Rioting getting silly now


BB100

Recommended Posts

A man in a wheelchair yesterday entered a busy butchers in Catford and started to openly put packs of meat under his coat. When the customers told on him, he turned and barricaded the door with his chair and presenting an iron bar threatened to kill anyone who went near him. After 20 minutes of customers trapped in the shop the police arrived enmass in four vans. Has someone put something in the water?

If you must know the customers were elderly, and the wheelchair user proclaimed himself a rioter, not me. Yes I did think it was funny and ridiculous, especially the over-reaction by the police - probably overstaffed at the mo me thinks.

but crazy people in wheelchairs in Catford are ten a penny.


Is it bad that I find this statement funny every time I attempt to post a butcher-related quip on this thread?


And do these crazy people wear wrap-around goggles and sport numerous metal badges on the lapels of their denim waistcoats?

My grandfather once jumped over the butchers counter and attacked the butcher with one of his own knives. The butcher ran into the cold room and wouldn?t come out until the cops came to settle granddad down. He wasn?t a rioter my granddad. Just annoyed.


I don?t think he had the same highly developed sense of zen that I do.

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
