Peckham rye park and the new dwellers

LaineyB, you obviously care about children. You're a nanny for God's sake! You can't be as cruel as you sound.

[buddug]

And rbrtdngl, I think you're right.

[dbboy]

James and Gavin, as local councillors is their something you can do to help these people find sheltered housing?

[ratty]

Can I just say that Shelter are not the right people to inform. Southwark SPOT team (st Mungos) or London Street Rescue, Thames Reach are the right ones.both can be going by googling

Lainey, your tone is offensive to the head, heart and nostril. Unchallenged, it would have made the rest of us look silly , insular and smug. Thank goodness this thread hasn't gone the way you expected.

[LaineyB]

Honestly it isn't what it seems, misjudged post.

Was merely light heartededly written as I was curious as to I others have seen the recent increase

I am humble enough to apologise of I caused offence last night am I am obviously not callous enough to not care

[tallulah71]

Good that you apologised - very offensive post.

[LaineyB]

Really wasn't meant to turn out that way

Puttin the child spin on it because all parents know thu are spurious wa only meant to lighten it up whilst I found out who else had joticed

[LaineyB]

Oops iPhone errors...spell check :(

[buddug]

Great you apologised, LaineyB!

[LaineyB]

Will note the criticism I received...hopefully will see an improvement in future posts :)

Good thing about the forum is people taking the time to stand up

For what is right

[buddug]

And you have brought the issue to our attention, even if your sense of humour came over as rather off-kilter! We all make mistakes, lets face it.

[LaineyB]

Thank you buddug

I would advise anyone if you see a rough sleeper to call 0870 383 3333 to make a referral to Southwark SPOT or London Street Rescue. This line is staffed 24/7 and is the fastest way of getting people help via an outreach team. If you don't have a name give a very good physical description with details of when you have seen them most often (time of day, very specific location).

If the people make the call themselves that's always better but if they're not engaging and a bit 'scary looking' that may not be likely.

Can I join the baying mob at LaineyB's door ?

Good on you for seeing the offence caused and clearly caring enough to apologise. My pitch fork is back in the shed and flaming torch extinguished.
