I've just move to ED from Brixton and find the EDF great for news on the area - unfortunately my first contribution is re a mugging outside the front of my flat (corner Woodwarde Rd and Lordship) just after midnight last night where a girl was attempting to rob another girl. I heard the screams and ran downstairs where the melee had moved over outside the Plough - by the time i got there a bus driver had stopped and was holding the attacker while the local vicar called the police.


I know there have been a few mentions of female attackers recently and i'm just wondering if this girl may have been one of that gang. The poor girl who was being attached was covered in blood and only for her screams and concerned passers by may have faired worse.


On a lighter note it was a funny way to meet my new neighbors, coming out of their houses, most "tooled up" ready to help the victim.

There seems to have been quite a bit of trouble around the Plough area this weekend. An attack at costcutter and then this mugging. I also noticed some cops apprehending some kids at the bus stop on Saturday morning. I wonder if they are somehow related or the same group of kids.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
