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.

Defendant found guilty at the Old Bailey today, he is being sentenced on Tuesday.

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 ?

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  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 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
