behaviour and whether it was a repeat offence.


This is not the same as arguing we should 'get over' casual (or intended) racist or offensive language. This wasn't it. The acceptable terms for describing someone's race (when it is relevant) have changed and are constantly changing. Using a now-outdated expression without intending to offend is hardly a capital offence. BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) has now segued into BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) - neither would be helpful in describing an attacker.

Rather than competing on being as PC as possible and talking down to a man who has a wife who is a woman of colour (or whatever the current acceptable phrase is) and who doesn't therefore need a lecture on racial tolerance, it would be more useful if people could help him by commenting on what may have been an unprovoked assault and trying to identify the woman who assaulted his wife.

If you contact the police they may well have a good idea who it is. After an incident with a v aggressive woman coming to our house (could possibly be the same person as you describe though you haven't given much detail) I called the non-emergency number just to flag it in case she came back and our local bobby followed it up later in the week - he thought he knew who it was. Thankfully she hasn't been back but I did spot her on Lordship Lane a couple of days ago

So from this thread it seems like if you attack someone in the street and an observer describes your ethnic background in an old-fashioned way then you are innocent and they are racist. And the focus changes entirely to attacking the observer.

Very convenient I have to say.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.
    • Hi my mum has a lovely frenchi , he needs to be walked , as mum (80) is a bit fragile . he is a lovely dog , a bit nervous when around other dogs . Mum lives in East Dulwich . how much do you charge ?   Thanks 🙏🏼 
    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
