Regardless of the reasons, this is terribly sad for the family involved. I can't even begin to think about how I would feel if this was a member of my family or a dear friend. Our thoughts should be with the family at this difficult time.

Thank you Coach Paul for the gofundme details. Thank you Jules-and-boo for highlighting how we can help and support the family.

So true....but talking about this won't bring about a much needed change...people need to gather and march, protest.

like they used to.

the only way to bring about change is to gather together as one strong voice...and MAKE them i.e.; the powers that be listen.

or all we will get as we have seen repeatedly by this government and mayor are empty promises and press worthy soundbites to subdue the feelings of discontent we all feel.

I personally thank god I do not have the worry of bringing up a teenage boy in London today on a council estate like the one I myself grew up in-I would s**t myself every time he was late home from school, or popped out to hang on the streets with his mates like I and my friends did, or even went out to get a takeaway.

People vote for low taxes-I'd rather pay more tax and see it spent on decent social housing, education, healthcare, and policing.

all the counties resources are overstretched due to government cuts-those who voted for the present bunch of self satisfied muppets are seeing the outcome of the constant cutbacks.

I myself have been approached more than once by aggressive beggars on the overground and on the streets locally

but for the grace of god I have been safe when refusing to hand over cash, or cigarettes( I don't smoke but if I did at about ?10 a packet I wouldn't give one away if asked)

As long as there is no policing on our streets and not enough staff to man or repair the street CCTV this kind of senseless violence will continue.

I spent much of the 80's in NYC in really scuzzy areas where crime was rife but y'know what? I felt safer there because there were always cop cars cruising or parked at busy intersections as well as police on the streets.

Other reports including met police say the man charged lives on Lordship Lane.


Seems like this 24 Yr old adult stabbed and killed someone on his own street, by himself (not trying to impress his mates), for a cigarette.



Given these circumstances I would question his mental health (and I bet it will form part of his defense).


If found to be sane and guilty, I hope he receives a full life term.


I don't see how we can blame society for this; poverty or lack of opportunity is not an excuse for this disgusting disregard for human life.

I hope that verdict gives some small measure of comfort to the family and friends of the victim of this shocking crime.

If he does get 'life' on average he will serve 15 years before being eligible for parole, based on his behaviour and reports in prison. He will always then be 'on licence' and could be returned to prison if he breaches his parole terms. Judges can set higher minimum terms before he would become eligible for parole.

Isn't Patel banning automatic parole ?

    • By now you’ve hopefully seen that our main demonstration against Trump’s state visit is in London on Wednesday. Many of you have also asked, though, about how you can help ‘welcome’ Donald Trump to Windsor when he arrives there tomorrow (Tuesday) evening. So here’s the plan: We’re asking you to come and line Windsor High Street tomorrow in a peaceful, static protest.  Time: 6pm, Tue 16 Sept Location: Assemble outside Windsor Parish Church, High St, Windsor SL4 1LS and then spread out along the High Street. Grab some cardboard and a pen and make a homemade sign to show Donald Trump and his supporters what you think of them!  The world’s media will be in Windsor to cover the state visit, so showing visually that he is not welcome will send an important message far and wide. If you are coming then please join this Signal chat group for important updates.     Protest safety Please buddy up and come with someone else You have a right to peacefully demonstrate, but we are expecting a high police presence. Remain non-violent and non-confrontational, and do not talk to the police. It may be better to dress inconspicuously, not like an ‘activist’ We plan on ending at 7.30pm. Please leave in groups of 5–10 and make sure you have a bust card This action is entirely legal but we still recommend that you read this key advice when going on a protest to know your rights. Remember:  No comment No personal details Ask ‘under what power?’ No duty solicitor Don’t accept a caution Here is the protest support line: 07946 541 511 and here is more information on Stop & Search under the Public Order Act.   Thank you for being part of the movement against Trump. In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
    • We booked a day when we could drop around 8 bags. They directed us to use the rear entrance on Carver Rd. I would definitely ring as they don’t seem to have much space at the back. Our experience was great, they were very polite and thankful.
