I spoke to a policeman there this morning who said it was an isolated incident involving one family and nothing for the community to worry about. A bit later the whole of Sunray Gardens was shut. Sounds like something sad and horrible but not as scary as it could be.

No, come on. You posted an allegation of something really serious. This isn't a subject for gossip; you have nothing to back up what you 'heard'. For all admin knows you're making it up. You think it's 'gossip'? You aren't living in an episode of Eastenders!


Also, stuff like that can potentially prejudice future criminal trials. You get that, right?

I'm afraid JoeLoeg is correct, ukalec. A bit of common sense if required when writing gossip on a media, I think you're comparing it with telling someone personally that you heard something and therefore it's fine, a bit of hearsay, idle gossip etc.


What you wrote could be classed as sub judice i.e. you said that someone did something and the influence of the you saying that on a forum could affect the legal proceedings, so the perpetrator can be released "on a technicality" and I'm hoping you don't want that. Anyway, the forum doesn't want that so I've deleted it.

    • There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.
    • They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
    • Is it lame? Or is it Lamey? (sorry)
