another one from the Forbes article:


"If you?re down for making money, we?re about to go hard in east london tonight, yes tonight!! I don?t care what ends you?re from, we?re personally inviting you to come and get it in. Police have taken the piss for too long and to be honest I don?t know why its taken so long for us make this happen. We need a minimum of 200 hungry people. We?re not broke, but who says no to free stuff. Doesn?t matter if the police arrive cos we?ll just chase dem out because as you?ve seen on the news, they are NOT ON DIS TING. Everyone meet at 7 at stratford park and let?s get rich."

Damian, not everyone in SE22 is white, middle class, and shops in Lordship Lane boutiques. There are large council blocks at either end of the main road. My neighbours (in both my current and previous addresses) have been of varying ethnicities and had varied occupations. I think you have an inaccurate impression of the local area.

ha so if people travel outside their local area to commit crimes dh then the 50 robberies that took place in SE15 in June were commited by people from outside of peckham, from east dulwich maybe? which doesn't seem fair as only 32 robberies were reported in se22 this june.

Jeremy, I think I have made it clear that I am referring to the overwhelming majority. Tell you what - sit for a couple of hours on LL of an afternoon (as I did today by chance) and see what the general demographic is.

haha! Probably no need though - I don't think anyone with serious intentions to take on hoodies would be stupid enough to discuss their intentions on this forum as the police would be able to identify them immediately if they seriously injured anyone. The tough guys on EDF are all mouth and no trousers.

Which part of Lordship Lane? It's a long road & not all the demographic you seem to think it is.

could this mean that the hermetically sealed bubble has actually been broken? 'my life will never be the same again' might have to uproot and head for the countryside. Might see an influx of estate agents on the streets of East Dulwich, and perhaps a gun shop?

"I already said - not all ED residents shop on LL. Many of the shops on LL cater to a narrow demographic in terms of products and pricing."


I was about to say something similar. I pop into LL if I'm looking for gifts, to browse the charity shops, occasionally to pick up something a little more special for dinner, but I primarily use Peckham and Brixton. The bottom end of LL largely caters for a very specific and quite narrow demographic. Why would it be frequented by people who may not be able to afford to shop there, or have no interest in the range of goods on offer?

Do you really think so BenMorg?


Seems a remarkably stupid post from you there. Firstly, you seem unable to comprehend the fact that some people might have more guts and community spirit than you and be willing to walk the talk. Secondly, what reason do you have for assuming that anything that is being proposed would be something that needed to be hidden from the police?


I think that your post is a rather transparent case of projection.

am always cocerned wehn porblems laed to people saying we ned nmor police on teh stets when we all know taht the police are at best inefiecyent at woprst a pseudo criminal organasation with undreemed of powers and inefluence more plice is leke saying more buoncers wil keep teh high steets safe for peple the plice are invaraably compisd of dim wited muscle with a reichein authoritarian fetish and serouis esteme issues more musle deos not mean more peece look at libiya or syria to se this in actoin more plcie is like replastring yor wals when yor house is subsiding itno teh mud lol

I am well aware that things have quietened and that there are more police on the streets. This whole thread has been based on what we would do if the situation deteriorated again.


Second point - obviously some vigilantes have been racist groups. Is your contention therefore that some local watch or protective alliance cannot be constructed on a non-racist and responsible basis? Of course a group could be brought together with a civilised non-racist agenda of doing nothibg but protecting local people and property. A slightly comical and obviously larger scale (and armed) example was the Home Guard during WW2. That body (obviously hard to think of with out laughing due to Dad's Army) was made up of respectable, decent folk with no gretaer agenda than protecting their local areas. There was no racist or greater social agenda there at all.


Third point - yes there are currently 16,000 officers on the street and things are quiet. If you have been following the news, however, you will have seen the universal view that such nmbers are completely unsustainable.

I agree with Damian H, plus i hate the way all the liberals dust off this word 'vigilante' and use it so 'liberally'!...


How do you know what my affiliations are I bet you will be the one leading the charge captain?

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
