Seems there were a large group of people on Forest Hill Road (near Herne Tavern group of shops)heading in direction of local cemetery and there was a shooting with at least one person hitting the ground. A friend of mine has just let me know about it as he had just got off the bus there at the time.

Yes I was just about to go to the bus stop. Going to work.


It was cordoned off by the police. Gang shooting. I decided to go straight back home. I live on Marmora Road.. the shooting was at the bus stop directly around the corner from it on New Forest Road.

I was going past in a car at about 3.10pm and saw a man lying on the ground and there were no police or ambulances there so it must have literally just happened. I thought perhaps he had collapsed but there were people looking after him so I didn't stop. Up the road there were around 100 people just outside/inside the cemetery looking as if they were about to attend a funeral. I'm guessing the two were linked somehow?

About 20 minutes ago, my husband was walking past Camberwell New Cemetery and said it appeared to a be gang shooting. Two police helicopters circling overhead. It was mayhem on Forest Hill Road, near the French Cafe - police with machine guns. Looks like it was some kind of gang funeral and someone opened fire. Some very dodgy looking characters - and those are just the women. Multiple road and air ambulances in peckham park. Helicopter above. Guy at scene says 3 dead and several injured.


All unsubstantiated of course. Terrible news for the families.

I heard this as I left at about 11.30 and yet when I went to (do a funeral at) Lambeth Crematorium, that crematorium had police helicopters circling as well and yet there weren't any young people being cremated there today. No idea what they were doing there as well. But indeed I agree, a sad day for the families and friends involved.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
