In addition, it costs ?50k to lock up a prisoner for a year.

There are a billion things contributing to our currents states of affairs, X Factor has definitely played its part however small.


There are some truths in those french opinions like the dehumanising effect of globalisation, how that is in any way shape or form peculiarly anglo-saxon is just bollox though.

And again, most people in round 2 won't give care about Duggan. Bear in mind, though, that round 1 was meant to have been started by the family not getting answers quickly enough about the original incident, and look where we ended up.


The family might well condone the violence, however there are alot more vested interests desperate for the Police to be seen to execute an "innocent man" and will kick it off again.

Or if you moved to the Home Counties because of the lack of affordable housing...

I'm opposite Camberwell Green and that is utter bollocks. Half the problem is people scare-mongering. If any of the little scrotes read this forum (granted, unlikely) they may now decide to head for this supposed gathering at Camberwell Green, and suddenly you've got a problem that YOU have created. Irresponsible rumours, not to mention the fact that my wife is believing what she reads on here and thinks I'd be safer in Kosovo.

Fortunately most of the expats I know have a sense of pride in the UK and a great deal of concern for their friends and colleagues caught up in this disaster. It would probably take a particular kind of person to capitalise on this tragedy to make petty attacks on others.

I phoned Sainsburys 5 minutes ago and they confirmed that all customers had been evacuated and the store was closed; just the staff to leave. This was due to specific advise received which is that there is a mob moving from Camberwell through to Peckham.

So, in order to keep things factual, you've posted some facts that you received from a shop worker who'd heard from his colleague who had heard some rumours from someone who heard from an indeterminate and unspecified individual who had specific intelligence that a gang was heading from SE5 to SE15. If I was in a mob heading from SE5 to SE15, I'd take the flat route along Camberwell Church St myself, rather than trekking up Grove Lane and Dog Kennel Hill then down the other side thus threatening Sainsburys on the way. (As you can tell, I think you're being ridiculous in posting this nonsense and panicking people for no good reason).

PLEASE can you post concrete facts - photos from Twitter, actual accounts of movement - there must be some of you there that are at home nr LL that are aware of what is happening. I need to make a decision as to whether to come home soon or go stay in Orpington - i'm on my scooter and don't really fancy being punched off it tonight - that nearly happened last night on the junction of Peckham Hill st and Rye lane just before they burnt down the bus - i dodged a couple of the little n0bheads.


On another note - why burn down McDonalds, Fried Chicken Hut and JD Sports?

Also, why loot Poundland??? Are you serious??

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
