You quite happily fire from the hip "demanding" answers, how about taking a different tack and not making it personal.

WoW Sue, all guns blazing.

Well good for you, I don't feel safe. And saying why don't I go and live somewhere else is crass. Yes London is lawless, open your eys and see the reality.

No it is not, it is a fact whether you like it or not. Do you feel safe on the streets, because I don't, do you go too central London, I don't as I don't feel safe. No one knows if someone is i) carrying a weapon or a knife and ii) you don't know what will trigger them to use it. So feel free to live in your bubble, but the reality is London is lawless and the police stand by and do nothing.

The current crimes from what I hear are phone theft from the person, car theft and tradesman vehicle/tools theft. Plus of course the overall increase in stabbings and shootings across London which are becoming normalised.

Shocked to hear that they did so much damage trying to break in.

Sue said "But I'm sure the silver tongued Keir Starmer will be able to smooth things over. Not to mention the King and Queen 🤢" Starmer dithers and is unable to make any decision and when he finally does he gets in massively wrong and duly backtracks. The guy is a liability and clown who the country needs rid off before he taxes us to heaven whilst bankrupting the country. And as he's flying in and around Windsor for two days, I do hope they've got the skies covered as he's a sitting duck.

He's the leader of the largest super power on the planet He's been invited He was voted for by a majority of Americans Nothing we can do to change any of the above You may not like him being here but there is really nothing that can be done to stop this happening No, I'm not a Trump fan either, however it's going to happen and he'll soon be gone and back on his way to the US of A.

🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

When I say more police presence, I meant locally, more police on patrol, not in unmarked cars and vans but on the street, willing and able to tackle and catch thieves, now that is their job isn't it?

Khan is not capable of that position And as they say "frying tonight"

Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering. The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on. Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft and tool theft from tradesman (massively on the increase), both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile. Met Engage? I don't think so.

Or Burnham for Mayor of London

No they're not, generally London is becoming more lawless with less police and fewer and fewer police stations. Khan said he'd increase the numbers of police however the ploice commissioner said the opposite as the finances will not allow. Funny how the Mayor's proportion of the council tax was increased to cover policing but it ain't happening.

What standing on the world stage? Starmer is a wannebe leader, no charisma, no passion, no leadership but tonnes of dithering, wringing his hands and pooing his pants. I'd love to see Burnham give him a run for his money. Reason he became Mayor of Manchester was due to him no longer wanting to be in front line politics. This thread has now gone well off topic, perhaps it needs renaming. Mandy and Keith's bathrobe Or, how Mandy stuck it to Starmer

Austin's, oh what memories that brings.

Simple answer withdraw all Lime and Forest bikes, even better send them all to the crusher.

That's awful

Try using their ask my GP an raise it as urgent and see if you get a quicker response. As an example had a telehone consultation on 4/9, was told by the GP to book a face to face which I did and that doesn't happen till 23/9. Why so long to be seen???????????????

Does anyone know or can recommend anyone to replace the cylinder on an office chair please.

Yep Peter Mandelson is officially toast. But what now MUST happen is that the title of Lord and all the privileges which go with that should be removed immediately. It's a long way up the pole but it's an even longer way back down as Mandelson is finding out.
