You may be interested to know that from this year the regulations make it much easier for those with "hidden" disabilities to get a BB, so if you or someone you know have been knocked back in the past it may be worth reapplying: https://leasing.com/car-leasing-news/blue-badge-hidden-disabilities-changes-2019/

You do know that brexit hasn't happened yet, robbin? Inflation is dropping or holding station across the globe at present, not sure how anyone could interpret those figures as either indicating a positive or negative outcome. "Don't jump in the sea with all your clothes on sir, you'll get unpleasantly wet." "Well, I think you'll find that it's only five minutes before the time at which I plan to jump into the sea with all my clothes on, and I'm dry as a bone. Therefore your contention that jumping in the sea will get me wet is entirely invalid."

Why not, it's only hot milk with some chocolate on it and kids love it, both for taste and a "being the same as the grownups" bit of fun. A lot better than giving them Coke or similar.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said. You're going to get torn to bits by the pro-car, "I should be allowed to drive whenever and wherever I want" lobby which dominates these threads, but you're spot on.

That's simply not so, the police have disliked her since 2012 when she first imposed 20% cuts and she was booed and heckled at the Police Federation conference. In revenge for that she gave a speech at the 2014 conference accusing the police of all manner of things. She didn't start on cutting S&S until 2015. The antipathy between TM and the police, however it's developed over time, was not started by her "standing up to the police unions", it started because she cut the policing budget by 20% - the effects of which we are seeing every day on the streets.

AFM has as much relationship to the polio vaccine as autism does to MMR. Exactly the same nonsense: all of these people have been vaccinated against polio, a few develop AFM (which is incidentally caused by an entirely different strain of enterovirus), therefore the polio virus must cause AFM. My dog has four legs and a tail, my cat has four legs and a tail, therefore my dog is a cat. It'd be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

That is not questionable, the link you yourself provided shows that infant mortality has been reduced by 60% since 1986! Good grief.

Wow, that's spectacular TE44, you can use a 0.1 per thousand increase in infant mortality between 2015 and 2016 to try to make your point and ignore the 60%+ decline in mortality in the last thirty years? Do you really expect to be taken seriously? > Oh and by the wsy I think 2017 kas cholera > outbreak. Not quite sure what that means - if you mean that there has been a cholera outbreak in the UK, the last indigenous UK cholera case was in 1893.

"The National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) is an American 501©(3)[1] anti-vaccine organization which has been widely criticized as a leading source of misinformation and fearmongering about vaccines. While NVIC describes itself as the "oldest and largest consumer led organization advocating for the institution of vaccine safety and informed consent protections", it promotes false and misleading information including the discredited claim that vaccines cause autism, and its campaigns portray vaccination as risky, encouraging people to consider "alternatives". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Information_Center

Not sure if you mean globally > or Uk but not true either way. Well, are you going to tell the British Medical Journal that or shall I? Odds of dying playing soccer 50,000:1, odds of being murdered 100,000:1. https://www.bmj.com/content/suppl/2003/09/25/327.7417.694.DC1 Sounds unlikely I know but anecdotally in my life I've personally known three people who've dropped dead during sports activities (1xsquash, 2xfootball) plus a boy in a school I taught in who died from a heart condition while playing football; I've never been acquainted with anyone who's been murdered.

Let's just have a dash of perspective: while every murder is tragic and one too many, you have far more likelihood of dying in an accident at work in the UK than being murdered. More people die whilst playing football each year than are murdered. The number of murders in London last year, which if one believed the press was the biggest bloodbath in our history, was lower than that for every single year between 1990 and 2008. Homicide rates per head in the UK were higher in 1900 than they are today. Furthermore, the vast majority of murder victims are killed by someone they know; the chances of being killed by a stranger, as seems to have been the case in this tragic event, are vanishingly small. I'm not saying don't be vigilant or that everything in the garden's lovely, but the garden isn't as full of snakes and boobytraps as this event seems to have made some people feel.

Even if he was there would be an arguable point: more drugs=more gangs/violence=more people carrying knives=greater risks to innocent bystanders.

Children are growing up physically and mentally impaired due to the effects of pollution. No winky smiley from me, I'm afraid.

You must think your own excrement does not stink! It is people like you, no doubt left-wing luvvies who destroy this country and the real fabric of social debate. You are rude, obnoxious, completely up yourself and no doubt think you are better than all other individuals who live on this planet. God bless your neighbours, your family, your friends (if you have any) and anyone who ever meets you. I have wiped more appetising commodities from the soul of my shoe. Commodities which are, when compared to you, much richer in social fabric, have the ability to interact and most definitely are neither ignorant nor arrogant. Listen oh obnoxious one, go and join your left-wing luvvies, no doubt all remainers in the referendum, and go and drink green tea and discuss Chairman Mao's little red book and all the rest of it at some coffee shop.

Please, can we have a link to one of your novels? I have a feeling they could really be something quite spectacular...

Briefly, a) do you think someone enraged, disturbed or simply callous enough to cut someone's throat over a cigarette is going to stop and think oh, I'll only get twenty years in prison for this, not executed, so I'll go ahead? And b) it has been demonstrated over and over again that capital punishment does not act as a deterrent, most notably in the USA where states that do not use the death penalty consistently have lower murder rates than those that do.

Jog on, little man, jog on - not interested.

Well yes, and I don't suppose people in Brazil are talking about a murder in East Dulwich. That doesn't imply a lack of concern about others on either side, people will naturally be concerned about such happenings in their area and discuss them, particularly on a forum specifically dedicated to discussing local issues. Entirely agree with RPC that speculations as to causes and motives are not helpful when none of us knows the story, the police have the suspect in custody, let justice take its course. ETA correction, I mistakenly thought the suspect was in custody, apparently not. Hope this changes soon.

georgecanning, I suggest you read up on the 1998 Malicious Communications Act before you send me, or any other person, any more PMs of the nature of the two you've sent me already. Fortunately I have far better things to do than bother with the illiterate rightwing ravings you've sent me, but if you tried to pick on a more litigious or easily frightened individual for your bullying you could get in rather a lot of bother.

Jolly good - you're being reported to Admin for abuse - not this post (not that it's believable) but for the threatening and abusive PM you've just sent.

Ummm...your username is the pub's name, your posting history comprises adverts for the pub's events, staff wanted etc, and now you're asking if it's open or not? Is this the clumsiest bit of attempted product placement ever?

ED is nothing like in between Peckham and Camberwell, they're both north of it. If anything we're between Herne Hill and Nunhead. Furthermore, it's nothing like a "rough" area - I've lived in some in South London, including Coldharbour Lane when the Yardies were in full control and shootings were commonplace, there's no comparison. Tragic events like this morning's just point up how rare they actually are in this neck of the woods, and there's no need for everyone to go overboard as they did on the (thankfully now deleted, good shout admin) other thread about this.
