Listen to the voice of the politically disaffected - interviewed on the BBC world service

Staggering ignorance: "...yeah it's them innit, whoever it is, it's THEIR fault". Unreal. They've trashed and stolen from a shop. And don't know why.

Solid politics there then.

I just did the 343 thing again from Borough up to Cheltenham Rd and all was quiet. Noticeable police presence in both E&C and Peckham.


Having seen a few riots now with looting etc, I'd say it won't kick off in the same places that have already been hit for the simple reason that if it was worth nicking, it would have been nicked already.


Here's a short vid of the action in Camberwell, shot an hour ago: http://www.twitvid.com/6PC5J

The way i see things is thus: i absolutely abhor what is happening in my country. But peckham, brixton and all the other places you could mention have now become a melting pot to place all immigrants. Peckham and brixton have had their problems for years, but it all seemed pretty much sorted until the local councils decided to dump every single nationality on earth on their doorsteps. I in no way condone what has happened, i deplore it. But something major has to happen and now.

Seemed to be the situation when I walked down LL about 5 mins ago too.

Does this theory hold for the various other ghettos which have seen trouble.. such as Bromley, Fulham, Ealing, Chingford, Balham, Merton, Oxford Circus and Chelsea?

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
