Hi Forum,


Just posting on the remotest off chance anyone saw or heard the smash that resulted in my parked car being written off last night. It was at about 11.20pm, outside no. 314 Upland Road. Heard a vehicle driving hard and fast up the hill, then heard a bang, went outside and my poor old much-loved Citroen has been completely scraped along one side, rear bumper completely off, wing mirror on the road.


Later on, maybe it was just my imagination, I could have sworn I heard joy riding type noises a bit further south in the area - maybe on Lordship Lane or Dunstans, Overhill, Mount Adon Park kind of area? Did anyone else?


Needless to say please contact me if you can add anything to this sorry tale. I have a feeling I've read about other cars in SE22 being mindlessly smashed into overnight in the past couple of weeks. Perhaps someone is doing it for laughs?


Speaking to my insurers this morning they more or less told me not to bother reporting to the police!

Sorry to hear that - ignore the person you spoke to at your insurer though and report it to the police asap - the insurer call handler may just be woefully naive.


There may be a nugget of intelligence the police could use. Or at the least it will show up in statistics and highlight the problem...

We heard it! I can't help though, sorry. We heard the bang but by the time I'd got to the front window I couldn't see anything apart from some foxes going crazy - I assumed they had been fighting and knocked over a bin or something. I somehow didn't notice your car with it's bumper hanging off!


I would normally have been in our front room at that time and could have been more useful but our 5 year old is currently scared of burglars (she hasn't been reading the forum, our car was broken into recently) had woken and I was having to lie under her bed until she fell back to sleep!

      I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government

      In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.

      Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform.

      “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 ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
